FRIDAY FUN DAY! Silver Sparkle Beaded Garland Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

  FRIDAY FUN DAY! 
Silver Sparkle Beaded Garland
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs



🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

It's Friday Fun Day And I have super fun 
Crochet Pattern For You! It's Silver Sparkle Garland
 that is beaded. It has a vintage flare to it,
 and the sparkle yarn gives it a modern touch.

If You do not have a sparkle or metallic yarn,
 you can use Med (4) weight acrylic gray yarn,
or any color you like, and a #10 Metallic Thread
 held together for the same effect.



It's great for all your Christmas and Holiday decorating. 
Put it on the mantle, use with table settings and 
of course, on the Christmas Tree.

It adds lots of Sparkle when the Holiday lights are on, 
and festive flare with the red and green pony beads
 is so pretty. I used Christmas green pony beads, 
and red heart pony beads I had on hand. 
You can find them at any Craft Store.

Christmas Wreath Ornament Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Christmas Wreath Ornament
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs


🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

New Crochet Pattern Release 
Christmas Wreath Ornament
I Love How It Turned out.
I Hope you will enjoy stitching some of these up,
 as much as I did.

This Christmas Wreath Ornament can also be used
 as a coaster, gift tag and decoration. The way it is designed
 gives it several uses.  There is an option for a felt backing. 
This will hide our "messy back" and work great 
for using it as a coaster.



I designed mine in the traditional Christmas colors, 
but you can use any colors of your choosing. I also 
stitched it up using metallic yarns, but you can
 use regular Medium (4) weight yarns.
So again, several options you can choose from.

COFFEE AND CROCHET PODCAST - Have You Lost Your Joy Of Crochet | Posh Pooch Designs

 COFFEE AND CROCHET PODCAST
Have You Lost Your Joy Of Crochet
With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


This is the time of year we start to 
feel overwhelmed and bogged down,
 and we sort of, loose the
 "Joy of Crochet".

See The Video On My Crochet Youtube
 Channel At This LINK



I Have A Few Tips On 
How To Keep Our Joy Of Crochet

1. YARN! - Go into your favorite place to purchase 
yarn, you don't have to buy any, just look, touch 
and squeeze, smell.  I Love just looking down the
 rows and seeing all the  beautiful colors. 

2. Your Crochet Spot - Go to Your happy place, 
 your comfort zone, take a favorite drink,
 like coffee, a few yarn magazines or look through
 Ravelry or Pinterst at all the projects, 
not the Patterns, the projects. 
Maybe something will inspire you to try 
something new.

3. Think of Others - Look Through your stash of 
yarn, and think of someone or a charity you would
 like to make something for donate. I think sometimes
 just getting our thoughts on others can really 
lift our spirits.

4. Donate - Also, While looking through your 
yarn stash, you can donate unused yarn to others. 
Donate to school programs teaching kids to
 crochet, or donate to nursing homes, and 
organizations, or to a friend who may not have the
 money for some new yarn.

 Good Vibes Hood With Pom Poms
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs


Once I opened the box of yarn from
 Premier Yarn, I knew exactly what I wanted to design.
I Absolutely love how this Cozy Comfy Hood 
design stitched up, And those big fluffy pom poms
 are just the thing to make it fun to wear.
I think everyone, young and old, boys and girls 
will love to wear this hood.


It stitched up super fast because the yarns are
 Super Bulky (6). They are soft and smooth, just as 
comfy to work with, as they are to wear. 

The hood fits a youth to adult, at about 22 - 24 inches,
 And Because it is so quick To stitch up, makes a wonderful
 last minute gift. Would be great for school or
 team colors also.
