The Fall Aspen Wrap Shawl Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 The Fall Aspen Wrap Shawl
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Crochet

The Fall Aspen Wrap Shawl is designed using 

The Premier Just Yarn ombre in the Mustard Ombre color. 

When I started working on This Wrap Shawl

 it reminded me of the trips we had taken

 to see the Aspen Trees in the Fall in Rocky

 Mountains of Colorado. The Aspen Trees are

 stunning shades of bright yellow to gold leaves.

The Fall Aspen Wrap Shawl is a rectangle wrap shawl. 

And it can also double as a lap blanket. It's a lacy shawl

 perfect for when the weather cools down some. 

For those cool mornings and evenings, 

when it's not quite cold enough for a sweater

 or coat, and you just want a little extra warmth.

I took these pictures myself with my digital

 camera, the last trip we took to see The Aspen

 trees with Maximo and Rosie, our Chihuahuas. 

I love this picture of them. 

They loved to have their picture taken

 and were amazing models, and so photogenic.

I miss them everyday.

It's an elegant shawl and can add a touch

 of glamor to any outfit.

Both, Dress up and Casual wear will look 

great with this Shawl.

I chose to make my shawl with the Mustard

 Ombre color because I love omre yarns and 

I love the color yellow. You can stitch your shawl

 up in any color or colors you choose.

I really think an Ombre or gradient yarn works great  

with the stitches designed in this pattern.

Swimming Is As Fun As Crocheting! | Posh Pooch Designs

I have Started a new Adventure.

Swimming.

I was already doing water Aerobics, 

but felt I needed to

shake up my routine a bit.

So I started swimming laps, 

and even took a swimming lesson.

I am  a little "floppy"  and Uncoordinated.

 I am still working on form, my breathing and such.

 But I really love it.

And I am really rocking those pink Goggles!

I have found being in the water healing.

There have been studies to show that people with 

Autism, ADHD, Arthritis, and Hashimotos,  to 

greatly benefit from being in the water.

The benefits of swimming are awesome.

1. It tones your muscles.

2. It builds bone density.

3. It keeps you flexible.

4. It helps to reduce inflammation.

5. It burns a bunch of Calories.

6. It lowers Stress

7. People who swim, sleep better 

But it does dry out your skin. 

Be sure to lotion up after every swim.

If you know me,

You know I love to crochet, 

knit and all things yarny, 

and now I have another love,

 Swimming.

I would crochet and swim at the same time,

 but the yarn would get wet!

Fringed  Boucle' Cowl

 Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Fringed Homespun Cowl Crochet Pattern - 

A Beginner Pattern for Working with 

Homespun Style Yarns.

I was given this beautiful Sky Blue Yarn,  

and thought it would make a lovely  Fringed Cowl.

 The yarn is Lionbrand Homespun.

The colors are Sky Blue and White.

The Applique is make with Worsted Weight (4)Yarn.

This simple pattern is a great way to use up some

 of the Homespun style yarn you have and don't

 know what to do with it.

This Cowl is made using Homespun Yarn, 

the colorway is Water Fall.

I love how the fringe fluffs out and gets a little fuzzy.

Because this yarn can be a little tricky to work with.

We Just retested and Updated this Crochet Pattern

 with a Photo Tutorial and a Brand New Video
