 on Youtube, as well, as many new videos
 of existing crochet Patterns.
 When I do this, the pattern gets re-tested and re-edited.
You can check out my Youtube Channel HERE
On My Youtube Channel You will find 4 types of Videos
1. Crochet Pattern Tutorials -
    These are Videos of my Crochet Patterns.
2. Videos to Answer Questions about my Patterns.
     These are videos that I try to answer questions
     that have been asked about my patterns.
3. Crochet Techniques  - 
    These are videos to demonstrate a certain technique or
    trick that I have learned and want to share with you. 
4. Live Videos - 
    I do a Live Video every Tuesday at 9:30 AM MST
   on my facebook business page - Posh Pooch Designs
I do want to address a few questions I received in the last few weeks concerning my Youtube Channel-

First Question, " Why do people give you a thumbs down (dislike)?

Answer: I really do not know. I do know that not everyone
 will like me or my style. I am OK with that. I want my Youtube channel to be different than what is already out there.

  Youtube does not differentiate between a "like" and a "dislike",
 it just sees it as interaction. So it is not hurting me in any way.

2nd Question: " How do I find the Crochet Pattern you are demonstrating in the video?"

Answer: All the Patterns being demonstrated will have a
 Link in the notes under the video demonstrating it. 
there is usually a "arrow" to click on to "show more",
 if you do not see it. You can also find them, here on my blog.
Use the tabs that at the top of this blog.

3rd Question: "Why was my Comment deleted?"

Answer: There are 2 basic reasons a Comment is deleted.

First- If  your comment contained any unkindness, bullying,
 or any negativity, it will be removed. 

Secondly- If your comment contained inappropriate language
 or curse words. Your comment will be removed.

Third- If the comment contains a link that Youtbe thinks is spam,
 it will not be shown till I approve it.

I have noticed that I will receive an email that says a comment
 was made, But then I go to the video and I do not see it.
 I do not know why.

I have many new Crochet Patterns

and am very excited to share these with you,
 through this new year!

How I Made A Yarn Christmas And Globe Ornament | Posh Pooch Designs

Merry Christmas!
I want to show you how I made a 
Yarn Globe and Christmas Ornament.
Super easy and fun to give away!
Grab all your Yarny friends and make a bunch!

See the Video on my Youtube channel 
at this LINK


It is really easy and only takes a few supplies.
 You can purchase the plastic globe or ornament at your local Walmart or Hobby Lobby.

I used Lion Brand Bon bon yarn. and rolled them into small balls.
I then made a small swatch of the same yarn.
I crocheted a bottom for my globe.
 And put everything inside the globe.
It has a nice big opening so lots of fun things
 can easily be put inside.
DO NOT ADD WATER!
Close the bottom and add a decorative bottom if desired.

 The ornament opening is smaller and you
 will need to roll the balls smaller.
Most of the things will still fit inside, you will 
just have to scrunch them up a bit.

Things to add to the Ornament and Globes;
 yarn balls
small knitting needles 
small crochet hook
Stitch markers
Pins
 Buttons
Charms
Beads
 Glitter
Fake snow
The perfect gift for all your yarn Friends!
