Caron Cake Craze
So I have seen many, many photos of you yarn collectors who also ran out to buy this fun yarn. Have you picked out a project yet? Don't let this one gather dust! It is such a dream to work with so grab your hooks and get busy!
Free Patterns ideas to get you started hooking your new yarn.
- Virus Shawl - this super popular shawl is perfect for the color changes in this soft yarn.
- Virus Blanket - another popular design is always popping up. Paid Pattern.
- Pineapple Peacock Shawl - see the example done by one of our Crochet Crowders.
- Mile A Minute Baby Afghan - just make your strips longer for a full-sized blanket.
- Squared Diamond Granny Throw - any granny design would be fun with this yarn.
- Road Trip Scarf - a fast and easy design to make.
- Chunky Ribbed Cowl - try a K hook with this yarn, a few more starting chains for this one, and you will get a nice drape on this cowl.
- Tranquil Waves Ripple Blanket - let the colors flow through this pretty project.
- Southern Diamonds Baby Blanket - beautiful stitches with diagrams to guide you along.
- Corner to Corner Puff Stitch Blanket - just a bit different than the usual C2C.
- Corner to Corner Baby Blanket - the border on this one caught my eye.

Hi! Right on!!! Caron Cakes Craze!!!
I must say that I don't run out and buy the newest yarn bobble or yarn just because it's new! My husband will say I have more yarn than i will ever use in my life time...I laugh!!! HA!!
I love looking at all of Mickey's yarn!! Like so many of us, just being able to look at the beautiful mix of colors and different fibers makes me happy from the inside out!! Sometimes just going in my craft room and looking at yarn makes me feel better!! I digress...
So, I have to admit that the excitement of everyone at crochet crowd, sending in pictures and telling all of us about caron cakes, was... invigorating...Ooo! AND I just wanted to be part of it!! So my husband, instead of getting something to eat for supper, after our late nite saturday grocery shopping, took me to Michaels!! Woohoo!! So I could get them while still on sale!! PS...I made him a late nite supper when we got home.
How can it be bad if it makes us feel so good!! Can't wait to start on those cakes!! Christmas presents here I come!! By the way...my very favoritest yarn...
Bernat Blanket!!....well then again..... :)......ha ha ha
Thank you all at crochet crowd!!
Just Another Lost Soul you have saved!!!!
