Three Beautiful Yarns

Here are three beautiful yarns I carry at Cat's Crochet Corner….all three are acrylic.  Boy, acrylic has come a long way, baby!!!

My friend Bev has made a few beautiful items with the Universal Yarn, Uptown DK and with the Uptown Baby Sport.  The Baby Sport is a size 2, Sport Weight, and they also have a Worsted Weight which I haven't had the pleasure of buying…..YET.

I did see a baby dress in the Mosaic, and a similar  colorway as shown above.  It was in the group run by Bev and was for one of her contests.  She also had previously posted a photo of the maker's dress  (DarlaDJ) on her blog.  It is quite stunning!  See......

THANK YOU BEV!

Have you ever seen Lily Chin crochet?  If you have, you will understand when I saw that our Ms. Bev could give that lady a run for her title!  I thought I was fairly fast at crocheting, but when I saw Bev start making items in ernest, I was blown away! Seriously!

Should you be anywhere near Payette, ID you should stop by my store and see just what she has stashed there....it is a veritable array of fashion design!  The above little sweater she made out of Universal Baby Yarn.  It is in her own pattern...just so beautiful!!  There's more that I will be posting on my store blog, Cat's Crochet Corner.

We had a blast on her visit and are looking forward to many more such visits - back and forth. No need for me to be selfish and have her all to myself. Must share with her family!

Cheshire Cat from Margaret (Mugginsquilts)

We had a Christmas in July swap in our Vanna's Choice Fan Club group.  Mugsy was my partner....and (among other things) she sent me THIS!

The Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat.

Could not find a limb for him, so he is resting on the TV and watches with me.

Margaret won a contest with this cat, along with the other characters she made. So awesome!

Thanks a million, Mugsy!!!
