The weekend was pretty nice, but busy. I was able to borrow few crochet books from the library though. Kiddu was off to downtown with friends. Since her exams are done and the classes begin only on Friday, she is very happy. I have to confess that I am a bit scared when she want to go to downtown with friends. But I have to let her learn to fly…by herself, I think.

So again another Monday, I am pretty mcuh free to myself to crochet…’The Made in Canada’ cotton yarn is just waiting for a project. With the dusty rose cotton yarn, I made few placemats. They are about 6 inches diameter. I made a set of 6. Got enough time to steam block and take pictures too.

This is the picture of the set. I just put them one on top of another.

Also, remember the last week’s work in progress? I finished that one. the photo I took didn’t turn out well. But it is a successful baby blanket of size 28X28 inches. I will post the picture another time during the week.

I love crocheting. I have a stash of yarn and threads. But I wasn’t paying much attention to where the yarn is made until recently.To be exact, till I saw Diane Sawyer of ABC was making calls to ” Buy America”. Then I started looking where the products are made. That is where I started to notice that most of the yarn I am buying is not made in this part of the world.

A recent visit to the Zellers at the Cedarbrae mall, surprised me with the Made in Canada yarns. Unlike Wallmart, they have mill ends made in Canada. Also, I saw the Promofill acrylyc blend for $0.99 for 70 grams. It is a thinner yarn, and I am thinking of using a 3mm hook to start a new project soon. I also bought 2 packs of mill ends in cotton, thinking of making something for the upcoming craft show.

Hope, to post some pictures soon…

Here is the crocheted cap, I promised in the previous blog entry. I finished it yesterday and added to the shop
