Just Yarn Ombre Vs. Redheart Ombre

With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

My Honest Opinion

But Does "Ombre" Mean?

Ombré /ˈɒmbreɪ/ (literally "shaded" in French)

 is the blending of one color hue to another, 

usually moving tints and shades from light to dark.

You all know I really love Ombre yarn.

I was so excited when Premier Yarn came out

 with Premier Just Yarn Ombre.

I have been using the Redheart Ombre for a while,

 so I have some on hand, and ordered some of the Premier Ombre in similar colors.

And decided to so a Comparison of them.

Both are Medium (4) weight Yarn

Both are Acryic Yarn

Both have similar colors

 on today's video.

Aurora Wrap Shawl Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Aurora Wrap Shawl 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

The Aurora Wrap Shawl is a lovely wrap perfect for

 any time of year. It is designed with Spring in mind,

And is pretty paired up with a sundress, tank top 

and even a dressy outfit.

Makes a lovely addition to a Easter dress,

 or at the beach.

So many uses for this simple, yet elegant wrap.

I designed it using Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cake Yarn

 in the Lilac and Lime Colorway.

The way the colors swirl around the cake,

reminded of the Aurora Borealis

  we saw when we went on an Alaskan Cruise.

It was stunning.

The stitch pattern is a very simple open V stitch, 

with a one row repeat. You can stitch it up in an evening, 

or take it with you to complete along the way.

Clover Stuffie Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

The Clover Stuffie 

is the Perfect Crochet Pattern 

For  FRIDAY FUN DAY!

The Clover Stuffie, softie, little pillow, 

whatever you want to call it, is so stinking cute.

It's just the right size to play with, or set around 

for a fun St. Patrick's Day Decoration.

You can even add a hanger and hang it up.

This silly little clover is made using Premier 

Parfait Chunky Pom pom yarn, 

in the lime green color way. I love how all the

 little "pom poms" are spread through out

 the yarn. It gives it such a playful appearance.

 And Lot's Of Other Yarns As Well.

Of course those safety eyes and smile 

make it super fun and silly.

It was super fun to stitch up, 

and is super fun to have around the house.

Just A Reminder : 

If you are going to make this for a small child, 

do not use safety eyes, as they can pull them out 

and choke on them.

Scrap Happy Knapsack Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Knapsack

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I am super excited about today's Scrap Happy project.

 It's a Knapsack. You might even call it a backpack.

 It's a great bag for taking to school, to the library, 

shopping, as a baby diaper bag and even as a purse.

It's very sturdy because we stitch it up holding 2

 strands of cotton yarn together. Strong enough

 to hold books and groceries.

Back

It measures 12 inches tall and about 24 inches around.

The size is perfect for kids and adults.

It's a very easy project using basic crochet stitches,

and it is a great way to use up all the cotton yarn in

 your yarn stash to make make something useful.

I Love it so much I think I am going to use it as car bag,

 to take my crochet projects along with me.

The Bag Can Be Easily Adjusted - 

Want it wider. just add more beginning chs.

Want it longer, just add more repeat rows.
