And those who pull the end of the yarn from the inside of the skein- what I'd call an Innie.
Before this turns into the great over or under toilet paper debate, I will stay on neutral ground and say that either method is correct. The advantage of using yarn from the outside is that the end is definitely easier to find. The disadvantage is that when you pull on the thread, there is a tendency for the skein to roll off and travel across the room.
Using the yarn from the inside is a bit trickier because you have to stick your fingers in and find the little ball where the end is tucked. It's sort of like taking out the bag of turkey giblets stuffed inside the bird. But the advantage is the outside stays neat and you can keep the yarn label on.
At any rate, I was inspired to start a new crochet project and my colors were inspired from this swatch of fabric from Lecien. I think it's from the Flower Sugar collection. Love, love, love!
So, here's the yarn I gathered together. They're from Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Don't you agree they're yum, yum, yum?
I couldn't wait to get started and I chose to go with an easy Granny Stripe pattern. You can find the pattern here. I love Lucy of Attic 24!
Here is what I've made so far. I can't wait to finish this.
Speaking of finishing things, I'm almost done quilting my Abundance quilt. Will post photos soon!
