Night And Day Cowl - Free Knitting Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

I Love to knit with Chunky Yarn!

And Lion Brand's  Wool Ease 

has become my absolute

 favorite chunky yarn.

This Cowl is quick to stitch up,

soft to wear and 

super thick and warm.

I just could not resist 

making a cowl with it.

The Cowl is basically stitched in stockinette

with knit stitches on the edges.

looks the cutest in the 

Hood with Shamrock ears?

Maximo or Rosie

I Know it looks like they are both

But they are intently staring at the 

dog cookie in my hand.

I used my Crochet pattern For the 

Dog Hood With Ears

The pattern has 4 sizes included-

XXS-M for 2-20 lb dogs

The pattern includes hearts,

 bear and kitty ears patterns.

Then added the 

Clover or Shamrock

from The Clover Collar.

making 2 clovers, one for each side.

I see Maximo decided to photo bomb this pic.

He is such a fun silly pooch.

My dog's are amazing models. And love it.

or is it the dog cookies they get for

 modeling that they love?

 Either way They are the very best

Dog Models in the world, 

and I could not do what I Love.

 without them.

Featured Designer - Marie Segares, TheUnderground Crafter | Posh Pooch Designs

February's Featured Designer is:

Marie Segares - The Underground Crafter

She is wearing  Thaden's AsymmetricalShawl in this picture.

I only asked her 2 questions:

1. Who is Marie Segares?

"I'm a crochet and knitting blogger, designer, teacher, podcaster, and 

small business consultant. My maternal grandmother taught me to

 crochet in 1984. For the next 16 or so years, I basically made one color,

 half double crochet scarves. In the early 2000s, I learned to read patterns

 and then my crocheting life just exploded! In 2008, I started 

Underground Crafter, became a Craft Yarn Council certified

 crochet teacher and instructor, and started designing shortly

 thereafter. In 2010, I conquered my lifelong fear of knitting,

 and now I teach knitting and design knitting patterns, too.

 Last fall, I launched the CreativeYarn Entrepreneur Show, 

a weekly podcast for small business owners in the yarn industry."

"Oh, and in my non-crafty life: I'm a native New Yorker 

and have lived in Brooklyn or Manhattan for all but 3

 years of my life, I have two rescued cats, 

and I'm more than a bit of a sci fi nerd."

2. Tell us About our Blog.

"I started blogging in 2011. My blog and my business got the

 name Underground Crafter because I would do a lot of crocheting 

and other crafts while riding the subway to and from work :). 

On my blog, I share free crochet patterns, crochet and knitting book 

and product reviews, pattern roundups, interviews with needle

arts industry pros, and my crafty adventures. Oh, and from time

 to time I toss in a giveaway, too. I've been honored to receive 

several awards since I started blogging, including the

2014Awesome Crochet Blog Award for Best Crochet Blog Post Series 

from Crochet Concupiscence for my 

2014Hispanic Heritage Month interview series."

I decided to Make one of her patterns: 

I chose The Pinky Circle Scarf

perfectly written pattern and fun to make.

It is a warm scarf, but has a "lacy" look and 

lets just enough air through.

I used Impeccable-folklore yarn.

Isn't it fun to get to know

Don't forget to block your 

coaster for a nice crisp look.

 I wanted to discuss a question I get quite often, 

"Can you or should you, 

Block items made with acrylic yarn."

I think it depends on the item. 

For Small items such as this coaster, I do block them.

I like to do what I call. "Spray Blocking."

Spray Blocking

1. You need straight pins, a piece of foam board, 

A Spray water bottle, and a old clean dish cloth.

                           2. Place the foam Board between

 the 2 layers of the towel.

3. Place your item on the towel, and pin it in place. 

Spray water on the item,ease the corners and

 sides how you want them to be shaped.

You do not need to soak the item, just get it damp.

4. Leave it set until it is dry. 

Then it is ready to use.
