Last month during the city-wide yard sale, I was on a yarn hunt. I was looking for all colors and types, as long as it was a good deal.

I was in luck and found some yarn at a few different sales. I spent an evening untangling and rolling all of the yarn into balls. There were little bits, and not quite enough for just one project. I decided to combine them all together, and make a messy blanket for the downstairs.

I ran through all of the thrifted yarn quickly. I added in a few odds and ends from my stash on the craft table.

I picked up a few skeins of yarn to add to the blanket too.

I’ve kept the blanket downstairs and worked on it whenever I had a few minutes.

This weekend I got it finished.

This blanket was extra quick to make, and fun to crochet too. All of the different types of yarn came together beautifully, and I already have plans to make a second one for upstairs.

The blanket ended up being the length of the couch, and it is warm, and oh so cozy.

The messy blanket is perfect for these cold KS nights.

Now that this one is done, I really need to get back to making that final Christmas blanket… Better get to it.
