Yarn Fanatic Party #23

Welcome to the twenty-third Yarn Fanatic Party!

How have you been?  Poor little Dominic caught the cold bug that's been going around.  Even with the sniffles he's a pretty chill little dude.  He can walk now!  He's been taking a few steps here and a few steps there, but over the weekend he walked across the living room and dining room repeatedly.  He's an early walker, just like his sister, at ten and a half months old.

In yarn news, I'm reviewing a beautiful skein from Expression Fiber Arts.  I have a hat on the needles for myself.  I did tell Catherine that she could share it with me sometimes, because she loves the yarn almost as much as I do!  (Below you can enter to win a skein for yourself!)

There were lots of great projects linked up last week!  One that especially caught my eye was Ionyka's First Baby Blanket.  I suppose I'm a sucker for a bright granny square.

Also, for a great v-stitch scarf, be sure to check out this post by my co-host, Alexandra.

Ready for a giveaway?  I'm super excited about this one!  (To be honest, I get pretty excited for all of the giveaways I host.)  Today's sponsor is Expression Fiber Arts.

The prize is a skein of Celestial 'Resilient' Superwash Merino Sock Yarn.

Details and Important Information: Must be 18+ to enter.  US only.  Void where prohibited.  Winner must respond to my email within 48 hours or a new winner will be chosen.  Social media is not affiliated with this giveaway.  Expression Fiber Arts is responsible for prize shipment and fulfillment.  Contact The Philosopher's Wife with any questions.

Time to party!

What have you created with yarn?  It could be something you crocheted, knitted, or anything that used yarn.  It can be a new project or an old one.  (I would appreciate it though if it had not been linked up to a previous Yarn Fanatic Party.)  I can't wait to see what you've created!

The only rule is that everything you link to must be family friendly.

I would appreciate it very much if you:
