Novelty yarn- a new obsession

Hey crafty bitches hope this day finds you well! Lets talk about my new knitting obsession-novelty yarns. In the past month I have bought two different types and made two projects that I really didn't need. The first was with a pompom yarn. I bought it in blue and white colored one made by red heart called pomp-a-doodle. This yarn is a sting separated by a pom pom.This was a difficult yarn to knit with and I cast on and ripped out many times. I finial settled on a stitch count I flew through the knitting in about a week. I made a mat or rug. Not really sure what I am going to do with it. M oldest said she would take it for her room, but left it here when she left...

 The other is loopy yarn that you kinda weirdly knit with your fingers and I made a single wide blanket.  I am not sure what I am going to do with it. It is soft and squashie and I love it. Down side it is small. My minis will probably enjoy it. I thought I was running out of yarn and now I have a ball of this weird loopy yarn and not really sure what to do with it...

This is the problem with novelty yarns is that you have a very limited projects that you can use it for. I guess this is where making up your own. Well making patterns has always has been a short coming of mine I have never had much luck. I just don't have the patience to design, work and re work a project.

Pompon rug! Pain in the butt to knit!
