Cotton Too!

Lest you think that this contest is all about the wool, think again! We've got yer cotton right here.

This is "Sock" ... no wait ... "Sockotta." That's it, Sockotta. It's made by Plymouth, the nice people who also brought you Thanksgiving. It's 45% cotton, 40% superwash wool and 15% nylon. 414 yards of purple, black and white FUN. I bought it from Full Thread Ahead, which is where the Harlot touched down when she came to the Bay Area. So you could say that this yarn is famous by association.

Look, an acrylic baby blanket.

OK, enough trashing of the acrylic (how about that SHINE?). This will eventually by a Thermal Stitch Preemie Blanket. It's *supposed* to look like those thermal undershirts that people in cold climates (like Canada) wear. Now granted I'm using a J hook instead of an I like the pattern calls for but it's still got a lotta holes. Which you can't see, because I'm the world's worst photographer. Perhaps it's supposed to look like a thermal undershirt someone in California would wear. It which case, it's all good.

No, I'm not having a baby. And no, I don't know anyone that's having a baby. I make these for Project Linus. You know Project Linus, right? Well if you don't, clicky on the linky. I just make 'em so I can refer to myself as April The Blanketeer. That's what you get to call yourself if you make blankets for PL. I'm thinking of having business cards made up.
