This little blanket is perfect for me to try. We have a beautiful yarn shop in Liberty, MO. where I love to browse. Thought I'd stop there to get my yarn to do this project. Thanks for the great idea. It might be a while, but when I finish it, I'll send you a picture.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543159846866884383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-2431292384498837542009-06-20T20:02:16.536-04:002009-06-20T20:02:16.536-04:00Hey Meghan,

This stuff also makes good hats, scarves, sweaters and anything else that needs to be soft. I made two sweaters with the homespun. And they both came out super soft and wash well as long as you put them in a pillow case and tie a knot at the top. You can also put it in the dryer that way. Although sometimes I've noticed that they shrink if it's not a full load. If you lay them flat to dry off they turn out nice. As always, nice and soft! ok enough of my jibber jabber. Have fun with homespun!!Oneliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916490251663703307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-55946443475337308422009-06-16T17:07:16.163-04:002009-06-16T17:07:16.163-04:00I bought some Lion's Brand Homespun yarn:

I'm on my second skein and am going to stop when I get to about halfway through it. It's a really good size and will be ideal for a crib I think b/c of the width and length of it. It looks really great (I'm using the color Waterfall) and think it's beautiful! I may use the gothic and Antique colors for my next blankets.Mehganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454266589791009103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-38056574264121271802009-06-16T16:49:49.424-04:002009-06-16T16:49:49.424-04:00Hey Mehgan, sorry this fluffy stuff didn't wor...Hey Mehgan, sorry this fluffy stuff didn't work out for you. It frustrated me at first also. But after I took my work apart about three times I got the hang of it. <br />Now I whip up these blankets in a matter of weeks. The best time for knitting them is winter. It'll keep you warm while keeping you occupied. In the summer the outside heat can aggravate your frustration further. <br />Good luck with your future projects and Keep on knitting!Oneliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916490251663703307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-12733962452592750302009-05-30T01:07:49.858-04:002009-05-30T01:07:49.858-04:00I finished my first baby blanket with a different ...I finished my first baby blanket with a different kind of yarn (can't remember what the name of it was, but it wasn't RHBC yarn). It turned out great. <br /><br />So I thought I could advance on to a blanket using RHBC yarn. I bought some. I started it. Knitted a couple rows with much frustration. Lost a stitch and b/c the yarn is so scraggly, I couldn't recover it. So I started over. This happened a few more times. So i gave up!<br /><br />I think I need more knitting experience before I use this bulky sort of yarn. <br /><br />The first blanket I made though was a great yarn--very soft and strong. I think it'll be great for a baby!Mehganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454266589791009103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-7218063469448302642009-05-29T05:46:53.305-04:002009-05-29T05:46:53.305-04:00basketweave and alternating knit with purl rows wo...basketweave and alternating knit with purl rows would work also. I just try to avoid patterns with this yarn because it's so thick and fluffy. The fibers get stuck together for me as it is. I know if I mixed in purl stitches I just may lose it. I have seen this yarn used in pattern work and it comes out really pretty. Maybe someday I'll have the patience to work a pattern in this type of yarn.Oneliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916490251663703307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-44876923696482690002009-05-27T15:13:16.241-04:002009-05-27T15:13:16.241-04:00I'm new to knitting too - I've only done it for a ...I'm new to knitting too - I've only done it for a few days, and besically taught myself. I do okay with purling so I was thinking what if the blanket was done with a few rows of knitting, followed by a few rows of purling, and repeating to the desired length. Of course, you'd have to end with the knitted rows so the edges wouldn't curl up. Also, I was thinking maybe the basketweave pattern would work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103251227803416168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968547263066684218.post-36050327505500251112009-04-29T12:37:00.000-04:002009-04-29T12:37:00.000-04:00I'm excited to try this!

But I'm still having issues with purling and still don't know how to incorporate other colors/pieces of yarn into pieces.<br /><br />So this seems simple enough for an amateur who is really excited to get started on knitting for her first niece or nephew! I sent the link to my friend who is teaching me how to knit, so hopefully she'll say it'll be simple enough for me too!<br /><br />I will remember to update you once I do it! Seems like a great gift for a new mom!! Thanks for your post!! :)Mehganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454266589791009103noreply@blogger.com
