Anniversary Cake Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Anniversary Cake Blanket Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I purchased one of the New Anniversary Yarnspirations /

 Caron Yarn Cakes From Michaels a few months back,

 and thought is was perfect for making my hubby a new

 blanket for his recliner.

 The color is called "Bookclub". It has lots of browns,

 blues, beiges and a pop of gold.

I really love it, and really love how it looks on his recliner. 

You can see Rosie agrees. It is a super Bulky (6) acrylic yarn,

 so it stitches up super fast and is super warm.

The Crochet Pattern is a altered Basket Weave Stitch.

 That means it is similar but not exactly the same.

We stitch the Front Post Double Crochet on the Front, 

but we do not stitch the Back Double crochet on the Back.

This gives the blanket a similar look and texture,

 but a more flattened appearance.

It Stitches up really quick, because the stitch is fun,

 but also we are using a super bulky (6) Yarn

How To Line A Bag

See The Video On My Crochet Youtube

 You will Need:

2 Pieces of Cloth - 12 X 12 inches

I like to use bandannas premade because they are inexpensive.

Straight Pins - About 15

Sewing Needle

Sewing Thread - To match the cloth

Sewing Scissors

Tape Measure

Pen

1. Lay out your fabric, lay your bag on top of the fabric.

Measure an 3 inches across the top of the bag, 

and mark with a pen.

And 2  inch around the sides, and the bottom of the back.

Cut the fabric.

2. Move The bag, lay the Fabric Wrong side out and pin.

Measure up 1 inch and Cut off the corner off the2 bottom corners.

Thread The needle with the thread and Measure in about 1 inch.

Starting at the left top, sew down side and bottom

and up the other side of the bag.

 Fold the 2 bottom corners and sew them.

3. Fold the top of the liner twice and pin in place.

 Slip into liner the bag.

With thread and needle whip stitch the liner to the bag securely.

And That's it.

You can use this method on just about any size bag.

Let’s Go Hooded Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Let’s Go Hooded Cowl Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Let's Go Hooded Cowl is the perfect accessory

 for those who are often on the go during the cold

 winter months. And It is quick to pop on and off, 

if the weather warms up. I think the Name 

"Let's Go Hooded Cowl" is a perfect name for

 my new crochet pattern design.

And it is great for the guys and the girls

This Hooded Cowl is Stitched up using 

The New O'Go Yarn from Yarnspirations. 

It is the Caron Colorama in the Overboard Colorway.

Learn More About This New Yarn At This LINK

 LINK

 It is a bulky (5) acrylic yarn, and I stitched it up with 

a K / 6.50 mm crochet hook. So not only is it 

super quick to stitch up, it is super easy as well.

 The yarn is nice to crochet with and 

I love the shades of blues and grays in this colorway.

I wanted to design a New Hooded Cowl and I wanted

 to try the new O'Go Yarn.  The New Let's Go Hooded Cowl Is the perfect Crochet Pattern For Both.  

But Do not worry if you do not have this particular yarn, 

And Bulky (5) yarn will work just fine.

 O'GO or O'NO New Yarn Review

 COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA (128) 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The New O'GO Yarn By Caron Yarnspirations

Tangle Free - Quick Start

This Yarn is Suppose to be Tangle Free.

It is wound in a donut shape and looks 

pretty impressive.

But is It A "O'GO"  or  "NO'GO"?

It's actually not the yarn, but  the way it is wound 

that makes it's tangle free And Quick To Start.

And I wonder, couldn't This same thing be accomplished 

 if they just wound it in cakes.

The Yarn is repackaged in 4 styles.

Here is the Chart With all The info.

Bernat Blanket Yarn

Caron Colorama

Caron Big Donut

Redheart Super Saver

Each one has the same amount of yarn

 as the original skein/ cake.

But is The price The same?

I did hear it will be available at Walmart, Joann's

 Michael's and online. So You can it for yourself.
