What's teh best part about November?

(images when I can get my camera some batteries! Please have patience.)
Good question! I think it might be the changing weather, the ability to pull out my woolen gloves and hat. Or it could be the wonderful expectation of snow and hot cocoa hovering on the horizon! I consider snow and cold weather a blessing instead of a curse. I hope you do too.

What have I been up to? I am working on quite a bit right now, and I will be shipping out the prize from last month this week! I also have an order incoming and another one that needs to be done by the second week of December!! Wowwie how exciting!

 I would like to do a review!

I decided to make a HUGE blanket, and I was curious about a yarn in Joann Fabric, so I took a visit. I was not disappointed, let me tell you!

Sincerely Yarn(Sincerely Red)

This yarn was rather supple. When I was crocheting fabric, it through I fully expected to have rope burn(I knit/crochet at high speed). What I found is that this yarn was gentle on my hands. Silky as a matter of fact. As I kept going, I found that the yarn was holding on to a cinnamon odor, and upon a little bit of online searching I found out why. Joann, Michaels, and a few other stores place "holiday" scents in buildings to bring a nostalgic feeling to those shopping. If you are allergic to these types of products, I would suggest staying out of the store until January...

This yarn was in a larger packaging, and I will never cease to be amazed at the progression of 100% acrylic yarn. It doesn't have to be hard and without give, it doesn't have to be full of factory made knots or stretched super thin from the machines going too fast.





Softness:5/5(what a soft acrylic! On par with the mixed material of Big Lots Gala, but more in the ball )
Price:5/5 (try to get it with a coupon for extra savings)
Color:5/5(very rich and definitely a "true red")
Ease of use: 5/5 (I could use it from the hank with no kinks, a rare occurrence for me considering the speed I pull from the hank)

Red Heart has recently released a "Soft" line, and when I can afford it, I will review it in the future. Until then, stay healthy, and WARM!

If you would like some product from me, feel free to e-mail me or just visit my zibbet shop and purchase a handmade scarf! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
