Pebble Haze Yarn | Yarnsmiths | Wool Warehouse

We are back home after a holiday down south.

 Our version of what Norwegians refer to as "syden." 

It's good to be home and back to "making."

First stop, the post office...

And when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but this glorious package

 of the yummiest, softest yarn from the kind folks at 

Wool Warehouse.

This is Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze...one of each color of the solids.

 It also comes in prints. I have three in mind that I am going to purchase. 

I am definitely in L-O-V-E. 

These are my two favorite colors:

You can find this beautiful, soft, and airy yarn by clicking here.

Now what to make???

The softest, coziest blanket ever?
or
A lovely spring sweater/jumper/cardigan/vest/dress?
or
A cuddly and squishy dream cushion?
or
Maybe a bag?

Any ideas?

Stay tuned for a suspenseful decision...

and lots of 

to you!

More Love Nugget Sachets | Gift Ideas | Crochet Pattern

A handful of "Love Nugget Sachets" would make the perfect gift for that special someone! 

Then how about pairing them with a tea towel, all in the name of love?

This tea towel has hearts and roses on it! 

Can you stand it??? 

Of all the places, I found it at Mrs. Backers Pastry Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

I had stopped in to purchase Valentine-themed pastries for photo props,

unfortunately, the pastries didn't make it home. 

What's a girl to do when there's a fork in the bag?

Heart Baubles and Sachets | Crochet Patterns | For Holidays

How about combining the Granny Heart Bauble with 

the Love Nugget Sachets together on a wreath?

Baubles and wreaths...not just for Christmas anymore...

I used a heart-shaped dollar store wire wreath form, 

rooted around in the Christmas storage box, 

procured a few heart-shaped ornaments from the craft store, 

and included the crocheted baubles and hearts. 

It has been hung on the back of the door instead of the front of the door, 

this way I can see it all day long 

(and there might be another wreath that's heart-shaped on the front of the door already).

Yes, yes I know... the coffee maker and the electrical plugs in the pic, 

but this is real life, man!
