and stuff it for a large pillow!

Live Video Chat With Sara - "Cakes, Rolls and Pops" And How To Make Your Own | Posh Pooch Designs

It's Mardi Gras!
Fat Tuesday!

I have had this Question asked me several times lately, 
so I decided to do a little investigating.
"What is the difference between The Caron Cakes Yarn, 
The Sweet Roll Yarn, and the Bernat Pops Yarn, and
 the New Mandala yarn cakes?"



See The Live Video on my Youtube Channel 
at This LINK


Let's take a Quick Look:

1. Caron Cakes Yarn
Made by: Caron / Yarnspirations
Thickness: Medium 4
Weight: 7.1 oz. / 383 yards
Fiber Content: 80% Acrylic/ 20% Wool
Suggested Crochet Hook: H

2. Sweet Rolls Yarn 
Made By: Premier Yarns
Thickness: Medium 4
Weight: 5 oz. / 245 yards
Fiber Content: 100% Acrylic
Suggested Crochet Hook: I

3. Bernat Pop Yarn
Made By: Yarnspirations
Thickness: Medium 4
Weight: 5 oz /280 yards
Fiber Content: 100% Acrylic
Suggested Crochet Hook: H

4. Mandala Yarn Cake
Made By: Lion Brand Yarns
Thickness: Light 3
Weight: 5.3 oz. / 590 Yards
Fiber Content: 100% Acrylic
Suggested Crochet Hook: H

How to make my own "Yarn Cakes".
I have been making these cakes for many
 years using my left over yarns. 
It's a great way to mix and match your yarns 
and come up with new color combinations.

See a Video Demonstration on my Youtube Channel at This LINK
Choose 3 or four colors of yarn, and 
separate them into .50 oz. balls.
If you have a yarn winder begin winding the first color.
 When you are almost to end of the first color,
join the new color by using the Russian join, 
and continue winding.
Repeat this until you have made your cakes.
My Yarn winder only makes small cakes, 
so mine are more the size of the Sweet rolls.

If you do not own a Yarn Winder, 

you can do the same thing, only wind it into
 toilet Paper Rolls.

Murphy's Pizza Dog Rug Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Murphy's Pizza Dog Rug
Crochet Pattern By
 Sara Sach of
A Friend of mine found a small dog, who was hanging out
 in front of the Murphy's Pizza here in town. They took him to the Veterinary, After no chip or owner was found, they decided to keep him and call him Murphy. He is a Jack Russel/ Chihuahua Mix and Adorable.
Because he was found in front of Murphy's Pizza, 

she asked me to make him a Pizza rug or mat to lay on.
And This is what I came up with.
The Rug is Stitched using 3 strands of yarn held together.

This makes a sturdy but soft rug.
 I used Red Heart Super Saver Worsted weight (4) yarn,
 so it would hold up in the wash.
