Knitting Work in Progress with Starbella Yarn

Today is Wednesday and Shelly and I have quite a few works in progress!

Share this tip and Starbella yarn:
We have been knitting up a storm while I'm here for Christmas week.  This is the Starbella yarn that Shelly picked out for daughter Kyra and I got to knit it! It's my first time knitting with Starbella yarn but Shelly made everyone scarves for Christmas and could have sold each one twice while knitting in public. 

You need fast projects when you're just visiting!  It's fun and pretty easy knitting with Starbella as it's so unusual.



THE BEST TIP 
about using Starbella is before you start your project, open the yarn and wind it around a tube like I have shown here.  I used a paper towel tube that I cut to size, you can use a toilet paper tube, a stiff piece of cardboard or even a rolled newspaper.  It is much easier to use when the yarn is already opened and flattened.  It's tedious but once you begin the project you can complete it in just a few hours, it goes that fast.



Have you tried this yarn yet? Or Red Heart's Boutique Sashay Yarn?

It's easy to buy authentic Starbella yarn on Amazon.  They offer it at a better price and more colors than local yarn shops.  The Amazon link below will take you directly to the Starbella Yarn.




Also feel free to ask me questions about Starbella.  It's so easy to knit or crochet with!

What is the difference between starbella ruffles and sashay ruffes scarves? Are you using the same yarn?

It is the same type of yarn. You would knit or crochet the same with it.

I just tried it this week. The scarf is very pretty. The metallic edging is rough if you have it next to bare skin.

I just finished one with Starbella. Tried many, many times to crochet it but just couldn't do it and I crochet, don't knit. Finally used a video for the knitted version and it worked out great. I will try the crochet version again :)

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
