They are AWFUL! I know...but imagine this.....
You're hearing in the background the Mission Impossible beat..dut dut.. du du.. dut duh.. dut dut..duh duh........tweeedle dee.....
anyways, I felt like a spy that wasn't supposed to get caught taking photos..and sneaking the photos I did...lol
This is the NEW Yarn department at Michaels. Was I impressed??? I can't really say that I am. Did I buy something, well of course...I mean, I had a 40% off coupon...and I really wanted to try something!
This is the new Homespun yarn------>
I don't like Homespun because it usually unravels and I just outgrew it. It was fine when I first got started and wanted a cheap inexpensive yarn to play with, but I don't want to wear it any more...

Michaels has also expanded their organic Cotton yarns...Now that's something I can really enjoy. I do like cotton. In California, we really don't need wools. I love the feel of wools, but I don't wear any.
In fact when I was at CHA last year, they got some sweaters from the Thrift store and the woman washed and felted them...then she brought them to CHA and we made things with them after cutting them apart. It was really hard to just cut a felted sweater but after I got started, it was really fun cutting and creating something...
This is one of the new colors of the BERNAT Alpaca
Soft and green with a sheen to it.



LION ORGANIC Cotton

Patons PURE

Now this is the yarn that I really liked. It has a feel of Mission Falls, which is one of my favorite yarns...it has several different solid colors and about 4 of these multi color skeins. I love the texture of this organic cotton...

In fact, I bought this one after buying the one below...this is a beautiful pinks, and red combination...

This is the first one I bought....
Making a ditty bag....


Knitting up the sides. I couldn't find a pattern/texture that would work with this few stitches...so I settled on just knitting and then I did a row of eyelets. I am going to continue and do some other fun things as I go, so it might look terrible by the time I am done but this is just one of those practice things..hey, it might look ok....we'll see...
So, that's my tale for today....
