You have to be in it to win it girls

Then come back and see how much fun I have had with this fabulous 
pack of 10 x 50g balls of special


I have teased you with a few samples over the last few days...
but what did I actually make with the Limited Edition pack?

I hope you don't think its over kill, but I loved the colours you all picked so much I just couldn't stop....
All the colours work beautifully together
 or you could add a couple of colours like spice and magenta and a purple shade
or split the pack into two colour groups

I, like you, have all been saying...we want them all in the fabulous 
Stylecraft Special range...please Stylecraft

Weights
Each item is only a few grams in weight so most can be made in a few hours.....

I LOVE THE PACK
 and struggled to decide on what would be the best project...
I couldn't pick one over the other so over the next few weeks
 I will share
 all of the patterns with you..

Exotic flowers and a granny flower or two..

could be added as a decoration or joined together to make a blanket...

I'm calling this one 

Chrysanthemum 

its my version of the Suffolk Puff 

a small double layered puff that gives a wonderful warm motif....

personally I like the colours mixed with Charcoal or Oatmeal Life best black was to harsh, and cream too in your face....grey works too

The pack mixed with a back ground colour would make a great Chrysanthemum Blanket

weight would be approximately 845g and measure 39" 100cm square
this collage has a couple of extra colours in it...

a stool pad 190g

A Shopper 190g

This side of the shopper has a couple of extra colours added...but the other side is just the pack

Love my shopper had lots of compliments already

chrysanthemum shopper 190g

A Chrysanthemum Bag it was

but there was lots left over...so a mini purse to go with it

I was having so much fun with this pack and there was still lots left over.

I gave myself a couple of hours every morning to enjoy this lovely yarn pack

I made buttons a couple of grams each 

Jewellery, cowls, mittens, a beret from my new book 

Beret 74g

and lots more

and still lots left...

mittens 52g 

by adding a couple of balls of Charcoal grey and Oatmeal life it went a very long way

Cowl 52-68g phone bag 38g...I never know where my phone is...i do now!

flower scarf...65g just had to do something flowery

and still lots left...beads 40g, to go with the purse 38g

Tempted yet to try to win 

THE LIMITED EDITION YARN PACK?

then I was thinking Christmas presents, this pack would make lots of Christmas presents

Snuggly bed socks 65g

always a great present

Make a matching pair, go mad with stripes or make a pretty, delicate,

 one, colour pair with the duck egg maybe?

so out of a single pack...All the Christmas presents you could want.
