I like the burgundy and blue for the accents to use with the granny square yarns. I would have chosen the same - my Walmart is just like yours.

[@jenniejacobs1138]

The red

[@marandadaniels2066]

If my local Walmart had a yarn aisle like that, it would be an improvement. They literally have 3 small shelves of yarn. 1 for Red Heart Super Saver, 1 for Mainstay yarn, and 1 for mandala ombré. And each shelf has between 3 and 4 different colors. That’s it. I live in a yarn wasteland.

[@rebelangel1164]

Crystal, I remember the Red Heart Butterfly. I came across one skein, partially worked while I was cleaning. I wasn't sure what I was making but knew the color was discontinued. I searched high and low and couldnt find any. I was going through my stash and lo and behold, I found a Butterfly stash, enough for a project! The Lord works in mysterious ways! If I can figure out how to get a pic to you, I will. You made my night as well as my days. Love and health to you and the family. JoAnne

Hey Crystal, you ARE doing it- Idea for the bag yarn...a take off on a Victorian crazy quilt: pick a stitch, work that stitch until the color runs out, switch to a different stitch, even a different direction until that color runs out. Play with entrlac, mosaic, stretch stitches (forgot the name) where you insert rows below, Play. Start new shapes wherever you choose. Sew together even overlapping pieces! What do you think? By the way, Evelyn's current fave colors, bright pink and orange has a 1960s Mod vibe. I salute her!

Spike stitches I think

[@aolster3198]

[@pattisnapsforbeans8212]

That sounds awesome!! I get bored and stuck. I love the idea of changing stitches when the color runs out. Thanks so much!!!

I am in the process of crocheting a white & mint blanket. My next project is to make a canvas bag.

[@EllaNoel-gu1pf]

I wish I was shopping with you. At my Canadian Walmart has hardly any yarn. Ty for showing the different yarn😀

[@Rachel_lyn]

My Walmart in Canada doesn’t have much for yarn either. And I agree that the granny square yarn is too frustrating to make granny squares with. I don’t want to tighten or loosen my stitches to make it work. I think the fabrics for the bags will look really good.

[@Zippythewondersquirrel]

Glad to see someone else that doesn’t care for granny squares. I’m happy that there’s something that can be done with that yarn because the colors are nice.

[@Nikkirut74]

It makes my heart happy whenever I open KZbin and see you there holding up yarn, or sporting a new beanie, or showcasing a new project, or getting ready to open a new mystery pack, etc. Your enthusiasm for all things yarn is contagious. PS....get those plaques hung BOD. We're all so very proud of you. 😊

[@cathymickelson2727]

Ooo... I like the colors you chose for the granny square yarn. I'm a rebel... lol... I like to put unique colors together. Stay with burgundy!

[@stitchaspell]

Love to see how you’re going to make it work! The fabrics are fun with their respective yarns. Good times! 🦋

You, my friend are unstoppable. Nobody can make you stop until you're ready to stop. I look forward to the bag tutorial! Those are my favorite.

[@suesaffel1411]

Never thought of putting the granny square yarn as a variegated. Thanks so much for that idea. You always inspire me in some way.

[@katherineserrano9076]

Like the black and greys with that print for the lining

[@Itsyarntime]

Our Walmart always have the same colors, yarn brand & yes the same price. No granny square yarn though & it doesn’t seem like they’re going to get it. But I can’t help myself to go look in the section😂

[@centsless3787]

If you're looking for the granny square, make sure to check the end caps, I don't think it's gonna be part of the normal set.

[@sueeasley1754]

I made a Mobius shawl, cocoon shrug, and fingerless gloves out of the granny square yarn they turned out pretty. I wore the shrug to church and a lot of the ladies loved it

[@megslilnursery]

My walmart is about the same. I think the burgundy gonna look great with it!! You chose great soilds for all of them honestly. I made a quilt with that rose fabric you was like "oh that's pretty I wish I can sew" ❤

[@debbicarroll7150]

My Walmart pales in comparison to yours Crystal. The Red Heart yarn you bought reminds me of the corn people hang on their doors in the Autumn. The white, orange and pink yarn is beautiful! The fabric you picked matches so nicely. I can’t wait to see the bags you design! You say you aren’t good with colors-I think you do great! I love everything you chose!

[@clbedwell]

The fabrics for all the linings are great for the yarns. You and your did a good job on matching them up. That will all keep you busy for a little bit!!

[@kellyalderfer6430]

I’m glad that you were courageous enough to buy all of the granny square yarn! I bought the dark plum, lavender, crimson, coral, pink, granny color, and have made granny squares out of it. I got 15! I’m just thrilled to see someone with more courage than me try them all out. Can’t wait to see what they turn out like for you!

I love your daughter’s choice and would love to see a tutorial on the bag making and lining. Thank you for all the great tutorials.

Our Walmarts are worse. Yep, I grabbed a bunch of PW's yarn for $3. I hadn't been to Walmart in a while but was checking to see if they had the Itty Bitty Stripes.

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

Hi Crystal, I can’t wait to see what you’re making. Thanks for taking me shopping with y’all. Watching. I love all liners for the bags, I think the one for the newspaper is dead on. I’m not a fan of black liners in my bags bcuz everything gets lost in the black hole. It’s funny you spoke abt making a bucket hat, only this morning I said I hope you make a bucket hat bcuz my teenage niece keeps asking for one. Have a good night my friend. The burgundy is nice for the border. Love the navy also, perfect match.

Excited to see how the bags will turn out. Cant get the RH granny yarn for anything less than AUD$25 per ball here in Australia... luckily though some mill ends of this yarn came through in discount bags. Managed to grab 8 bags for AUD$44... woohoo, lol. Like you am not using to make granny squares.

[@alwayslearning9272]

Oh wow, I did this too with the mill ends bags! At first I wasn't realising that these random colours I was being drawn to were actually the same colours as the all in one granny yarn but then as I saw more and more pop up and then started to see what those colours of the yarn balls were I realised they were the same and it couldn't be a coincidence either, marvelous!! Which colour blends did you get? I'd love to get the one that was green/blue/white/cream but haven't seen a replica of that one yet, still searching. :)

[@alwayslearning9272]

@@itsmesam1967 Absolutely! The cheapest I've seen the mill ends packs for is $6 each, so that's a much cheaper way to get it and a bigger quantity too! I got several of the brown/tan/cream colour blend, one pack of that with the blue added in and then two of the newspaper colours, so lovely! I haven't seen as many around lately so am grateful to have been able to get the ones that I did, but hope they have some of the others soon! I don't like the brighter/gawdier ones as much but at least they seem to have a good amount to choose from, when they're well stocked!
