New yarn, new wip…

By

Hello there!

This is as promised the new yarn my mom brought for me last Saturday… (thank you mom!)

Weird eh? not my kind of colors πŸ™‚ too soft…too pastels…too light πŸ™‚ but but but you can not imagine my surprise when I touched them…OhlalaΒ  it is the softest and smoothest yarn I ever touched in my hole life …. mmmh so tender like a baby’s skin …

It is called Nako Baby… 60% bamboo 40% polyamid (wondering what it is πŸ™‚ )

8 colors including the white one…

mmmh…so? did I tried to crochet with it? or didn’t I? πŸ™‚

This kind of yarn is perfect for baby stuff… and I have plenty of pregnant mothers around me including my own sister…so I decided to start a baby blanket….for a cute little baby πŸ™‚

Ok the colors are too pastels but you can not imagine how beautiful it is to work with …OOOOH totally hooked πŸ™‚ and I did not let it down until 1:00 a.m that night πŸ™‚ trying different patterns until I chose this one …

and I made a lot of progress this week …

I called the square : “daisies baby blanket square” and of course I am gonna post the graphic pattern for you next time πŸ˜‰

This pattern will turn out wonderful with bright and bold colors too, I am sure…

I am joining the squares with the white color as I go…

I can tell you one thing: I will not work on any other wip before I totally finish this blanket…Because, I just can not come back to my normal acrylic stash after I worked with this wonderful yarn of softness! (I sometimes have strange English sentences πŸ™‚ hehe )

Time to go now! See you next time with the graphic pattern πŸ˜‰

I hope you liked my new yarn, my new wip and my new square !

Have a wonderful sunshiny week end!

    What yummy yarn that is! I love the pastels and you’re right they are perfect colours for baby things. It will be one lucky baby who receives this treasure.

    Oh that baby yarn from Nako is super. I have bought a few balls when I was in Istanbul. It’s really soft and yummy. So jealous that you can get your hands on it… I better get back to Istanbul πŸ˜‰

    Yes, these colors certainly are different from what you normally work with. However, you have worked your magic and have made something so beautiful–all those pastel squares look like candy. You could call this a “Candy Blanket.”

    I wish I could get my hands on this yarn-it looks so yummy and soft. I am up to my neck in making baby things for co-worker gifts while 2 of my nearly finished sweaters sit and wait for me!
    p.s.
    your english sentences are just swell!

    gorgeous! I love the soft pastels. Bamboo is so soft and pleasant to work with

    The colour of the yarns look better when you have crocheted them into the squares and aren’t they yummy. Of course it is the way you have combined them! Someone is going to have a very special blanket.

I love all those gorgious things you have crocheted!At the moment I’m working on a crochet bunting but i’m going to get some yarn and make a lvely cushion from one of the patterns I have seen on your blog.

    Your blanket is gorgeous! I think the pastels are perfect for a baby, because they can be for either a boy or a girl. I do like bamboo yarn.

    What a lovely yarn and a lovely pattern. I’ve just finished crocheting a baby blanket in cotton yarn using a similar pattern but with a flower on top. I will put a pic soon on flickr if you want to have a look. I love the colours!! Have a lovely bank holiday weekend! x Pati
