 FRIDAY FUN DAY!
Garden Sign You Design Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Found This Cute Garden Sign At my Local Hobby Lobby

 When I was searching for the clearance sale.

When I saw it I decided I wanted to make a s

fun garden or yard sign for Spring.

 It would also look nice on an interior door or

 wall in any room in your home. 

The hanger is 7.9 X 5 inches

but The Sign we make to hang on it is 6.5 X 8 inches

Other Options For A Sign Hanger.

1. A small wooden dowel

2. A wire hanger

3. A thin stick from the yard

There Are 5 Steps In Making the Sign.

You can personalize the sign by getting into your yarn

 stash and button stash, and have some fun. 

Choose the colors you like, the buttons you like and even appliques your like. Make it to fit your style.

May Stitch Of The Month – Larksfoot Stitch Larksfoot Dish Towel | Posh Pooch Designs

 May Stitch Of The Month – 
Larksfoot Stitch  Larksfoot Dish Towel
 By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

This Month's Crochet Stitch Pattern is 

The Larksfoot Stitch Crochet Pattern

This Crochet Pattern Demonstration was requested

 by a friend. And I really enjoyed designing the dish towel

 with this pattern. It measure about 10 X 14 inches,

 the perfect size for drying the dishes or counter tops. 

It's really quite simple once you learn the repeat rows.

I designed the dish towel with 3 colors of Premier Home 

Cotton Yarn since I was stitching up a dish towel. 

This stitch pattern also makes lovely blankets, scarves,

 hats, bags and many other projects.

I stitched up the towel with a 5.00 MM / H crochet hook

 for a nice crisp tension to show the pattern details.
