    The Soft Essentials Stripes Pixie Stripe looks just like the yarn my late grandmother (who is the one that taught me to crochet!) made my baby blanket from. I have been looking for a yarn to make a blanket inspired by mine, and I think this is the perfect fit! I wish she was here to share this lovely yarn with. I can’t wait to make it with Michaels!
