Time Out Cowl Link Up

One of my favorite bloggers, Rachel from Maybe Matilda is hosting a crochet along.  If you haven't tried to crochet yet I encourage you all to give it a try. She  really did some wonderful tutorials on how to do all the basic stitches and a walk through on how to do this pattern. I know that there were a lot of us following along so please check out the link up to see every ones. The tutorials and advice she has offered along the way would be invaluable to a newbie--she's a great instructor.

  

For this particular pattern was voted on by bloggers and is free (and simple!) offered by Lion Brand Yarn. The yarn I used was from Red Heart Curly Q: patchwork. I am so loving all of the colors in it, it will go with everything. I enjoyed making this so much that maded two other ones  LOL. I have a feeling that I will be making several more all though the fall and winter season. 




I had such a fun time with this and I hope that Rachel hosts another crochet along soon!

Flowers Flowers and More Flowers

I have been working on my crocheted flowers for several days now. I haven't made these in years and decided it was time to make some more. There are several colors and I will be listing them on my etsy soon. I just love crocheting things while watching a movie or something on tv I find it very relaxing. I try to make the kids a blanket every couple of years and have been reminded by both that its time again LOL. I still have the one my grandma made me when I was a little girl, it holds wonderful memories for me. I was very young when my grandmother showed me how to crochet and then when I was a teenager my mom helped me long more. It use to be a thing that was passed down through the generations but now a days less people know how or even want to learn sadly even my own daughter shows no interest in learning how. I encourage everyone to give it a try there are so many resources out there to help you learn if you don't have someone to teach you. The Internet and YouTube are full of instruction.
