Seeing Red

 I ordered yarn from Walmart. I had it delivered to the nearby store and picked it up while I was on my weekly kitty food run.



 It's nothing special but it saved me from driving forever to a craft store to buy it. It's for an impulse project.



I really, really love my Homespun shawl/blankie thing. I curl up in it for a nap most afternoons and for some reason I really, really want a red one. Now I just have to figure out how to fit that knitting in with the other zillions projects I've got going on.

  1. Wow, that’s a pretty red. I have some homespun on hand also. It’s not my favorite yarn to use because it seems to split easily, but I do like the soft fabric but it makes. I’ll be looking forward to seeing your new shawl finished. Blessings, Betsy

  8. This yarn is so cuddly-I don't blame you-too bad you can't warp up the loom and whip off a woven blanket in the blink of time!

  9. Yes! That blanket shawl piece looks SO cozy, I can see why you'd want to recreate it! I've also knit w/that yarn and it's super soft. Red is going to be so much fun to work with this time of year.
