Snow is gone,but it never stayed to begin with

Oh my gosh what is up with this hot as crap weather? Either way, I'm thinking of lace knits that can be worn in this heat without causing the wearer to pass out.

I'm working on a laptop bag(two actually) so that I can give one away. I decided to put one into Tophatter.com. Check it out and take a minute to mark a timer so you can buy this bag from Sweet Yarn. I have another laptop bag for you guys to enjoy quite soon. So for now:

This bag has a nice crochet design, and I have an awesome vintage button attached to it. The bag is stretchy, so feel free to cram a laptop chord in it or clip on a flash drive. Go wild! :)


I've been making quite a few laptop bags, and I will start listing them ASAP, as people need bags, but don't want to have a generic carrier.

Let me know what you think! :)

No review today, as I haven't been able to get a new yarn yet. I'll try to get some sumptuous yarn later on before April.

Happy March, don't be too crazy out there with this beautiful weather everyone!

Woah Happy March

**If you'd like to purchase a pattern(I have a couple now thanks to tinkering with yarn) from me please let me know. I have one right now up for purchase on Ravelry. I will get a photograph up of the stitch when it's worked up...but for now, if you purchase the pattern, you will get a PDF.**

(picture bomb warning!!)
How've you been? February changed rather rapidly to March. I did a giveaway recently. If you had NO idea, please be sure to keep an eye on my shop's facebook page: check it out!. Also be sure to check out the shop itself here!

I'm adding a spiffy beret that's in heather grey. It looks amazing and would be great in all weather. I haven't been up to too much this month(aside from knitting and crocheting my spring products).




I've been selling a few products on tophatter.com under the username of SweetYarn! Be sure to keep an eye out- you're sure to get a wonderful deal if you do!



I managed to get some great deals. One from Tuesday Morning(omg 1.99 for 3 circular needles!?) one from Michaels(2.99 for three crochet hooks L,P&Q)...I plan on hitting up Tuesday Morning again very soon, as they just got three more skeins of the lemon yellow yarn that grabbed my attention...and it is the subject of today's review!


Pictured here are P & Q!

This is the circular needle set, 10.0,12.75 and one that's ginormous(perhaps closer to 15?)

As you can see I've pretty much gotten enough tools to make just about anything your heart desires! I'm psyched for what this spring will bring~



As promised, the yarn I spoke of a number of months ago:
(Review time! Universal Yarn: Deluxe Chunky 100% Wool; Lemon(discontinued)

This yarn outpaces any synthetic yarn that I used before. The Universal yarn; was soft, easily fused when washed in warm water and made turning into a cowl much easier(I did a slight felting, to prevent the wool fibers from flopping out). I got 100grams, 120 yards of the sumptuous stuff. This one is a buggaboo to unknit once you slightly felt it, so be SURE it is in the shape you want...because you'll never get it back! One thing I enjoyed about it was the ease of shaping once I was done designing the cowl. I dunked it into warm water and a bit of dish soap...and it shaped up quite nicely. I don't really know what else to say about this yarn, except it makes me think of the very end of springtime, turning into summertime fun with a lemonade in one hand and a fan in the other.

Does the stitch look familiar? It's the lady lace stitch that I provided before! I placed an accent button on the Mobius cowl, and I'm looking forward to listing it tonight. If you want it, be sure to snatch it up quick...before someone else does!
Delicious~

Hope to see you again soon!
