This week in my creative space I’m unraveling a sweater. I wasn’t planning to buy anymore sweaters. I don’t need anymore yarn. But I saw these little sparkles and all I could think of was a patchwork baby blanket.
I love the primary colors. New parents are always swimming in pastels. Bright colors are a nice change, don’t you think? Plus, take another look at those sparkles!
I’m planning to crochet solid color squares, so this will be the perfect vacation project. (Yes, I’m planning ahead for vacation projects.) I’ll seam them up when they are all finished. It would be easier to join them as I go, but I need a portable project for the plane, the beach, sitting in traffic, etc.
I’m getting pretty good at this unraveling thing. I hardly had any waste yarn — just a bunch of pesky knots at the end of each color change. And even they didn’t go to waste. My daughter took the pile of ends and put them in a bowl for her stuffed dog. He had ramen yarn noodles for lunch.

Oh my gosh! I love that color combination! Great work :)
I wish I had more patience to unravel a sweater. I have one that I started on forever ago and it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier :)
You can never go wrong with sparkles! And I loooooooooooooove that the toy dog had noodles.. too cute.
Oh … that will make something so fun!
I’m told babies like bright colors.
I agree, the yarn is very fun! :)
i do agree that babies need more colour all these muted tones can be too much!!!!
