DON's Yarn Barn and Creative Crafts Emporium

Even though I have more uncompleted projects than I can count on 2 hands, I started a new knitting project the other night just because I needed something not too complicated to sooth my anxiety... moving the pretty purple yarn from one needle to the other as it grows in my hands.

I'm using yarn I bought in a sale bin years ago with no project in mind... it was too pretty and too good a price to pass up. So... even though it's not as bulky as the pattern calls for it's knitting up nicely into a shaped cowl. Had to size up the needles from the pattern recommendation 4 sizes. Good thing I swatched!!

And yes... I like to knit and shit.

I'm totally gangster!​

First time crocheting a sensory toy. Assembling this made my brain hurt but otherwise I'm happy with how it turned out!

I love this!
I always thought assembly was the worst part.
You did so good though!

What keeps the strings/ yarn from coming apart where it rolls? I like it

Thank you! It was baffling to me at first lol. I had to watch a video of someone using one to figure out the seams because the pattern I have wasn't very clear.

Its the way they are sewn together. It took me forever to figure out how to add the last few seams. Thank you very much!

Also - big hug for your bad day.

Me too, Its the coolest "kit yarn" I've seen in a while ...
And by that I mean... It's intended to make something specific.... And I don't normally buy those kinds of things because I suck at following directions

Can't wait for pics!

So I got busy helping with home work and haven't played with my yarn yet but here are some cool things I bought!!!!!
