Crochet Quillo - Its a Blanket, It's a Pillow, It's a bag!

The Quillo Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I really wish I would have had one of these 

when my Momma was having Chemo 

and lots of Dr. Visits. It was always so cold.

I know they keep it cold to keep germs down, 

and this Crochet Quillo 

would have been the perfect thing to take along.

It is the perfect size blanket. It folds up into a convenient bag,

 and Can be used as a pillow.

Bag/ Pillow Measures About 16 X 12 inches.

It makes a great travel pillow, in the car, RV or plane,

because it doesn't take up much space.

And you can carry it anywhere, with the handles.

When unfolded the Blanket measures
Approximately About 38 X 28.

If you may be a tighter hooker then I am, you may need to

 go up a hook size.  This blanket and pillow are meant to 
be stitched somewhat loosely. The blanket is a perfect size to 

lay across your lap, or throw over your shoulders.

You can even put your feet in the pocket to keep your feet warm.

You can even Tuck a book or Electronic Tablet inside.

 or Whatever you need.

Adventures in Knitting for Posh Pooch Designs

I learned to Knit around the same time

 I was learning to Crochet.

I took to Crochet and although,

 I still would knit some,

 I really preferred to Crochet.

I  received this  gorgeous set 

of Knitting needles

 and have the itch to do 

some Knitting.

The Set is Called

Dreamz  Symfonie Wood

Interchangeable Deluxe Set 

By Knitters Pride.

These are the most amazing knitting needles

 I have ever used!

The needles are made of beautiful wood,

in different colors.

Easy to change, and wonderful to use. 

The yarn  slipped smoothly

as I began to knit.

In the past I have knit with both plastic 

and metal knitting needles.

 Maybe that was why I did 

not really like knitting.

These knitting needles make

 me want to knit!!!!

So This begins my 

adventures in knitting.

I could hardly sleep last night

 for all the knitting designs

floating in my head!

So be watching for me to go

 KnIt cRaZy

With fun designs!

Don Not panic!

 I will still be designing Crochet Patterns!
