Recently I received 2 skeins of Premier Yarns Sweet Roll in Cream Pop!!  This is a very soft worsted weight yarn that is self striping in 3 colors, and has 245 yards in each roll….  When I opened the box, I envisioned a sweet little baby blanket that would be perfect in these colors!! I love how it turned out… The weight of the blanket in this yarn is just perfect and I love how the colors worked with  my design!! As you all know, I am a huge fan of self striping yarn… No ends to weave in when the color changes!!!!  I can’t wait to try Sweet Roll yarn in some other color ways for more projects!!

Here is one of my favorite photobombs ever… I was in the back yard trying to get a picture… It was fairly cold and sprinkling a bit…  My daughter was out with me all wrapped up in her favorite blanket and of course… Charlie made sure to be in the photo as usual!  When we saw this picture we laughed until we almost cried… Good times!
