Yarn Bowl

 Yarn Bowls are becoming quite popular among knitters and crocheters.  When I first saw one, I couldn't quite figure out why people were using them...........then I used one.  WOW!  How nice it is your yarn doesn't roll around on the floor, or get stuck under your arm, or sofa cushion etc.  It also helps prevent tangles.  Your yarn stays cleaner as you work.  Though naturally it still requires being laundered to rid it of dust, hair etc.
This fun bright colored polka dot yarn bowl is one I painted recently while vacationing in Park City.  I'm not good  with a paint brush, truly not.  My darling daughter loves  painting pottery so it's always something we do for "girl time".  I usually pick a far easier project then she does, and when I saw the yarn bowl....well, how  could I resist?  I used different sized sponges to create the different sized random polka dots.  This is a deeper than normal yarn bowl, so I believe it will work for multiple cakes/hanks of yarn and has 3 yarn curls to send your yarn out of the bowl.

Girl Time is always fun, and top that with a yarn bowl=a perfect day!

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
