 Crochet Pattern

Scrap Happy Summer Poncho

I am So excited about This Month's 

Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern.

I gathered up all my teal shades and some pink from

 my yarn stash and stitched up a fun and 

easy Summer poncho.

It's lacy and airy and adds a touch of whimsy to any

 outfit. Wear it with a tank top or sundress. Or just 

over your bathing suit, with shorts.

It's perfect for cool mornings and evenings, 

And sunny afternoons.

I Designed it to be comfy, roomy and casual.

It has 5 sizes included in the crochet pattern.

And The length is up to you.  Maybe a short ponchette

 is what you want, or long body covering poncho.

Either Way This is the perfect poncho for you.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Garden Sign You Design Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 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.

COFFEE AND CROCHET PODCAST - 5 Things I Wish I Knew When I learned To Crochet | Posh Pooch Designs

 COFFEE AND CROCHET PODCAST

5 Things I Wish I Knew When I Learned

 To Crochet

With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

5 Things I Wish I Knew When I 

Learned To Crochet

1. You Will Make Mistakes.

Even the most advanced Crocheters make mistake. 

Keep on trying the effort is worth it.

2. Go Slow - When learning to crochet take your time,

 don't rush it. If you go to fast and skip to harder patterns,

 it may cause you to get frustrated and quit.

3. Read The Yarn Label -There is a multitude of

 information on the yarn labels. From fiber content to

 recommendations on what size hook to use.

4. The Hook Size Really Does Matter - Using The right

 size hook can make all the difference in the world. But also

 rememeber tension is different and you my need to adjust.

5. Lastly - Measure As You Go - Measure, Measure

 And Than measure again. You can adjust your tension

 by going up and down a hook size. 

What the vide for an in depth conversion

 about these 5 things

Sensational Summer Wrap Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Sensational Summer Wrap

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Sensational Summer Wrap is a light weight wrap 

perfect For Summer. It looks lovely with a sundress or

 a Tank top. It can also be wrapped around your waist

 or for a simple swimsuit cover.

I designed this wrap with Premier yarns, 

Hipster Cotton yarn in the Summer Splash colorway.

This yarn is a light (3) weight yarn. It is a soft cotton and 

easy to work with. And Because it's a light (3) weight cotton,

 it is light and airy, Again perfect for Summer outfits.

You can find the Hipster Cotton Yarn at This

 Link: -------> Premier Yarn Hipster Cotton Yarn

There are 14 different colorways to choose from.

This Wrap Stitches Up quickly Because it's a one row repeat.

You repeat until the wrap is the width you desire. Take it

 with you to Summer parties, the pool or the beach.

 It's "Must Have" accessory for sure!
