So yesterday I hunted all over the cities I live near. That means I checked the two craft stores 😉 and was unsuccessful in finding the colors that I was interested in looking at in real life. Color on my screen and color in real life don’t always match. I was glad that I did look though, the Waverly yarn that I found, although not the colors that I was interested in, were all darker than I thought that they were. That prompted me to look for another brand of yarn. And the only brand that I could decide on colors turned out to Redheart Super Saver again. It wasn’t just the color selection, it was that I just could not afford to spend $6 a skein for a different brand. I’m sure that you can understand that.
So, these are the colors that I have chosen: Soft White, Lt. Raspberry, Frosty Green, Petal Pink, Cafe. I just picked up a skein of pink cammo and worked from that because those colors always turn out so pretty. I cheated a bit. Now I’m all ready and I can’t wait for the Bernat Crochet -Along to start.
I also joined the Wooleater CAL with Sarah London. It’s such a cool design that I couldn’t resist. I’ll start that one with scrap yarn.
Since I have so many projects going at once I’ll use my system for keeping them organized. I’ll assign each project a day of the week, I’ll keep one day free for projects that need more or I’m getting behind on. That way I don’t feel overwhelmed or disorganized and I make progress on them all.

I’m all excited now, about the Bernat Crochet Along! Went shopping yesterday, too — no luck in finding the Bernat Waverly yarns. I’ll probably choose from the ‘I Love This Yarn’ or Redheart SuperSavers. That’s what is available to me AND better for my budget!
Your color choices sound lovely!

Sounds like some nice colors. I hope it works out for you. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to try it or not, not sure I can commit to it. I can’t wait to see yours. 🙂
