While completing a final inventory for my new website launch, I discovered some discontinued yarns that I had in stock of which I was unaware. This yarn has been discontinued and not available anywhere. I found one lonely skein. Since it is a multi, there is no dye lot. So, it will match that project where you ran out of that yarn. Red Heart Super Saver Painted Desert - 1 skein - $5.00
Respond to this post of send me a message and we'll get that skein to you!!!

As a crochet teacher, I have folks that come to me with projects that have become what I call the "great blanket pyramid." It starts out the right size but with every succeeding row, it gets smaller and smaller making it look like a "pyramid" instead of a square. Here is a simple solution to a seemingly tough problem. The reason your project is becoming a pyramid is because you are missing crocheting into the last stitch (which is the beginning chain on your previous row). When you come to your turning chain from the previous row, the top of the chain seems to disappear and you can't tell that you haven't crocheted into it. Solution: When making your turning chain, place a stitch marker into the top of the chain. When you come to the end of your next row, you will find the stitch marker in the top of your chain and you will know where to put your last stitch thus avoiding the decreasing of stitches and accidentally creating the "Great Blanket Pyramid."
Hope this was helpful to someone starting out and having this problem. Post questions for any issues you may be having and let's see if we can find your solution.

Spongebob Squarepants by Peggy Harris, on Flickr Here's one of my latest custom projects. It took a week to complete. The body itself before it was folded over was 36" long. Whew! What a blast!

Although Red Heart has softened up it's Super Saver yarn of late, it is still not the softest yarn on the ol' yarn shelf. I found this AWESOME procedure for softening up that scratchy Super Saver at Katie Stevens' Craft Sauce blog on Blogger. I am going to post the procedure but here's the link if you'd like to view her entire blog post. Katie Stevens' Craft Sauce Blog
Step 1: Rinse in cold water
Step 2: Shampoo thoroughly, rinse twice
Step 3: Working in sections, saturate entire piece with hair conditioner
Step 4: Let sit in cool water for over an hour
Step 5: Rinse thoroughly.
Step 6: Run it through the lightest wash cycle your washer machine can accomplish. Detergent is ok here as long as it is a small amount
Step 7: Put it in the dryer. You can use dryer sheets if you want. Dry until slightly damp. Take out and block and let air dry the rest of the way.
That's it, you're done! You'll be surprised by how soft and pleasant this yarn can become. I've also heard that the more you wash it, the softer it gets.
I used cheapo shampoo and conditioner because that's what I had on hand, so don't worry if you don't have fancy hair stuff.
Hope this helps bring some "face rubbing" softeness to that stash of stiff yarns you've got squirreled away.

Bernat has discontinued it's Bamboo Natural Blends line, all colors. If you have any of this yarn and you are willing to part with it, please post it in the "I've Got Yer Yarn Right He-ah" Board. I have had MANY inquiries and actual sales of this yarn and folks are really desperate for it. Thanks, Peg

I just LOVE these coasters. They are so cute. I found them on AllFreeCrochet.com but they originated at the site www.1dogwoof.com. I will definitely be making some of these. They are great!

Hi and Welcome to Peg's Yarn Barn Forum. I have only a few short do's and don'ts for the forum.
1. Please...no profanity or inappropriate materials whatsoever here. We are a clean, family oriented site and I know that there are always words to substitute for bad language. Anyone using profanity on the boards will have one warning only before access will be denied.
2. It is imperative that any and ALL patterns or projects listed or shared here be given credit to the original designer. Being a designer myself, I understand the hard work and time that goes into creating an original pattern. Designers DESERVE to be recognized for their work. Not only it is empowering, it is fun for folks to know whose talent went into creating the awesome patterns we'll be sharing. If you have a pattern to share and you're not sure who created it, do a little online research and I'm sure you'll find out the source of the creation. If you just can't seem to find it, PM me with the details and I will do my best to find its originator so you can share.
3. Advertising is allowed and highly encouraged. We WANT people to find you and to help grow your business. Every business is unique and deserves to be recognized. But please,,,,no mass emails or spam. There is a board set up for you to share your wonderful business and what you do. You can also share someone else's business but make sure that you give all the pertinent details so other members can find them.
4. Do not air your personal issues with someone here. Reasonable debate is acceptable but it is NEVER ok to post personal slams or fault finding. The purpose of this board is to have a warm, inviting community of crafters and artists who share and encourage each other. If you feel that someone has communicated with you in an inappropriate way, either in posts or PM's, contact me and we will immediately resolve it. Remember...POSITIVE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE!!!
5. Lastly, to reinforce our purpose, we are about encouraging and empowering others to share their fantastic journeys in the crafting and fiber arts world. Please do all that's in your power to fulfill this goal by speaking encouragement and positive criticism. It's what truly grows us as artists and crafters! And....HAVE FUN!!
