I Love This Yarn

[catsncrochet]

I received my first shipment of I Love This Yarn. I ordered 14 skeins of Ivory last week. Now the only question I have is...which afghan pattern should I use? I'm thinking about using this yarn as an afghan for myself. Something I could work on for a few minutes every day in between Snuggles. I haven't ever made myself anything. I've always given everything I crochet away. Any suggestions on what would be a good pattern?

I think ILTY could lend itself to just about any pattern that calls for worsted weight. You will love working with it, it is very soft!

I REALLY Love that yarn!! I mean a serious addicion to it!!!! I love the seraphina made up with it, so soft and cosy, ANYthing would be perfect with tis yarn!!! Congrats, I have a WIP with it, but mum;s the word, its a pressy....

Me too!! Love this yarn!!! I'm making a baby blanket with it and it just works so easily. LOL!! I just bought 4 skeins of Ivory a week or so ago too! (along with some Antique White and High Sierra Ombre) I'm using the Ivory for the baby blanket... I know it's not really practical for a baby (I don't think) but it was the [first-time] mother's request. 'Nough said...!

Oh...I went back and forth between the Antique White and Ivory numerous times. I took an evening to sleep on it and decided on the Ivory. lol. I also think the Orchid's pretty too.

 

I found a pattern called SusanB's Alternating V Shell Afghan #2. I started it last night and worked on it for a couple hours. It's a quick pattern and it looks good with the Ivory. So far I've completed 6 rows.

 

One of my friends is waiting for her yarn too. I told her about the I Love This Yarn being on sale last week and she ended up getting I think 30 skeins of varied colors.

I have made numerous ghans, rugs, shawls and scarves with this yarn. I love it. I have been using it since it first came out.

 

I made a 2 strand ghan using ILTY and RHSS. I have been using it constantly since I was put on bed rest 4 weeks ago. I noticed the other day that the ILTY was starting to get fuzzy. I threw it in the washer and most of the fuzziness is gone now. This is the first time I noticed any fuzzies on anything I've made with it. Even the rugs that get walked on daily haven't fuzzed. The color that fuzzed was white.

 

I have switched to another 2 strander that has ILTY in it. I am giving this one a good testing, and so far no fuzzies. The color in this one is High Sierra Ombre.

 

Hopefully that was just a fluke and nothing else with ILTY fuzzes up.

[catsncrochet]

Right on. I'll be on the lookout for the fuzzies. I haven't noticed any, but I'm still on my first skein.

 

Now I did notice that there was a couple inch section where the yarn puffed out a little more than the rest of the yarn around it, but I just kept going anyway. I figure it adds to the character of the afghan.

I've never heard of it, where do you get this yarn?

It is Hobby Lobby's brand of yarn. You can get it there and if there isn't a Hobby Lobby near you, you can get it here

I was lucky enough to find a hobby lobby during spring break, and I got a bunch of I Love This Yarn as well...I think I'm going to make a ripple afghan out of mine...unless some other pattern comes along and makes me change my mind! I think I like this yarn so far....very soft!

i went to ohio for the first time with my boyfriend about a week ago. his family lives there so i went there to meet them for the first time. =) i live in new jersey and we don't have any hobby lobby's around here. i fell in LOVE with the store. i totally wanted to move there just because of that store. and that yarn!!! i can't wait to go back and get some, i ended up getting some fancy crochet hooks and nylon thread this time. =D

My Mother and I can't stop when we work with this yarn, because that's what we keep saying as we with it, "I Love This Yarn"!

[kazily]

I love this yarn too! It's wonderful to work with & so soft. I am working on a bag & an afghan using it.

Regarding ILTY...well, I love this yarn. I finished a Bobboletta several weeks ago (I've been meaning to share a picture of it) with the peach color, and it turned out real nice.

 

I'm going to make an afghan for my nephew's wedding..in six months.
