Yarn Issues

My son and I were inspired recently by something we saw which is basically a pillow with a built-in ipod holder.  I decided to use the leftover yarn from his patriotic cardigan to make this for him.  I'm using a E hook to crochet this piece.  However, this yarn keep separating and snagging and is making this take much longer than it should.  This isn't cheap yearn.  I won't mention the company name, but it is a well known company which is featured in knitting magazines and the like.  I'm making this in red, white and blue and have been working only with blue so far, so my hopes are that the other colors behave more!  I will post photos once this is complete.

I started making the Beekeeper's Quilt.  Here is my progress on it.  I'm also developing a pattern for a pillow and blanket set that I'm making my son, I'm knitting myself a sleeveless dress and I'm crocheting (and then felting) a wall organizer for my house.  I'll post more photos soon!

Hello!

I have been knitting and crocheting lots of stuff but I always forget to come share! Hopefully, I will get organized and will start sharing my projects like I have intended to!
