I am so excited for this MAL! I have some yarn that was gifted to me when my dog died at the end of April, it was a loving and thoughtful gift intended to make me smile - and it worked. It is a four pack of fingering weight yarn in different shades of purple. This make along is coming at a good time because my aunt passed away unexpectedly Thursday night and I am a sad sack right now. The yarn is special to me. I am going to make the Just Feel Better Shawl. The timing is right.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That is such a beautiful reason for yarn and so special. I’m so sorry your aunt passed away 😭 sending you all the love

When Noah smiled at the end, he looked so much like Nova's smile. I think those beads are called Perler beads. Another childhood classic. My grandson was playing with Lincoln Logs . I had a set 57 years ago. Good to see that some toys survive. Lots of progress on wips considering your elbow. The doctor could have called your injury dryer elbow. Wounded by your household appliance.😊

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

They do have the same smile especially when they scrunch up their noses 🥰🥰

[@dianadeforest5989]

Hmmmm. I have this special yarn that is special because my son went on vacation to NOLA and found a yarn shop. First time my family bought me yarn. So special. Now I need a pattern. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@guitarraroyala]

Was it the Quarter Stitch? I have been saving some yarn from my NOLA trip too!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That is so fun!! I can’t wait to see what your yarn becomes

[@KKemperCheesebrew]

Oh those cheeks! He is so adorable and I love love loved the baby giggles!!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Baby giggles make everything better!

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Love the sound of your new MAL, I have yarn & a pattern in mind immediately - both in my stash! Mr Cheeks has the best laugh! 😆

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

He does have the best laugh 🥰🥰

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Your memories blanket is so pretty. Oftentimes, those type blankets don't seem to flow right IMO, but I love yours. It mimics quilting and goes together well. Noah is such a cutie lol.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you! That is exactly the look I’m going for with this blanket - patchwork quilt. And my husband actually likes it which is a miracle lol

[@alisavanrooyen1030]

Oh your darlings bring so much joy! Thank you for sharing him with us. I am going to join the FancyyarnKal...I just broke out my Malabrigo that I've been holding onto for a couple years now...I must say I am happy I did!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oooh malabrigo is just lovely!

[@guitarraroyala]

This MAL seems like a great opportunity to cast on some socks with the yarn I got in Ireland!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

YES! Love this plan!

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

He is so adorable ❤ great WIPs. Can't wait to use some special yarn. The problem is I have so much!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Having so much special yarn is not a problem! It’s the best 😂

[@mercedesdeavila6307]

Ooh, so sorry your elbow is still acting up - hoping for a continued recovery. Wonderful makes - take your time, you don't want to strain 😊 Thank you for inspiring me with the special to me yarn MAL. My daughter brought me some Dale Garn fingering mohair, wool & polymid yarn in 2 colors - gray & maroon, from Norway that I've been saving. I then found some cotton cashmere dk yarn from my LYS in coordinating colors that I'm going to pair it with. I'm thinking of making daisy squares for a throw. Baby Noah is adorable! Hugs!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That yarn sounds absolutely beautiful!

[@melaniecrochets]

The stamps peel & stick onto acrylic blocks. It saves space if you stamp for card making. They are typically made of silicon.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oh that makes sense 😅

[@lacyhorton890]

You can re-melt your bead dolphin that you made with Nova and hot glue a magnet on the back (you could also just hot glue his tail back on too). Then it could be a magnet and it would last a little longer 😉

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Making it a magnet is a fabulous idea!

[@thecraftaholic4223]

I have this yarn by Loops and threads. It’s called facets. Almost like the Noro yarn but cheaper. Its color is “spectrum “ and perfect autumn colors. I’ve been wanting to make a shawl for the coming cold months and I love a challenge because I get bored easy with patterns. So I picked “the spring shawl” by Adriana M. This is my first crochet along ever! ❤

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oooh that sounds lovely! Especially in autumnal colors 🥳

[@louisewall7100]

I’m going away on holiday in a couple of days. I will definitely look in my stash when I get home xx

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I’m sure there is something lovely hiding in your stash!

[@lisamcclure8770]

It's always so nice to see Noah. The Mal sounds great. But I am embroidering on quilt blocks. I have seven or eight left. Take care sounds like everything is a little better. Take care.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds so fun!!

[@denisel4366]

Ohhh, that pattern is in my cart on Ravelry. Hmm guess I will purchase the pattern and go shopping in my secret stash. Lots of oohing and hmmming going on here.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Yay! That makes me so happy 🥰

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

Elbow pain is no joke for real! I am think I am going to use my Scheepjes yarn that I bought on my last vacation. I love it and I have been so precious about. Hi Noah:)

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oooh that’s such a special yarn! I can’t wait to see what it becomes 🥰

[@glorias3838]

Add a Nova update next time too. Good to see you both.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

🥰🥰🥰

[@jeanburby6492]

This summer I brought a skein of yarn that reminds me of the ocean or lake and I want to make aaa shawl with it for the Fancy Yarn MAL.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds absolutely lovely!

[@jackielubeck]

Hi Hannah - wow he looks fabulous and just like Nova....! Glad things are going well with you. I now live full time in Amsterdam. All is good. Getting worried re the election. Will vote from here. KH. Slowly finding out who's who on YT. Have to find a pattern for some crazy thick yarn, no idea what to make. It's that yarn that you cannot rip out so ??? OK. Hi to all the family. Hope to meet you one day in FL.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Hmm crazy thick yarn . I always have trouble finding things to make with that kind of yarn too!

[@kbjazzfan]

Neighborhood Fiber Co. dyed a special edition "Michelle Obama" colorway in 2020. I need to use that. It's so pretty and deserves to be worked up. I also have some white mohair...maybe I'll do the Cirrus shawl, too, that would be so pretty.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds absolutely lovely!

[@Quiltmama31]

I am going to use Yarn Art Rosegarden. I ordered it from Vilrita. It is the only yarn I have from Lithuania.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds amazing!

[@NataliesCloset]

Hi Hannah...I'm not part of Ravelry but I would like to enter, will it work if I give the info in here, although won'tbe able to post pictures? I have 2 hanks of yarn that I got earlier this month from The Yarn Byrd truck "Birdie", when at the Michigan Fiber Festival. The reason we got them was because of the whole experience of our first time at a fiber festival, our first time on Yarn Trucks & because they were named after astrological signs so had to get mine & Mr. Boyfriends. He and I talked about this MAL as well as what we'd like to make from this special, as well as hand dyed, yarn and since it's not a colorway he'd be likely to wear a wearable out of & we got it so we can make something for both of us to use, we decided that we would like it to be part of a blanket for ourselves, likely a lapghan, but what I'll do is hold both strands together (fingering weight individually) and will go thru my extensive hand dyed stash to find colorways to work with it as well as contrasting and/or bright colors for the border. I'm really excited about this MAL, thanks for creating it, but am hoping I'll be able to finish it by the end of, oh wait, did you say Nov or Oct? Well with as many craft shows I have planned I'm still hoping but keeping fi gers crossed that I will. All of your makes are awesome & just saying he has the most precious smile! Have a great night!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds absolutely beautiful! The mal will run until the end of November, but you don’t have to finish your project to be eligible to win! If you don’t have Ravelry you can tag me on instagram in your posts too 🥰

[@CrochetKrisMI]

Elbow - I had the same thing as you and ended up having to go to PT for it after 6 months of doing the Dr. recommended exercises. They used something like ultrasound therapy on it which REALLY helped. Might that be an option? I have some ideas for my fancy yarn - I have a couple of skeins of Yak-silk lace from Expression Fiber Arts that I am dying to use, but I don't what to do with it. I have never used lace weight yarn before. Or I have 3 skeins of Reef DK yarn by Sea Turtle Fiber Arts. Not enough for a top, so I have been holding on to them trying to find the right project.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oooh yak silk lace sounds AMAZING! I will keep ultrasound therapy in mind for if this keeps not getting better!

[@susankelsey-brewton1023]

Where did you get the stitch markers with the sneakers?

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

It was a gift so I don’t know who made it!

[@egoreknits]

If you or anyone you know has a boppy or any breast feeding pillow that you can borrow that might help your elbow so you can work on projects.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I have my own boppy! I still use it under my arm to rock the baby to sleep 🥰 but on the couch I have some pillows I prop my elbow up on
