When I saw my friend Rebecca from Little Monkeys Crochet post her Malia Cowl in a beautiful mustard color, I knew I needed to 1) try the pattern one day and 2) make something with that yarn in the very near future. When I was perusing our local Hobby Lobby, I saw a similar yarn and grabbed a few skeins in some gorgeous colors. I was happy to find that when I checked her site, it was the exact same yarn!
Yarn Bee is a brand that I’ve only ever found at Hobby Lobby. (Side note… let’s not turn this into a political or religious fight about whether or not we should shop at Hobby Lobby, ok?! We’re just talking about beautiful yarn here.) I’ve used several varieties of this yarn and I’ve been pleased each time. This yarn is a little bit different than most that I’ve worked with. It has natural feeling fibers worked into it. Even so, it’s soft, and the drape is beautiful. I will most definitely be working with this yarn again.
For this blanket, I decided to go with a random stripe pattern. I tend to gravitate towards things that are very ordered and even, but sometimes I like to encourage myself to go outside of my normal comfort zone, so to speak, and try something a little bit different. I chose to use more blue than any other color because I wanted this to feel like a blue blanket overall. I’m not sure that I accomplished that, but I’m very happy with the finished result.
