It's been awhile

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I have posted..........I have been getting into my crochet world.........Since the last time I posted I have purchased a few different kinds of yarn to get the feel of things....I bought a skein of pink, green, brown red heart super saver, was given 4 skeins of red heart classic........I made a afghan for my daughter for her birthday she was so happy for about a day then the pretty lapghan was thrown to the corner of her room not bed mind you but a corner in her room well so much for holding a 8 year old's interest...........I have mixed feelings about this yarn..........great for afghans and bags but not so much wearables I think I like softer yarns...........
..........I purchased some Caron simply soft 4 skeins and 5 balls of some yum( I think thats how it spelled I threw away the lables dumb me) from big lots for a $1.00. combined the two to make a throw for my self I looooooooooove it so much it's very soft and it has some weight, I just made it a tad to small......The verdict on Caron ss I don't like it, it feels funny like it is too soft, but does have great stitch definition.......I made a hat and scarf with it........bought some Mary Maxim Mellowspun love the way it feels and stitches up....Crocheted a hat with it and will make my little ones a hat and scarf set with the navy blue.......as far as acrylic yarns go I like the mm the best........oh and I bought SS heather for a vest I saw
Well I think I'll just make the vest and see how it goes.......
