My Temperature Scarf 2017 Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 I never finished it because it just got too big and

I ran out of time.

Temperature Scarf Crochet A Long.

I am going to use my same color chart as last year.

How I Made A Yarn Christmas And Globe Ornament | Posh Pooch Designs

Merry Christmas!

I want to show you how I made a 

Yarn Globe and Christmas Ornament.

Super easy and fun to give away!

Grab all your Yarny friends and make a bunch!

See the Video on my Youtube channel 

at this LINK

It is really easy and only takes a few supplies.

 You can purchase the plastic globe or ornament at your local Walmart or Hobby Lobby.

I used Lion Brand Bon bon yarn. and rolled them into small balls.

I then made a small swatch of the same yarn.

I crocheted a bottom for my globe.

 And put everything inside the globe.

It has a nice big opening so lots of fun things

 can easily be put inside.

DO NOT ADD WATER!

Close the bottom and add a decorative bottom if desired.

 The ornament opening is smaller and you

 will need to roll the balls smaller.

Most of the things will still fit inside, you will 

just have to scrunch them up a bit.

Things to add to the Ornament and Globes;

 yarn balls

small knitting needles 

small crochet hook

Stitch markers

Pins

 Buttons
Charms
Beads

 Glitter

Fake snow

The perfect gift for all your yarn Friends!

First. let me say I am really loving my Messy bun and
ponytail hats!

I have made them from all types and weights of yarn. 

They are great for running and exercise, 

or popping one on any old time.

 I wear mine home from the gym when my hair is still wet,
 From my shower after swimming. 

And they are very warm, because your hair covers the hole.

These are made from Worsted Weight(4) yarns.
