Pattern: Twinkle Point Baby Blanket

Started: 22 July 2023

Completed: 25 July 2023

For: yarn test/ table decorations

Hook: G / 4.25mm

Yarn: Herrschners Baby Cotton Twist - 2 skeins - sunny colorway

Size: 17" point to point

Notes:

Yarn held double - I tested single a few timeswith different hooks. Didn't really want 2 thinner placemats though.
Overall - yarn soft, strong, color vivid. Would be great for baby clothes or a lightweight summer blanket/shawl.
Pattern - I should use one like this to make a half circle sometime.

Pattern: center out DC circle with the increases being FPDC

Started: 09 July 2023

Completed: 11 July 2023

For: yarn test - and then the yarn was discontinued.

Hook: N (K was recommended but it wasn't working well, I usually have to go up anyway)

Yarn: Lion Brand Twisted Cotton Blend - coral

Size: 12" diameter

Notes: As the yarn was discontinued after I bought it, I mostly continued with the yarn test to use it up. I should remember for future reference that nubbly yarns, esp those that are heathered or multicolored, should have a very plain pattern. I had tried a couple placemat patterns and just weren't working out.

Anyway, this is done, out of the bin, and it's a decent placemat size at least. I may put it under the teapot.

dish scrubby with scalloped edges in pink purple green and white yarn

Pattern: same as all of my other scrubbies, decided from now on I should leave off the final row of SC. Doesn't add much.

For: testing this yarn - if it doesn't work I will maybe pair the rest of the skein with dishcloth cotton.

Hook: I/5.50mm

Yarn: Herrschners Suds & Scrub

Notes:

works up easier than the Red Heart Scrubby I've used in the past.
polyester yarn with clear plastic "tinsel".
comes in more colors and in value packs.
dishes test - was fine (maybe not quite as good as RHS, but not significantly) and it also came through the washing machine well.
Makes per skein: 6
