 SARA PODCAST

Michael's Unboxing

With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

On This Week's Video we did an 

unboxing from Michael's Craft Store

What do you think was inside the box?

Yarn! 

YES!!!!!!

But what kind of yarn?

I Also Answered the Question,

"How Can I Crochet Faster"?

Some people say it's the crochet hooks you use, or

 how you sit, or maybe you need more practice, But it's

 hard to answer this question. Everyone crochets

 differently and are at a different place in their crochet journey. 

Also the stitch, the  yarn, and the crochet pattern 

can make a difference in how fast you crochet.

I say it's about the experience and the journey. 

Take your time and don't be in a big hurry.

If you are always in a hurry you may not enjoy the 

process and get burned out.

Here are my suggestions:

1. Set aside an amount of time To Crochet.

(I am going to crochet 2 hours, 6 to 8 pm)

2. Put away distractions like your phone, 

Ipads, laptops and the tv. Put the kids

 to bed or have them play in their rooms. 

3. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Think About the person or organization,

you are crocheting for.

4. lastly, When I try to rush the process,

 I usually make mistakes. And than I spend more

 time frogging and fixing my mistakes.

Remember Crochet is an art, 

you are an artist,

 And Art can not be rushed.

Christmas Gnome TP Cover Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Christmas Gnome TP Cover 

Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This is just the cutest thing!

How Cute will he be sitting in Your 

Christmas decorated Bathroom?

Such a Holly Jolly Fellow!

I designed this Silly Gnome with I Love This Yarn sparkle/

 metallic yarns from Hobby Lobby. I chose Traditional

 Christmas colors of Red, Green and White. But, you

 use any colors to make your Holiday decorations.

Any med (4) yarn will work, and if you don't have 

the sparkle yarn, regular if just fine.

I just wanted it to have some pizzazz!

One thing I discovered is that the Tp of a few years

 ago is taller than the TP I buy now. So depending on 

what brand you buy you may need adjust the height

 of you TP Christmas Gnome cover.
