yarn along:: march, 2024: scrappy

Has the winter gray and brown got you down? How about some color, friends!   I must have wanted more color in my life when, mid-February, I threw up my hands and down the beige sleeve I was struggling to finish.    Instead of the beige, gray, and blue projects that were my February goals, I took a swim through my twenty years of leftover yarn and laser focused on three blankets. I'm surprised there weren't more scraps--I've been more economical with my leftovers than I thought!   Two blankets you've seen here before, but the third, a granny stripe, is new.  For a while I've wanted to make a traditional granny stripe afghan using Lucy's tutorial , but felt daunted by the first row.  Once I overcame that, magic knot balls kept me chugging away at each stripe.  It helps that I have a very short memory; each new color was an exciting surprise, even if only five minutes had elapsed since I'd wound the ball.  It's addicting, stitching as quickly as I can to se
