The Yarn Barn Co

Another blanket done and dusted, ready to be posted to its new owner. A wonderful sage green tone to match the nursery. Definitely a winter blanket as it weighs nearly 2kg.

Braided crochet blanket by Caron

chunky in pistachio green. One of my favourite brands to work with as there are so many colours!!

It’s been a long time since I posted any makes on here!! It’s now time for return of the bunny!!

So it’s been a busy few months since I started a new job and I haven’t had that much time to spending crafting.

I have now finished this gorgeous blanket and wanted to know if anyone would be interested in buying it? It’s about 1.3m square with a gorgeous textured feel. Really warm to snuggle under and a cool colour palette of white, beige, aqua and navy blue.

£45 and I can try to get it to you before Christmas so ideal for a last minute pressie

So pleased to have been able to gift this one today.

It’s been sat on the shelf for a few weeks waiting for today. It’s been the first time I’ve seen (in real life) in about a year and I was glad I got to see her reaction to unwrapping it.

Thanks for the pattern for this.

Is there anything that brings more joy than making something for someone as a gift, even more when it’s a surprise.

Granny square blanket in these gorgeous pastel shades ready for little ones arrival

Easter is only a few weeks away and I’m feeling creative. If I happened to make these three little ones, would any be interested in them as gifts?

They’re about 30cm tall so pretty big. £15 each?

Another granny squares blanket finished. This one is for me and is so snuggly and warm. Enjoyed being curled up under it last night and there is nothing better in my mind on a cold winters evening.

80 squares in total joined with a zigzag slip stitch and herringbone half treble border in
Simply Adam.

Measures 125cm x 160cm (49x 62 inches) including the border.

If you’re interested in getting one for yourself, price is £65 but totally worth it in my view. Can amended colours and make bigger/smaller but prices will change.

This gorgeous little blanket has been safely delivered today ahead of baby arriving in a few weeks

Love the colours in this and thankfully they match the nursery too.

Simply Aran in colours:
202 - Champagne White
203 - Misty Grey
236 - Dolphin Blue
235 - Duck Egg Blue
231 - Seafoam Blue

Granny squares with a zigzag slip stitch to join and DC border, 2 rounds in grey and then one of each colour.

Another blanket posted and delivered to its new home.

This was a mammoth blanket to make - 20 squares and 10 different textures. Super toasty and thick though so perfect for its new home in the art studio.

Yarn by WI Aran Premium in Light grey.

With the start of a new week, months and year it’s got me thinking about what to make!! For the first time in a very long time, I haven’t got anything being worked on. 🧶

With a few of my friends expecting little ones, it’s the return of the baby blanket!! 👶

The hardest part was choosing colours - so many I’d love to use from the store so I’ve decided on these gorgeous shades.

What are you favourite colours for woollen blankets?

Why does this sound so familiar?! Anyone that knows me and has seen the inside of my flat knows how much I love yarn. Have loads of the stuff but there’s always room for more!!

Who doesn’t love a gift to yourself???🎁

I saw this on Amazon.co.uk the other day and thought ‘why not? Maybe there are some cute ideas for toys?’ Evidently there were!!!

I always find it hard to pick why to make next and if anyone would even be interested. Still, I have a blanket which still needs a lot of work on it. Maybe I’ll just continue to daydream for a bit longer.... 😌

Had a great time creating this little fellow for my Auntie Pat. As you can see, I was curled up on the sofa with a ‘fireplace’ and Michael Buble in the background.

He’s not going to be for sale though as I’ve got a few projects on the go at the moment.

On a weekend that looks as miserable as this one does, I like to snuggle up in my armchair and craft. There are a few projects on the go so I’ll be busy.

There are so many advantages to taking some time for yourself:

🧶calming the mind
🧶keeping your hands active
🧶stimulating the brain

This is what I do to look after myself and hopefully you all enjoy the fruits of my labour.
