Live With Sara "Let's Make A Crochet Mistletoe" | Posh Pooch Designs

"Live With Sara"
With Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs
"Let's Make A Crochet Mistletoe"

and Answer The Question
"Weave In Or Stitch Over The Ends?" 

See The Video On my Youtube Crochet
 Channel at This LINK


" To Weave, or not to Weave, 
That is the question".
And The answer is not so complicated.
It really depends on your preference.

Sometimes I will stitch over the yarn tails, 
and come back and weave them in Later.

Sometimes I will weave then in as I go, and sometimes
 I will weave then in later.
It really depends on how much time I have
 or my mood.

No matter what you decide to do,
 the most important thing is that the project
 is neat and tidy.
An will hold up in the wash.

Christmas Tree Doily Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs


Christmas Tree Doily Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of
























I Love how this Doily turned out.
I wanted it to look like a star in the center,
 on top of a ring of Pine trees and ruffly tree skirt.
It is simple, and elegant.
I used I Love This Yarn Sparkle/ Metallic from
 Hobby Lobby, for the Green and Red yarns.
Some other good choices for Sparkle yarn is 
Caron party, and Red hear with Love Metallic.
But Any WW (4) yarn will work.
