Heavenly Pink

Today's trip to the
Yarn Shop
was for this
heavenly
PINK
Kid Seta Yarn
{70% Super Kid Mohair & 30% Silk}
If you have never worked with this
it's like creating lace out of
thin air.....ahhhhh .....
I also purchased some beautiful new crochet hooks.
I am a die hard, old fashioned
aluminum hook
kinda girl.
However ~
I am Lovin'

Big Time!
 
The reason for today's purchase ~

      We are just one year out this month from Scott's pancreatic cancer & my sister in law being a survivor as well makes it all hit close to home.
      Have a great Sunday!

    1. Thanks Jen!
      This yarn is like working with a soft airy spider web. I have knitted with it before but this is the first time to crochet with it. I love it! Very feminine looking :)))
      Want to make someone feel beautiful with it.
      You have a lovey week in your sunny part of the world!

  10. The yarn looks amazing. I looked it up and found a couple places I can purchase it. We don't have a yarn shop here--just Hobby Lobby and JoAnns with very basic yarns. The pattern is beautiful and I can imagine how soft it is. Will one skein make one?

    1. Hi Pamela!
      And WELCOME! I am so glad you are my new friend!!!
      No Yarn Shop ~ EEEEKKK!!!!!
      The pattern says 1 skein but I am discovering it will go through at least part, if not all, of a 2nd skein. The cost was $12.00 per skein.
      It is SO SOFT!
      Looking forward to blogging with you,
      Blessings,

    1. Thank You Jum!
      Yes, do look for it. It cost $12 per skein. I will go through probably 2 skeins for this scarf. Less if you knit with it instead of crochet. Crocheting uses 2/3 more yarn than knitting does. I love the color too. *PINK* is my favorite color also!
      Happy Day Sweetie,
      Danette
