A Little Crochet and Miss Bayles

Let me get rolling on this blog with this post. Because, I have a picture that my cat decided to photobomb lol

Last November while on travel assignment I subscribed to Jimmy Beans Wool Beanie Bags. For $10.00 a month I get a bag of four yarn samples, a fiber art notion, a card of yarn info, a packet of yarn soak, and a pamphlet or a link to a pattern to knit or crochet a small item for a yarn "test drive". I have three such bags and I decided to work on the crochet project from the January bag, a little neck scarf.

Right when I snapped the pre-WIP picture, Miss Bayles dashed in and came to a screeching halt when she saw the tabletop. Oh, the look in her face. If she can talk! What, mother? More yarn??

My cat is yarn-shaming me. They're little bitty skeins of yarn and I didn't break the bank, kitty cat...

So. Anyway. I have four 20-yard Cascade samples in purples:

*Lana d'Oro of alpaca/wool in Berry Blend, a classic plied yarn.
*Highland Duo of alpaca/wool in Purple Orchid, a single ply yarn.
* Cloud of alpaca/wool in Loganberry, a chainette yarn.
*El Cielo of superfine alpaca/nylon in Bordeax, a soft fluffy lace yarn.

The bag also contained a sample wool soak and pretty Knitter's Pride shawl stick which will end up on my hair :)

I'll get started on little scarf after I get back from jury duty today. Right now it's time to brew coffee, put away the bag of goodies before Miss Bayles gets any ideas, and get ready to drive into town.
