Huh!!

 I showed you this a couple of days ago, but there is more to the story of this yarn.

These balls of yarn are big and that's one of the reasons I buy them.  I can knit a few things up from these.  There are about 407 yards to each one.  I buy them at Michaels when they are on sale.  This one is "oyster".

I figured that I could make up a baby blanket that would fit over a child in their car seat.  I started knitting and kept track of the ball of yarn.  I thought -- I can do this!!  I dropped 4 rows - just because - and then this happened.

I thought -- no problem.  There were lots at the store when I got this one so I went online and looked for it.  

Sold Out!!  

Checked other stores -- sold out

Sooooooooooooo

I called my local store.

Can you believe these are seasonal balls of yarn????

I knit all year. 

I don't have a season!

Anyway, after my conversation I went back online.  

Well, lookie, lookie, 

they have them in the warehouse.

So I ordered one and then figured while I'm here I'll just get the other two balls I need.

It was shipped from Lethbridge, AB and it arrived on a Monday that had the most perfect weather.  20*C on the back deck

 I grabbed the knitting bag,

and finished in a short period of time.

The little blanket that works well in a baby car seat

Now what to do with the rest of it.

I'm on the hunt!
