I got another set of stitch markers today. squee! exciting as that is though, that’s not the full reason for the happy dance. I was in JoAnne’s getting another ball of Bellissimo for the legwarmer-in-progress and stumbled on the new ‘Super Size’ Sugar n Cream cottons. grabbed a blue one (Cornflower, to be exact), and hoped that it might match. got home, and YES it does. oh, I should probably mention what it is I’m trying to match. did I ever post about starting a tank top for Lilin from the More Paintbox Knits book? like, a month or so ago? the one I started with yarn from a Target knitting kit. yeah, that one. honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what’s included in the kit. (I tried looking to see if the yarn was made in Canada, but it doesn’t say.) so yeah, if you’re using one of the Target kits’ yarn for something other than what it’s kitted for, and it’s 100% cotton, try matching it to the Sugar n Cream cottons.
oddly enough, while looking at the info to see if the yarn had an origin, I discovered that the pattern (the boy’s Beanie, Bib, Bootie kit’s, at least) was written by Bernadette St Amant. she teaches classes and stuff at some of the LYS around here (Yarnzilla, Clickety Sticks, and maybe others?). I suppose that makes some sense since Target is based somewhere around here. how cool for her!
