The Cake Shawl Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of 

I get asked almost daily, 
"What can I make with the Cake Yarns?", 
and ,
 "Do you have an Easy Shawl Pattern?".
 This crochet pattern answers Both of those Questions.
The Cake Shawl is super easy to crochet and
super easy to adjust to any size.



This Shawl 
Crochet pattern
Works
 for any of the
 (4) weight yarn cakes.

 It works up great
 with the color changes.
The perfect shawl for
a casual day 
of shopping.
Or
a dressy evening.



Just 
Think
 of All 
the
 color 
Possibilities!

Live With Sara - Glue, Crochet Along and Yarn Give Away | Posh Pooch Designs

Live With Sara - 
With Sara Sach 

See The Video On my Youtube Crochet
Channel At This LINK



Today's Topics:
1. Can I use Glue on Crochet items?

There are times when we may want to use glue.
Maybe for an applique, or for a pompom.
Or.... Even on a knot.
In That case I recommend Fabric Glue.
There are several Brands that work.
A Brand I use is Aleene's
Can be purchased From Hobby Lobby, Walmart,
 Joann's and Michael's. 
 Any where Fabrics and Crafts are sold.


I do not recommend
 Hot Glue, but that is
 just my
 preference.
It can burn
 Acrylic yarn, 
and melt
 in the heat.


2. Fall Crochet
 Along  -

Hot Cup of Coffee or
Chocolate
 Pillow - 
All The Details can be found at This LINK
