It's Yarn Shopping Day

United States

Happy Tuesday Everyone! ahhh what a beautiful morning here in my little corner of the myLot world. I have my windows open and it's going to be a really nice day. My daughter arrived at her work conference destination yesterday and the traffic made her trip a long 6 hour ride. By the time she got there she was starving and exhausted. Today starts all the work related stuff so I probably won't hear from her until this evening. My older daughter and I are taking a ride to Hobby Lobby this afternoon and I'm going to be yarn shopping while she is looking for her supplies she needs for her Etsy orders. Yarn is on sale this week so I'm looking to add some new colors to my cotton dishcloths that I've been making. The red ones are doing well so I'll be stocking up on red but need some ideas for other colors. Any suggestions? What colors do you think are popular for kitchens/bathrooms?

How fun for you two. Speaking of Etsy. I was looking on their site for something for my grandson for his birthday next month and came across a cute t-shirt. It says on it "My needs are simple" and then it shows icons of a Nintendo switch, a cat and a cookie. So, his games, his cats and a snack is all he needs. I thought it was cute and hope he does. Have a good day.

If you ever do any dishcloths with flamingoes, let me know. I’ll be buying! I’d like to see you on yarn shopping day; I bet it gets crazy.

I am sure that you cannot wait to go shopping at Hobby Lobby. I have noticed that most kitchens here are in light earth tones, same for the bathrooms.

a lovely morning right there, open window is wow...glad your daughter made it safe even tho that drive sounds exhausting, hope her conference goes well. for colors maybe try sage green or a soft yellow, those seem to do really well in kitchens lately.

Are the dish towels bought and then the handle is made with yarn and a button to hold it on a stove handle for example?

As it's close to Halloween maybe purple and orange. I thankfully had a shade of beige buried as I needed a skin tone color.

We need a replacement for 'kid in a toyshop'. How about 'Marilyn in a yarn shop'? Have fun.

Colors for kitchens and bathrooms that I would like would be either tan or light brown.
