A Cup of Coffee Banner Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach | Posh Pooch Designs

A Cup of Coffee Banner Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach OF Posh Pooch Designs

I have This Banner hanging in my Yarn Studio.

I designed it last summer and was waiting for the perfect

day to release the Crochet Pattern.

Well, Today is National Coffee Day...So here ya go.

Make yourself or a friend a "A Cup of Coffee" on Me.

I chose to use Bulky (5) Yarns so it would stitch up fast!

If you do not have any Bulky(5) yarns,

you can stitch this banner up using 2 strands

of worsted weight (4) yarns.

I Just Love it so much, and it is all stitched in

double Crochet so it is super duper easy!

Leaf Jumper Hat Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Leaf Jumper Hat Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

There's a chill in the air, the trees are all wearing their

bright gold, orange and Brown. And all the leaves are

starting to fall to the ground. Carving pumpkin time is near.

It's sweater and hat weather, my favorite time of Year!

It's Fall Y'all!

I call This Hat The "Leaf Jumper Hat" Because it is the
perfect hat to wear in the Fall, when you are
raking up leaves into giant piles, and then jump into them.
I loved doing this as a child and even

well into my adult years. I Still love it!

Live Video -Is There A Difference Between "Ombre and Gradient" Yarn? | Posh Pooch Designs

Live Video Chat With Sara Sach of

Posh Pooch Designs

Today's Topic - Is There A Difference Between

"Ombre and Gradient" Yarn?

Which pictures of me is Ombre and
which picture is Gradient?

A lot of Designers and Yarn Manufacturers,
as well as, nail polish, hair dyes and garments, use these terms interchangeably.

They are similar, but there is a difference.

Ombre:
A French term that refers to colors or tones, usually
going lightest to darkest, in the same tone or colors.

Gradient:
A gradual movement from one color to another,
starting at the lightest shade and going to the darkest,
but not necessarily in the same tone or color.

Both Ombre and Gradient is where one color gradually blends into another color, But Ombre is in the same color family, and gradient is any colors like a red into a blue.

Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I was going to release this design this last year, but time
got away from me. So here it is a year later..and I love it!

It is a really easy pattern that stitches up fast.

It lays beautifully and sort of reminds me of one of
my old Christmas Sweaters!

I wanted a Rocky Mountain Colorado Rustic Feel.

It hasn't started snowing yet, so I put it around one
of the trees in the side of yarn.

I chose this tree for the photo, for it's rustic pine tree look
and imperfections. Those scars are from the Bucks
rubbing their antlers on the it.

The yarn I used is Holiday Homespun, by Lionbrand Yarn.

1 skein each of Red, Green and White.

It is lovely soft and bumpy yarn,with gold thread
running through it.

It is a Bulky (5) yarn, so if you do not have this yarn,

or want to use a different yarn, any Bulky (5) would

probably work great.

For Tips on How To work With Homespun Style yarns
click this LINK

As you can see from this picture, it is basically stitched in a pentagon shape, and has a fun and easy chain loop trim.
You do not have to use the same striping effect I used.
Change it up and see what Happens!
