Finished Projects

Pamela starts by showing off a couple of finished projects. The first one is a cute Candy Corn Cat, complete with whiskers and a curved tail. She also shares a project from her Spooktacular Crochet kit, featuring a little candy corn character. Pamela discusses the vibrant colors she used and her satisfaction with the finished products.

Candy Corn Cat

Pamela provides details about the Candy Corn Cat pattern and mentions the slight variation she encountered in the tail's shape.

Baby Booties and Hat

Moving on to her next finished project, Pamela reveals a set of baby booties and a hat. She divulges her thought process behind keeping the design simple to complement the blanket they will accompany. Pamela mentions her initial plan to add pom-poms and additional embellishments but opted for a more understated look. Her rationale lies in the desire to focus attention on the baby and the blanket itself.

Mary Maxim Afghan Kit

Pamela introduces the Mary Maxim Afghan Kit, which she received as part of her quarterly subscription. She humorously notes that both kits she received so far featured green tones, making her wonder if she needs to develop a newfound appreciation for green afghans. Despite her cheeky comment, Pamela expresses her genuine fondness for the yarn quality and reveals its significant size.

Bag-All-Day Poncho

For her next project, Pamela shares a work-in-progress that she is creating for a lady at her church. It is the Bag-All-Day Poncho, a quick and easy pattern she recently made for herself. She comments on the tie-dye appearance of the poncho's color scheme and praises the brightness of the Red Heart Colorscape yarn used.

Premier Couture Home Yarn

Pamela presents a Premier Couture Home yarn she received in her Mary Maxim Afghan Kit. Intrigued by its large size, she admires its rosemary color and texture. Pamela mentions that the yarn feels good to the touch and confirms its washable properties. She expresses excitement about using this yarn, as it is her first time working with a super bulky weight yarn.

Textured Wave Throw

Pamela shows the pattern for the Textured Wave Throw, the featured project for the Premier Couture Home yarn. She admires the pattern's aesthetics and acknowledges that it involves some intermediate-level techniques like V stitches and shell stitches. Pamela anticipates the challenge and satisfaction that await her when she embarks on making this textured afghan.
