I recently gave An Update On My Crafting Rotation and mentioned that I'd put my scrappy blanket, which I'm knitting out of commercial yarn, on the back burner as I had no more yarn to add to it at the moment. I received a lovely email from a reader of my blog asking if I'd like some yarn she had as she had no use for it. I jumped at her offer.
This is the parcel of yarn which I received. What a generous gesture. I'm always blown away by the kindness I receive here in Blogland. The internet can be a scary and unpleasant place in some instances but I've had nothing but good experiences here on my blog. My readers and commenters have always been so very kind.
Most of the yarn has ball bands so I know which company produced it and what colourway it is, but those without ball bands have been bagged up and a little note popped inside the bag letting me know this information.
There's some beautiful yarn, all different colours, I can't wait to add it to my blanket.
My sincere thanks go to the lovely reader who sent all this wonderful yarn to me, I'm truly grateful and appreciate your generosity.
Isn't that lovely to know that there are nice people out there. I love the multi coloured yarns and the one top right I have just made a 'Boko Ball' out of. That's what I'm calling the balls I'm making to throw at the cats when they have a spat. lol

They are beautiful shades and will enhance your blanket, most people who are not making a scrap blanket will have left over yarn. Making so many pairs of socks gives me loads of 'scrap', I always knit in 4ply so I sort my scrap into thinner and thicker balls, the thinner I make small granny squares and the thicker, I use on the same design as your blanket. Enjoy your knitting.
