"I saw this one time before but forgot all about it, so thanks for the reminder! Now I will have to go see exactly how she did it. It makes perfect sense to make a heavy duty plastic bag from a bunch of flimsy ones and now I am thinking gift bags for Christmas. Would that be too tacky?"

"I have never needle felted before but it looks like it's time to learn. This is so cute that I want to make at least a half dozen for the Christmas tree. I think I would put a tiny red nose on at least one, just for fun, and maybe some yarn harness."

"I love the color choice of yarn used for this wreath. It has a fresh look of summer and the starfish motifs are just perfect to top it off."

"I like the snowman Tshirts. I really am looking for ideas for a table setting as I do a Christmas snowman theme."

"Oh my goodness! Aren't these Halloween decorations adorable. I can just see the neighborhood kids eating these up! The monster, jack-o-lantern and skull certainly do call for trick-or-treaters in our area. And the supplies are soooo reasonable...medium density fiber board, black hot glue, paint, ribbon and screws. If I had another pole I just might add a black cat!"

Paintbox Yarns Baby DK Yarn

Some of the yarns from LoveKnitting I've had a chance to work with before, but Baby DK yarn from Paintbox Yarns is a must-have whether you’ve worked with it before or not. Baby DK is super soft and sure to be approved by any newborn wrapped in this.

Baby DK is a soft blend of 55% nylon and 45% acrylic in an adorable paintbox of colors from delicates to bold brights. Colors range in shades like blush pink, bubblegum, dusty lilac, mint green, slate grey, midnight blue and evergreen. This really is the perfect yarn to be able to pick your own palette; mix and match colors or stick with one color for a solid piece; there are over 20 fabulous colors to choose from.

With its tough durability, Baby DK will wear, wash and last for many years as each piece is passed down from sibling to sibling. Knit or crochet blankets, sweaters, baby hats, accessories and even nursery items like stuffed animals or decorative pillows. I can just imagine the pastel colors hanging over baby's crib as a mobile to lull baby to sleep. This yarn works up easily and evenly, so you will have some fabulous new items once baby comes.

If you end up making a soft blankie for baby to love on then there's no doubt it'll have to get washed often. Luckily this yarn is strong enough to uphold going through the washing machine, or you can take it to the drycleaners. Everything you work up with this yarn should be laid flat to dry, so it'll last. And trust me, with yarn this amazing you’ll want your projects to last.
