Blue Star Yarn Selection
Labels: Blue Star Afghan 2 commentsI've still been searching around online for yarn for the Blue Star Afghan. I've found it is very difficult to try to pick colors online. The very small pictures samples of the yarn colors make it very difficult to try to coordinate the 5 different colors I would need for my afghan. I was very delighted to find that the Red Heart site gives you the coordinating colors for their yarns! I think this is the blue multi-color I will use on my Blue Star Afghan. Blues Classic Yarn | Red Heart I will use white and I am considering the other 3 colors as the Skipper Blue, Pale Blue, and Blue Jewel or I may just order my varigated online and look for the coordinating colors in the store. I hope I'm not getting in over my head trying to make this afghan!
The owner's 4 day party is over. It's quiet here and everyone has gone home. Yesterday, Alison was hired to catch, groom and tack the horses for the owner's and their guests to go riding. They were all tired so she paid Alison to do it for them.
What a GORGEOUS day today was! It was so warm I had to change into shorts! It was Alison's best friends birthday so she came over and they went horseback riding. They also decided to go swimming!! Not that warm but you know how kids are...they can take it. Then, we decided to go the State Park for a pic-nic. Then we walked around a little bit...
It sure is nice there when it's not crowded with people. We came home in time to pick up Michael and take him to Wednesday night church. I drove on from there to take Phoebe home, then back to pick Michael back up.
I do have some crochet stuff to post...time just keeps getting away from me. I will FINALLY be posting pictures of my completed Prairie Star Afghan!

Hi. That is a really nice tree! I thought it was really neat looking. A nice photo of the girls too.
Is the red heart yarn expensive to order? I have a feeling it would be by the time it reached me.
You are really brave to tackle that project! I would love to try it but can't find variegated yarn up here with white in it.

Thank you very much -- Yes, it is a fantastic tree!
I found the Red Heart yarn at "knitting warehouse" for $2.49 a skein which is a pretty good price I think. I'm not sure how much the shipping is going to be. I don't think I could find that varigated blue yarn with white in it where I live either. Red Heart does make one though...you can see it if you click on the link in my blog post.
