Isn't This Kiwi Squishy Monster

 The Cutest Thing!

🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝

I Just love Him so much and although it's a monster,

 it is adorably sweet, Just like a Kiwi should be.

I designed him using the Brand New Premier 

Parfait Chunky Fruit Yarn in the Kiwi Colorway. 

 It is a super bulky (6) weight yarn. It is so soft

 and squishy, but very sturdy. It will hold up to

 lots of  play time by kids, and Adults, too.

8 colors

262 yards/ 7 oz. per cake

100% polyester

Super Bulky (6)

See All 8 colors and 

coordinating colors at

 My Premier LINK

And I think any of the colors will make nice 

Squishy Monsters! And You just need one cake to

 make a monster for anyone, including you.

So Grab a Cake or two and make some 

sweet Monsters!

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Simple Pumpkin Hot Pad / Pot Holder Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 FRIDAY FUN DAY! 

Simple Pumpkin Hot Pad / Pot Holder

 Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY!

*********************************

I have had many requests for a simple Crochet 

Pumpkin shaped pot holder / hot pad, so here it is.

 I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun designing it.

It's an easy design of a basic pumpkin with a 

stem, leaf and vine curl. You can make 1 or 2 

thicknesses, depending on what you will use it for.

If using it for an actual hot pad placing hot dishes on

 it or grabbing hot dished from the oven, I suggest

 making it double thick. If it a decoration

 1 thickness if fine.

I designed it using Medium (4) weight orange and

 sage green Red Heart Super saver acrylic yarn, 

as mine for for decorations,

 but again, If using it for an actual hot pad placing 

hot dishes on it or grabbing hot dished from the oven,

I suggest using a cotton or cotton blend yarn.

BJ The Scrappy Cat Pillow Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 BJ The Scrappy Cat Pillow

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

*******************************

I had this cat in mind for a while, and thought

 September was a great time to make it for our 

Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern.

I chose all "Halloween" colors, and some white yarn

from my yarn stash and rolled them up into crazy

 yarn balls holding 2 strands of medium (4) weight

 yarn together. I love them and think the yarn balls

 are even pretty and perfect for a Halloween project.

I named him BJ Short For "Beetle Juice" and

 of course he is a scrappy cat. It measure about

12 inches tall, 24 inches around, 

 the perfect size for playing with or displaying 

as a Cute Halloween display.

The cat was so much fun to stitch up. I made it in

 2 evenings. I could hardly wait to finish it up and

 share it with you all. I just know you will enjoy

 making your own BJ, Just as much as I did.
