Yarn Stash and a Crochet WIP!

Hi there ! How are you all doing ?

Finally , my yarn starvation period ended last week :) I just wanted to share my latest stash which I received through mail order from Pradhan stores . These are Anchor knitting cotton . I got 2-4 balls of each of these colours .  I am eager to make lot of things with these lovely colours .



 

 

These are thick silky threads of a local brand . Luckily their colours are fast. Earlier , I had purchased similar kind of local threads and to my disappointment all the colours came out after the test wash .
 
WIP : I have made these crochet spheres for one of my projects . I have made five of them . I am anxious to complete this project and share with you all but I just hop around all my projects! Or maybe the projects hop around me to get their attention – Will it be my show on the post today? Me! Me ! Me first!! They all follow me crazily :)

The tutorial for these perfect spheres is available here .
 
 

 

 
 
This Mercat is just crazy about these balls !!
 
I will be away for next week to visit my mother :)  I hope I will be able to post one more part of WIP before Saturday this week .
 
Happy blogging !!
 
Preeti :)

  9. Lovely Lovely colours that tempt one to pass the day with a crochet hook in hand! Anchor is a good brand it should be colour fast.
    You know,there is something about a crochet sphere that delights me on its own with no adornments. However I am eager to see what you are making them for ? :-)

    keep well

  20. This silky yarn looks tempting. Would you be interested in yarn swapping or something? Just let me know.
    And what hook size you use for Anchor knitting yarn. I dont find them very soft to work with. I use 2 mm hook. I tried 2.5, but that was no better.
    Bye for now!
