This cool double sided notebook was in our box. One side is blank pages (you could sketch project ideas) and the other side is lined (keep track of yarn stash, or jot down pattern ideas.) And the front says, “My Plans for Wool Domination.” ($9.99) How did they know that my goal is to own all the yarn in the world? Well, maybe just the cotton and wool.
The knit pattern in this month’s box is a pair of beautiful gloves entitled First Frost by Joanna Rankin. They have a beautiful lacy pattern across the top of the hand. Lovely.
“First Frost, designed by Joanna Rankin, is a quick-to-knit pair of lacy gloves with an airy ruffle around the wrist. Fast enough to knit up an almost last-minute gift, and elegant enough to wear to any holiday party.” ($5.99)
The crochet pattern is entitled Blooms in Winter by Erin Tutte. ($4.99)
So, I’m not a stitch marker kinda girl. I mostly do patterns that I can glance at, get the idea and wing it from there. This pattern was a little more in-depth than I usually do. I started the gloves following the pattern, but I got a little lost in the middle of the body of the glove. So, I ended up winging it. I don’t think that there was anything wrong with her pattern. It was just very detailed and I have the attention span of a gnat.
The glove didn’t turn out half bad. I kinda like it. And, the yarn is gorgeous.
“This month we’re featuring two half-skeins of luxurious yarns from Canadian dyer Julie Asselin, both dyed in the same color. Fino is a sumptuous blend of Merino wool, silk, and cashmere, while Anatolia is a lighter-than-air blend of silk and mohair. You’ll find one of three brand new as-yet unnamed colors in your box – a deep and rich blue, a pearly-grey purple, or a luminous gold.” ($24.99)
We received the deep blue color. The Anatolia silk and Mohair blend was lighter than air and very soft.
The Fino was my favorite of the two. It was smooth, soft and a gorgeous color of deep blueish purple. It would make a lovely pair of socks!
Yarn Crush monthly subscription box is a great value (the total retail value of this month’s box was $52.94-56.94). And, a great way to try out those high-end yarns that you usually just drool over. And, the notebook that was the bonus item in this month’s box was the coolest thing. It’s in my “take everywhere with me” crochet bag!
