A Few Tips About My Youtube Channel

1. If it's too loud, turn down your volume.

2. If it's too quiet, turn up your volume.

3. The Closed Captioning is on, 
you have to turn it on, on your devise.

4. If it's too fast, you can pause it, or slow it down.

5. If it's to slow, you can fast forward.

6. If you are looking for perfection,
Just Note: That is not me.
I am human, I make mistakes 
and I laugh at myself.

7. Lastly, It's A No drama Llama Channel,

and I won't bring mine.

My Youtube Channel is about Crochet, and Coffee,

world for a few minutes.

Mason Jar Plant Hanger And Light Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Mason Jar Plant Hanger And

 Light Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

This Hanging Planter is wonderful for plants,

 indoor or outdoor. 

And it also makes a great hanging light.

I suggest using the  LED tea lights.

We used A Medium (4) Acrylic  Yarn in a beige or

 light brown color. I was going for a rustic look to go

 with the Mason Canning Jars.

A Cotton or Cotton Blend Yarn will also work great 

for this project.

We Decided to update this Crochet Pattern, add new pictures

 and a Brand New Video.
