But I digress, while hubbie was purusing the electronics isle, the wool display was calling me... It isn't a huge selection but ok. I found GOLD, I didn't have to go into that other store LOL... there it was stacked in neat rows, just the colour I was looking for. With a smile on my dial, I felt the softness of the yarn and put it in the cart. I found hubby and we did a bit more shopping.. And home sweet home, to check the colour I had bought......... "Horrors," it is nothing like it.. how can cream look like a pale lemon??? All I can say is thankfully I can use it :))

| baby Shawl in progress.. |
I am also in the middle of making baby shawls, the picture is so cute.
I have made this pattern a few times, but, somewhere in my life it vanished. I hunted everywhere for a copy and then at the second hand shop, there it was just waiting for me..I couldn't believe my eyes, it was sweet..
The pattern crochets up beautifully and the edging finishes the shawl off just right... Although I might add I am using yarn my kind
friend gave me when she heard I was crocheting for twins and wanted to contribute to the gift.. The yarn is Panda Baby Opal.. and the pattern is crocheted in a granny square ...Well thats me for now ,.
Thanks again for stopping by, and have a great evening..:))

The rug and shawl are just beautiful. You do such perfect stitches. Any time at all is the perfect time to buy yarn!! Love it! Have a wonderful day.
K-mart may be open 24 hours but our local one yarn supply is woeful. I stick to Bendigo now, cause I just love natural wool.
Your wool-eater is looking great as is the baby blanket
This is such a pretty pattern, what is the name of it? It looks complex. I am unfamiliar with this
pattern. Do you make many and stitch them together? About the yarn..I live 5 minutes from a Micheals, and 15 from a Jo-ann fabrics.of the 2, Micheals has more selection, however they run out and sometimes don't replace the color that was there. I have never tried Kmart, the other mart
"W" is woefully lacking in yarn, it has your basic colors...that is it. Hoping you are having a wonderful blessed day..
Thankyou ladies for dropping by.Faith the pattern has a couple of names, of late it is called, wooleater rug, I know it as, honeycomb, and then there is the Hungarian Reversable, and harliquin Stitch.. I have my mums old pattern books and they are a bonus for different sts... hope this helps..
crochet hugs pat in tas :))
