New yarn, new wip…
Hello there!
This is as promised the new yarn my mom brought for me last Saturday… (thank you mom!)
Weird eh? not my kind of colors 🙂 too soft…too pastels…too light 🙂 but but but you can not imagine my surprise when I touched them…Ohlala it is the softest and smoothest yarn I ever touched in my hole life …. mmmh so tender like a baby’s skin …
It is called Nako Baby… 60% bamboo 40% polyamid (wondering what it is 🙂 )
8 colors including the white one…
mmmh…so? did I tried to crochet with it? or didn’t I? 🙂
This kind of yarn is perfect for baby stuff… and I have plenty of pregnant mothers around me including my own sister…so I decided to start a baby blanket….for a cute little baby 🙂
Ok the colors are too pastels but you can not imagine how beautiful it is to work with …OOOOH totally hooked 🙂 and I did not let it down until 1:00 a.m that night 🙂 trying different patterns until I chose this one …
and I made a lot of progress this week …
I called the square : “daisies baby blanket square” and of course I am gonna post the graphic pattern for you next time 😉
This pattern will turn out wonderful with bright and bold colors too, I am sure…
I am joining the squares with the white color as I go…
I can tell you one thing: I will not work on any other wip before I totally finish this blanket…Because, I just can not come back to my normal acrylic stash after I worked with this wonderful yarn of softness! (I sometimes have strange English sentences 🙂 hehe )
Time to go now! See you next time with the graphic pattern 😉
I hope you liked my new yarn, my new wip and my new square !
Have a wonderful sunshiny week end!

I can just see a little bundle cuddled into this, so beautiful, very very baby.
What yummy yarn that is! I love the pastels and you’re right they are perfect colours for baby things. It will be one lucky baby who receives this treasure.
Oh that baby yarn from Nako is super. I have bought a few balls when I was in Istanbul. It’s really soft and yummy. So jealous that you can get your hands on it… I better get back to Istanbul 😉

ooh I can almost feel how soft it is!! and I love the colours even if they are too light for you. The blanket’s looking good!! And a good idea to join as you go. Still haven’t tried that yet.
Oooh, that yarn looks so soft. Lucky baby 🙂 I love the pattern too – can’t wait to have a go!

Hi Angie! That yarn looks beautiful and not at all too pastel! I love pastels as the bright colours, too!
Your square pattern looks great and it will make lovely blanket for a baby or anyone!
Have a lovely crocheting!

so sweet!
I always love to see what you are making and this blanket looks gorgeous…
Yes, these colors certainly are different from what you normally work with. However, you have worked your magic and have made something so beautiful–all those pastel squares look like candy. You could call this a “Candy Blanket.”
OHHHHH i love the yarn the colours are so sweet like marsh mallows & candy floss & the pattern……… its gorgeous, it’ll be a beautiful blanket 🙂

I wish I could get my hands on this yarn-it looks so yummy and soft. I am up to my neck in making baby things for co-worker gifts while 2 of my nearly finished sweaters sit and wait for me!
p.s.
your english sentences are just swell!
LOL I thought I was reading the wrong blog! How strange to see these colours here. But again you are making something beautiful. I love this block; it’s perfect for these colours.
Have a nice weekend,
Dorien
I love it!! I am a sucker for pastels and those are just too beautiful! Please post that graphic soon…I want to make this!
Agree with Pauline, I can almost feel how soft it is just looking at the pics of that yarn!
Gorgeous work as usual 🙂
Not sure if this is the right place to put it but I passed an award onto you in my blog here:

Love reading about your crochet and the inspiring pictures!
LOVE the yarn and the new blanket – can’t wait for the pattern so I can try one of my own – thank you so much for sharing! 😀
So soft looking. wish I could get this yarn in the states.
Wonderful as usual.
Very nice the colors and the granny square too. Kisses from Argentina. I wait the pattern, please. Your graphics are so clear. Sorry for my bad english.
Woooooa! Gorgeous!
gorgeous! I love the soft pastels. Bamboo is so soft and pleasant to work with
Soft like sherbert!
The colour of the yarns look better when you have crocheted them into the squares and aren’t they yummy. Of course it is the way you have combined them! Someone is going to have a very special blanket.
I just found your lovely blog and i sit here just saying wow what awonderful, colourful blog! I love all those gorgious things you have crocheted!At the moment I’m working on a crochet bunting but i’m going to get some yarn and make a lvely cushion from one of the patterns I have seen on your blog.
Have a lovely weekend.
Your blanket is gorgeous! I think the pastels are perfect for a baby, because they can be for either a boy or a girl. I do like bamboo yarn.
Just sooooo pretty it looks so soft and cuddly
What a lovely yarn and a lovely pattern. I’ve just finished crocheting a baby blanket in cotton yarn using a similar pattern but with a flower on top. I will put a pic soon on flickr if you want to have a look. I love the colours!! Have a lovely bank holiday weekend! x Pati
