Trendy Tank Top

I have been wanting to make a 

Crochet tank top.

So......I made one!

I made it out of Hobby Lobby's

 I Love This Cotton - Pink Sparkle

It takes 3 skeins.

I made the Trendy Tank top 

Designed by the 

Double Stitch Twins.

I changed the neck and hem, but the pattern 

is really easy and works up fast.

It is great for a top over a tank 

or even over  a bathing suit.

Colorado Strong Graph Pattern

As I watched the news, 
wondering how bad the fires will get, 

here in Colorado this year, 
I wanted and  needed to keep my hands busy.

My hear goes out to all those 
who have lost homes and family members.

I saw this image on facebook and 

wanted to make a graph sort of like it.

I started with this.

 I reversed the yellow and the red, 

because I wanted the heart red.

But that is the beauty of a graph pattern...

You can stitch it what ever colors you want!!

Here is the graph stitched up, 

with the colors reversed.

Then Framed in a 8 X 10 Frame.

Please, Add This Crochet pattern to Your

Ravelry Favorites

Here is the Graph 9 X 11 inches

To Crochet the graph you will need:

H Hook

Worsted Weight Yarn

1 Square = 1 sc

You ch 40, starting the in 2nd ch from the hook, 

you begin working the graph from the bottom, 

Row 1, and work up.

Pray for Rain!

Paw Print Blanket is Pooch Approved

 I want to share with you all 

my Paw Print Blanket 

and how I made it.

This is not an official Crochet Pattern, 

but rather an explanation.

Maximo and Rosie love the blanket.

They prefer a Crocheted blanket 

over any other kind.

I have taught them well. 

This is what I did...

I used an H hook

4 colors of Red heart Super Saver Yarn.

Choc. Cherry variegated, Brown, 

cranberry and cream

First : I started with a paw print square graph, 

and made it into a granny square.

Secondly: I made 12 granny squares

 to go around the edges. 

I wanted the blanket a square, not a rectangle.

 Then I attached them all together.

Lastly, I added a trim of shells.

It was a very simple project and 

I think it turned out lovely. 

It is perfect for my window seat.

I Love how it turned out.

Windsock Crochet Pattern

Windsock Crochet Pattern

By Sach Sach

The windsock can be made in any Worsted weight (4) 

yarn colors of your choosing,

 for a different look or style.

 I used plastic bracelets from the store to form the top

 and bottom ring shape of the windsock.

Metal or other rings can be used.

 These are about 3.4 to 4 inches.

You must use some sort of ring or the windsock will 

not hold it's shape.

A Lesson in Crochet and Friendship

I had the privilege of having this 

Sweet 15 year old as a house guest.

She already knows how to crochet, 

but wanted some help making 

a gift for a friend.

Her friend loves music, 

so we decided to make a bag

 that resembled a music staff 

with note appliques.

We took a break from crocheting 

to take the pooches for a walk.

She loves dogs, and the pooches love her.

This is how the bag turned out.

Pattern For What We Did

 I Love This yarn Sparkle in Black and White, 

and flat black for the notes.

R : 6-7 -  With Black yarn , 1 sc in each sc around

Continue to Repeat R: 2-7-The pattern of of 4 white rows and 2 black rows until you have 5 black stripes and 6 black stripes.

After the last white stripe row of sc, We will be forming the handle, With black yarn, 1 sc in the next 9 sc, ch 25, skip the next 10 sc, join to the next sc with a sc, 1 sc in the next 17 sc,  ch 25, skip the next 10 sc, join to the next sc with a sc, 1 sc in the last 8, join to the 1st sc, ch 1
