Guys. 😩 They have discontinued my FAVORITE yarn!!! To say I am choked is a gross understatement. Maybe you can tell by my early morning post that it is already on my mind, bugging me to the enth degree.
I love to crochet blankets. That has been my go-to for a good few years now, and I think its an actual skill I’ve enjoyed nurturing. I still love to make blankets, but I have had a constant nagging to play a little bit in the world of wearables. I’ve dabbled over the years here and there but nothing quite comes out how I want it to. You may have seen the cardigans I’ve made recently. They are SO nice. I know I shouldn’t say that. Its like complimenting a meal I made myself. But they really are just so unbelievably cozy and soft and yes, they are exactly what I wanted.
This particular yarn is the same size as the very standard yarn I usually use, yet it feels and lays heavier in my opinion. So it doesn’t bunch up. It doesn’t feel stiff at all. It feels luxurious.
And now, its over 😪
When I made my cardigan, I was worried it would look pieced together or like there were lots of things that really should’ve been fixed. I asked the kids if it looked homemade, and it went like this.
Dekker: No way! 😍
Laela: Not at all!! 😍
Rowan: YES! 😍😳 I mean no. I mean. It looks SO custom, you couldn’t find it in a store!
It was sweet 💜 I loved their reactions, and I really love how these came out.
RIP Caron Funfetti Cakes. Not sure how I’ll go on making wearables without you 💔
