<b>Second:</b> Don't engage with the children playing in the yard, unless you have spoken with the adult. This is EVERY TIME, not just the first time you visit a private home. The parent is God's Chosen Protector for those children. Give them the respect they deserve.</span><br />

Remember: <b>Bad people will try to do exactly what you are doing-</b> they will work on building a relationship with the kids in front of the parents. So the child feels safe. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my "New House"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it is a dream house to me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For over a year, I have been working on selling my current home, so I could get into a smaller home, something I can take care of, keep up with, and still have time for my crochet design business, and my grandchildren.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, I got a wild hair, and set some feelers out with investors in the area.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My proposal, A deed for deed SWAP.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I viewed a few vacant houses, and a few investors walked through my house. It was an interesting week. I kept coming back to this little house, and how much it rang true to my goals, and vision.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have spent the last couple weeks, working on it, Painting Rooms, demo in the bathroom, to put in a Washer and Dryer hook up,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Demo in the kitchen, to install cabinets and counter tops, new flooring, and all the incidentals that come with the territory. So many items that have been stored in my basement the last few years will also have a fresh lease on life. It is really exciting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While the house is still a few weeks from livable, it is coming right along. Today, I met with the Owner, to discuss the work still needed, and some of the details of closing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was this conversation that took the wind from my sails; </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At closing, I have to pay the prorated portion of the property taxes on my current house. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">$340.00 that I do not have! In a week!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been doing this on a shoe string, re purposing, reusing, and really being cautious of where I spend money. I have a bunch of hours invested, and materials, but very little cash has been spent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It will remain free, here on the blog, or if you want to print it for your own, personal use, you may buy a copy of the PDF in my Ravelry Shop for $1.49. By personal use, I mean you can print the pattern, and make as many of the dish mops as you please. You may gift the finished item, Sell the finished item, or use them yourself. You may NOT, in any way shape or form sell, or give the pattern to anyone else. Have the person who asks you for it visit my blog to get their own. Thank You for respecting me. I love to share, but I want it to be on my terms.<br />

This is where it started. I have been saying for over a year, that I need to crochet a new scrubbie top for the mop. Well, today was the day!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cotton Yarn, Remnants from other projects. This is Lily, Sugar and Cream, but any Worsted Weight Cotton would do nicely for this. I used a 3.0 mm hook for the cotton layers, I want serious durability for this item, it will be used often.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one is unique, as it has a metal screw, holding the mop to the handle. While I am not a fan, because of the rust factor, it is not generally an issue that puts a person at serious risk of illness. It just is not pretty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0aUufF5FtD1EqXXq2Sn8ZA6GvmGp_PpowZDJaOA-OhREdBPZT4VZZsADz6hBnoBafr7jiBiom-NyTa92Adr6xIgdQQ9qLMpE54ayaKv-UXYxtZ_JB8yOQxQBHjaU-lAjorUEmlxoYWk/s1600/20160501_082520+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0aUufF5FtD1EqXXq2Sn8ZA6GvmGp_PpowZDJaOA-OhREdBPZT4VZZsADz6hBnoBafr7jiBiom-NyTa92Adr6xIgdQQ9qLMpE54ayaKv-UXYxtZ_JB8yOQxQBHjaU-lAjorUEmlxoYWk/s320/20160501_082520+-+Copy.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
So here it is, all taken apart. The original was 8 layers of sponge, and weird scubby pads, that honestly had little to no chance of being able to hold up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYkpwAvEFrNvUpRzCwnA2lrx-13g-4nbfLWuhcfe0AtGv3WIBlzmUF2ihFm9cKD8fo0suIQIPQlw30gkJLnP88iFfm5inO14LdM76y0d5cUYxdNMcSULzmoTPoj4-ojkFLlABuCRlIRDM/s1600/20160501_083138+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYkpwAvEFrNvUpRzCwnA2lrx-13g-4nbfLWuhcfe0AtGv3WIBlzmUF2ihFm9cKD8fo0suIQIPQlw30gkJLnP88iFfm5inO14LdM76y0d5cUYxdNMcSULzmoTPoj4-ojkFLlABuCRlIRDM/s320/20160501_083138+-+Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
For my center, I wanted it to be smaller than the rest of the mop, some of my tall glasses narrow at the bottom. I want to be able to reach the bottom with a washing surface.<br />
<br />
For this piece: MAKE 2<br />
<br />
Ch 4, join to form ring. *Ch 4, dtr in ring twice, ch 4, sl st in ring* Repeat between * 3 times, for a total of 4 petals. Cut yarn, and weave in tails.<br />
<br />

This layer is whimsical, and fun, and ever so helpful. the cotton chain loops will get mooshed down into the rolls and crevises of some of our favorite glasses. You know, the ones that you hate to see the kids use for milk, but their favorite to grab.<br />
<br />
For this piece: Make 1<br />
<br />
Ch 4, join to form ring. *ch 15, sl st to center ring* Repeat between * 11 times, for a total of 12 loops. Cut the yarn, and weave in the ends. A bit tough, as it is only a chain surface, but you do not want the end loose, and hanging, so do it..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQBgYEUENTn5JHSAdsrqhFPbiBdP8I084g-BKb_I82GATNXYBkvJiZlcEUYBG0wg2H7m1i24tSOKF3RniqlVgWPDaFQ6tBGmBDbv4E3zHcum_5RYtoxzU-yRSUPfbePIl1pFxzDtMnEY/s1600/20160501_085635+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQBgYEUENTn5JHSAdsrqhFPbiBdP8I084g-BKb_I82GATNXYBkvJiZlcEUYBG0wg2H7m1i24tSOKF3RniqlVgWPDaFQ6tBGmBDbv4E3zHcum_5RYtoxzU-yRSUPfbePIl1pFxzDtMnEY/s320/20160501_085635+-+Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Now for the FUN: More up cycling, or re-purposing. This layer is made from the plastic mesh bag my grand daughters flavor pops come in. You can find similar mesh bags on other items in the grocery store. White ones are often on the frozen Turkey, sometimes the red ones can be found with potatoes, or Onions in the Produce section. Some are really soft, and will not give you a very scratchy product, which may be great for your Crystal, or China. You can use Tulle for this layer as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Start by pulling the bag into a skinny tube, and cutting it into bits, about an inch wide. Don't go smaller, it stretches into a thin strip that works out perfectly for this project.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once cut, you have rounds that need to be joined to turn it into the long strand you can crochet with.<br />

Think of making plarn for joining these loops of plastic mesh. If you need help, I am sure YouTube will have a video. Oh, Kara from petalstopicot.com offered this one. Love that it is labeled Green.<br />

Scrubbing layer, Make 1<br />
For the foundation of this layer, Using the WW cotton, Ch 4, join to form a ring. *ch 5, sc in the center ring.* Repeat between * 4 times, for a total of 5 loops<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnM0K1Cs68AHKfjAl36grReRTHD4dywBoIAhlGDxkGvK5jdiw3qCaVWVaYvoFkpf9HilB0BnVuMCpJG4lE1HFQHLIREMlpM5sl00HMs4h2YiZUKS54-4BQSmskmUO2k0aMrBqLzKhiV8/s1600/20160501_094358+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnM0K1Cs68AHKfjAl36grReRTHD4dywBoIAhlGDxkGvK5jdiw3qCaVWVaYvoFkpf9HilB0BnVuMCpJG4lE1HFQHLIREMlpM5sl00HMs4h2YiZUKS54-4BQSmskmUO2k0aMrBqLzKhiV8/s320/20160501_094358+-+Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
For the scratchy portion of this layer, Use a larger hook, to make the process easier. I used an 8.0mm<br />
<br />
Join to any of the ch 5 loops, *ch 7, sl st to same loop, ch 5, sl st to same loop, Ch 7, sl st to next loop. Ch 5, sl st to same loop,* Repeat between * 4 times, for a total of 5 groups of 4 scratchy chains. I pulled the longer loops toward the bottom, and the shorter ones up as I got ready to layer the mop, but it really is not required.<br />

<br />
For the bottom layer, Make 1<br />
<br />
Using the cotton yarn, and the 3.0mm hook,<br />
ch 4, join to form a loop.<br />
1) ch 3, 17 dc in center loop. sl st to top of ch 3.<br />
2) ch 3, dc in same *dc in next st, 2 dc in next st.* repeat around, alternating 1 dc, 2 dc. sl st to the top of ch 3 to end the round.<br />
3) repeat round 2<br />
4) *ch 5, sk 1 dc, sc in next.* repeat between * around, placing final sc in base of first ch 5.<br />
Cut yarn, and bury the ends somewhere in the midst of all those dc. :)<br />
This is not Flat, but not really cup shaped either, just slightly domed.<br />

When I put it together the first time, I only had 1 of the first layer, it was okay, but really I wanted more, thus the instructions tell you to make 2.<br />

Put your layers together, on the screw head, using the center loop. Insert screw in handle, Tighten with screwdriver, and get those dishes out of the sink, so you can have a good day!<br />

The odds are, you do not have a handle like this just laying around, but what about fabricating one. I was thinking a wooden dowel, but it could get skanky, if you leave it in the dish water, Maybe an old toothbrush? and a self threading screw? You would need a washer that would help to hold the layers flush. Just cut the brush head off with a fine tooth hand saw. </div>

I hope you enjoy this pattern, and will look for ways in your world to use what is on hand, to make your day better.

Hi There<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting me today. I want to share one of my "cheats" when working texture in a design.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> Sometimes, 2 stitches in one, just does not look right, so my answer is simply to place it<b> Between the posts.</b> It really is that simple, but as nature has it, our brains seize. We have established practices, and this is not part of that. Let's take a quick walk through it, so you are not suffering seizures when you see this in a pattern.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuIkL3PogFK08K4ZgKgW5TJzH1V9cM-2TjWc-iCE2Gt4pwykChh7CBwdo4tiJLls2JlA8iAzXXKTONaiIYGTd8f2JERB7xA_xuzNbpR5fiJZrvIZnXdgFB7_UhaNEzN7Xiod0UhbeSuoA/s1600/IMG_6680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuIkL3PogFK08K4ZgKgW5TJzH1V9cM-2TjWc-iCE2Gt4pwykChh7CBwdo4tiJLls2JlA8iAzXXKTONaiIYGTd8f2JERB7xA_xuzNbpR5fiJZrvIZnXdgFB7_UhaNEzN7Xiod0UhbeSuoA/s320/IMG_6680.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
In this Post, I am not increasing the total number of stitches, but replacing stitches removed in a decrease. This is to produce a textural pattern in the design.<br />
<br />
I will be using this sample to demonstrate, it is not part of any pattern, just a swatch I was playing with.<br />
<br />
You may be able to detect the Textural pattern, and in the next few steps, the texture will come alive.It will spring off the top with force, Not because of the stitches used, but because of the placement of them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcArXEXJ6v3vXWCV-O4lLKpAUc855dw3aSTH3tVCMhwdyB7SSLLMpF8l4v00Ncf3HCXw6Si01FqduU5HlRdxoQfWfYRIWOlyZp5ITnVzjp__e4SNj8EaYTwdNc-LmInnHNUYLk7vYh_cw/s1600/IMG_6694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcArXEXJ6v3vXWCV-O4lLKpAUc855dw3aSTH3tVCMhwdyB7SSLLMpF8l4v00Ncf3HCXw6Si01FqduU5HlRdxoQfWfYRIWOlyZp5ITnVzjp__e4SNj8EaYTwdNc-LmInnHNUYLk7vYh_cw/s320/IMG_6694.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
I manipulated colors here, so the spots I want you to look at are more defined.<br />
<br />
When I join the yarn for the next round, I will initiate the between the post technique. I will put the first stitch between the posts, right next to the FPdc, shown toward the left side of the photo.<br />
See the lower strand? My hook will go below that. Just as if I were going to make another post stitch; Rather than push the hook back to the front to form my stitch, I will grab the working yarn from the back to make the double crochet right there.<br />
<br />

quick and easy, ch 2, or, if you prefer, ch 3 for a dc.<br />
<br />
For this example, the next 3 st will be worked to together,<br />
<br />
<br />

I am not spending a lot of time on this part, but wanted to show the way this flows.<br />
<br />
From this point, you would yarn over, pulling through all 4 loops on the hook. I tend to ch 1, and pull it (the chain) tight, to encourage the point.<br />
<br />
Now let's get back to the topic of this posting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKLc5j7JxOyyY_fGaImYR_UC7pDMKDo7MU21l-Ro3Mt08Rw7ybbdblQBp1id6viwHb4V-iu9UYYR3t1jOpStEoi9M_lWylbmN9TJlz_jFlPju2WTcZTGEcokKcauAcq8g1EAyXe38PcgE/s1600/IMG_6698.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKLc5j7JxOyyY_fGaImYR_UC7pDMKDo7MU21l-Ro3Mt08Rw7ybbdblQBp1id6viwHb4V-iu9UYYR3t1jOpStEoi9M_lWylbmN9TJlz_jFlPju2WTcZTGEcokKcauAcq8g1EAyXe38PcgE/s320/IMG_6698.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Notice where I started the dc, it is below the 3 strands that form the top of the stitch, so<br />
<br />
<br />
"Between The Posts"<br />
<br />
<br />
I was not kidding when I said it was that easy<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7QVvyHLw4tln9hu7n8oetQlWiUBVbwUhkVNiCJkzbolBnFyf9RXhUejk45MxfSED9SPsr0WZ4QjWME9b6E00hXDP_0Hb9EgBYFc-Y7I1Wj-l2Wxyi8JK-VwTPcuIliim3RHOeSc338I/s1600/IMG_6699.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7QVvyHLw4tln9hu7n8oetQlWiUBVbwUhkVNiCJkzbolBnFyf9RXhUejk45MxfSED9SPsr0WZ4QjWME9b6E00hXDP_0Hb9EgBYFc-Y7I1Wj-l2Wxyi8JK-VwTPcuIliim3RHOeSc338I/s320/IMG_6699.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The next st goes in the normal place, below the two top strands, but above the lower one<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbvdAugYB8Op2KO3rlX-ffZnsiGzCUYhUpSN_T54ppkmmNZUTEclzDqkQGr2K5hrAtslnf-Yas_mTUxFchigO4FnPXTPVGG2uDMEIL-u1IDJS7q7LzM3kQDhQriYK7J9knfjDqTaJrRTE/s1600/IMG_6700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbvdAugYB8Op2KO3rlX-ffZnsiGzCUYhUpSN_T54ppkmmNZUTEclzDqkQGr2K5hrAtslnf-Yas_mTUxFchigO4FnPXTPVGG2uDMEIL-u1IDJS7q7LzM3kQDhQriYK7J9knfjDqTaJrRTE/s320/IMG_6700.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Now you can see, The area between the post stitches went from 2 stitches to 4, filling the space created by decreasing the post stitches, and increasing between them.<br />
<br />
In this particular situation, the final stitch count is the same as the previous round. By shifting the placement, we now have textural pattern, supported by a background of flat stitches.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

A second angle, to help accent the variance in texture.<br />
<br />
Life is full of opportunities to venture beyond the norm.<br />

I will be releasing a few patterns in the next few weeks that will use this process.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">where did 2015 go? </span> last I had clear understanding was May, when I boarded the flight to Columbus Ohio for TNNA. I digress. wherever the year went, it left behind an abundance of tell tale signs; dirt grime, and other undesirable residue. It is way past time to clean it up. <br />

As we move from the warm weather, into the colder months here in the United States, I am once again torn. I love crochet, and the need of warm garments encourages people to pull out their hooks. But I hate the cold. If I could create a moderate year round climate, I surely would.<br />
<br />
We need Hats for our children. to keep their body heat in, helping them stay healthy, and happy. If we can make them unique, it is all the better. <br />
This pattern is moderately easy. Listed as Intermediate, because of the Post Stitches, It is entirely doable in a couple of hours, for most crocheters comfortable with FP stitches.<br />
<br />
TO make this hat, you will need:<br />

See how the white rides behind the ribbed stitches, amplifying the 3D effect? Try this with any color combo, Maybe a Soft Blue, and a Black for the even rounds? Or Pink and Grey? Maybe an Orange and Green? the colors are so endless. Just be sure to check your gauge (I gave the measurement at the end of the increase rounds.) Not all #4 yarns will give you the same gauge. You will need to check yours to be sure the final hat will be appropriate sized.</span></div>

I am going to be doing a practice run through on the 10, so that when time is short on Halloween itself, I won't be in over my head, trying to keep a promise I had no business making.<br />
<br />
Besides, it is sort of fun to play, and get all crazy with the kids, don't you think?<br />
<br />
Hey, if this is something that sounds like fun, you can click on this, and use the code to get a month free. Who knows, maybe there is something you want to do for your little?<br />

Have You Seen This Design?</h2>
<div>
I was invited back to challenge in round 6 of Battle of the stitches.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The challenge was posed to the others to de-throne me, I giggled. With the talented group involved, I had no pumped up ego, I knew I would not be doing a victory dance this round, </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we learned the theme, and then the stitch, Well, let's just say the design worked itself out in record time. The longest part was waiting for the yarn to arrive.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What does your heart line say about you?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The heart line is a line read in palmistry, it is the line that’s below the index finger or middle finger (depending on how long yours is) and extends to the edge of your palm underneath your little finger. Match your heart line with the one that most closely matches </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">yours on the image.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Read below to find out.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />A: If your heart line begins below your middle finger, you’re more of a leader. You’re ambitious, independent, intelligent and have the skill to make decisions. You’re less sensitive and more cold to others. You enjoy spending time alone. You make a loyal and true friend, you are a very passionate person when you let people get close to you.<br /><br />B: If your heart line starts between the middle finger and index finger, you’re a considerate and kind person. You’re hesitant and cautious with new people and find it hard to trust but people tend to naturally trust you. You use common sense in decisions and weigh up the pros and cons before jumping into anything. You have a lot of friends from all kinds of backgrounds.<br /><br />C: If your heart line goes right across the hand and turns up at the end you tend to give everything to a relationship, you love with all your heart, you put your partner, your family and friends above everything else and want to make them happy. People love to be around you. You have a warmth that make people feel comfortable in your company.<br /><br />D: If your heart line goes across your whole hand and turns down at the end, You are a person who doesn’t fall in love easily, you want to be with someone who fulfills you heart, mind, body and soul, you won’t settle for anything less, but when you do fall in love you fall hard and deep. Your friends will often turn to you for advice.</span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Many of the characteristics explained in B are accurate, and appropriate to me, and my life's history.</span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Closer to the heart, and the Heart line is a cross, between A, and D.</span><br />

Is this a commonality for others, Who knows, but it was an interesting observation, and I wanted to share.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

Maybe it is the true expression of me, and how my heart works. Maybe I am still a work in progress.</span><br />

The call came out for challengers in round 6. I declined, So much on my plate. I really had no notion that I would be capable of doing it all.<br />
<br />
The moment I did, I had second thoughts. I Love participating in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BattleoftheStitches?fref=ts">Battle of the Stitches</a><br />
to see designs created in Previous Rounds, <a href="https://www.battleofthestitches.com/">Visit the Blog here</a><br />
<br />
Looking at the dates, checking my deadlines, I thought it might be fun to judge this round. I put in my offer to judge.<br />
<br />
Then, another chance to compete. The feeling that I should had been speaking to me for days. <br />

As I headed out to get on the airplane for TNNA in Columbus, I learned the theme for the round. <br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Life was doing it's thing. It happens with me on a frequent basis. God gives me what I need, in order to deal with the things I have to accept. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While I enjoyed my time connecting, meeting real people, talking in real time with real voices, seeing body language, and getting to share smiles with so many other hard working designers and bloggers, I had an experience of complete lustful indulgence. I met YARN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Please do not misunderstand me here. I have played with some nice yarn before this experience, But this was YARN. probably 20,000 square feet of YARN.Tiny booths, and some not so tiny, Brands I had heard of, and those I had not. Let's just say it was a bit bigger than I ever imagined. I had the opportunity to touch, feel, and smell different products. Cottons, Acrylics, Hemp, Bamboo, Silk, and so many variations of Wool. Then, we have the Blends, my goodness, the Blends, Silk and wool, Polyester and Cotton, Wool and a multitude of other fibers. Good grief, there are no boundaries, and I have a whole new platform to explore, and learn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I kept thinking about the challenge, which would start just after my return home. I kept looking at product, with Serenity on my mind. I had a feel, a look, a texture, a sheen in mind. So many products came close. So many offered snippets into the vision I had going; and yet there was often a missed element that deemed it unacceptable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wondered, Seriously, if there was such a product, of if it were one of those perfect world fantasy ideals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, While standing in a booth with Jessie Rayot, I found the right product. Or should I say it found me. In a basket, attached to a portable wall, about hip high, I turned, and bumped into it. It had a special softness. There was a comfortable aroma to the yarn. A renewable product, Airy, Light, Breathable. The color palette was superb, offering warm tones, Cool tones and a plethora of variegated options, And, it was not terribly expensive. The only difficulty would be choosing. I was ready to commit. Except, I could not. I did not know what the stitch might be. While this product was so perfect for the theme, what if the stitch were such it would never work? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As is often the case, One of the challengers was able to guess the stitch on Monday, June 1. I got a text message on my phone about 4:00pm. The showroom floor had closed at 2:00. It would have to wait until I got home, I would have to risk it. There was no way to swatch it ahead of time, and get a true feel for how and what. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once home, I set out with several yarn samples, playing with the stitches, putting a few repeats, and a few rows together. never really liking what came of it. Then, after I set it down to help my grand baby girl get ready for bed, I SAW IT. The entire design unfolded, in all it's splendor, and simplicity. It screamed at me. It was so blatantly obvious. Oh holy wow wow. Now to shut my mouth, for fear someone else will see it, capitalize on it, employ the same logic. No way that can happen. A friendly competition. Yes, yes it is. Working together to build business, Yes, all the way. An opportunity to show off our creative spirit, Yes, in due time. But for the time being, I have to keep quiet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I ordered the yarn, and had to wait for the mail. so difficult. Once it arrived, I had to work out the tiny details, It was actually a quick process, and voila the design took root, and grew, all by itself. I wish it were me that could take credit, I really do, but this is not my work, this is me, being open to the things here on earth that offer Serenity to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is me, being blessed. It is me, engulfed in Serenity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">No pictures, no full disclosure, just the story. You will have to wait for the reveals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am excited, I want to share, but, I have to follow the rules.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hang in there, voting opens next week.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As you read through the pattern you just bought, the tension begins to rise. This is crazy, what the heck???</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Is this for real??? I can't do that. The doubt begins to rise, and frankly, your personal defences kick in, and the designer is labeled as nuts.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">But wait, there are pictures from several people here. some of the names attached are people I chat with in a group. I am as good as they are. If they can figure this out, I can too. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So you grab the yarn, and begin. then, about the time you begin to feel confident, the idea of working stitches in unconventional places does not seem quite so difficult; you are hit with </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">FPdc2tog. What the Heck????????</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Has to be a typo, never heard of it. back to calling the designer an idiot.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Well, hold your tongue, it is not a typo, and it is not hard to do. just break it down, and work the stitch.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Let's do a FPdc2tog together</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">First of all, I am assuming you are familiar with the concept of decreasing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">You make the fabric smaller, by taking 2 stitches down to one stitch. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">for a quick video on that, please visit this <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/decreases-sc2tog-and-dc2tog/">video on Mooglyblog.com</a></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As in any dc2tog, you begin to work the stitch on the first st indicated, keeping the last loop on the hook. then work the beginning of the stitch on the next one, also holding the last loop.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">the difference in this is that you are working around the post, instead of through the top of the stitch.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So lets do that:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">After yarning over, and pulling through the first two loops, we now have 2 first halves of front post dc.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">3 loops on the hook.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Yup, as you expected, you yarn over, and pull through all three loops on the hook.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Just incase you are still here, let's look at a couple more details, that may play into the pattern you are working.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">See how the top of the stitch lays together? All three loops stack together to form a point, similar to a dart in a fabric blouse? seeing something here?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> When you add the next stitch to your fabric, you really begin to see how the character of the fabric differs. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Following direction is about trust. trust in yourself, and the person creating the pattern.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">It is not always perfect, as we are only human, </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">If you find it does not work out right, set it down for a bit, then re-read it. did you miss something?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">No? it just does not look right? then by all means, reach out to the designer, (ME) ask for guidance.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Be sure you cite the pattern, the row or round number, and your question. typing out the entire instruction is a waste of time and energy.I Have the pattern, and can look it up if needed, but explaining yourself is what is needed. A Picture of what yours looks like is worth 4 Million words. <b>not at an angle</b>, Lay your work flat on a table, or floor, center the issue in the viewfinder straight over it, and click. Send that image with your question.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I want you to get it.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">And one more point. If you send your question to me at 2:00PM, depending upon where you are in the world, I may not see it for a few hours. I may be sleeping, I may be at my granddaughters school, I may be at the grocery store. It is not my intent to ignore you, but the entire world is not in the same time zone, and I do have a life in addition to my work.

Two Patterns have been published for your enjoyment!</h2>
<div>
They are very different, They both speak to me, the inspiration is from a similar place, an inner desire, something very tangible, within myself. The manifestation of missing loved ones, being distanced from family and friends. Both are Fantastic Designs. </div>

The Higher Power Silk Prayer Shawl</h4>
<div>
Worked in sport weight <a href="http://thesilkdrop.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=217" target="_blank">Sparkle Silk</a> from <a href="http://thesilkdrop.com/store/" target="_blank">The Silk Drop</a></div>

An amazing product. I completely loved working with it. The hanks are HUGE, at about 400 yds, this is actually a very affordable shawl. Check out the<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheSilkDrop?fref=ts" target="_blank"> Silk Drop facebook page</a> for the code to get an even better price on this yarn. :D At the time of this post, the code is in the pinned post on top of the page.</div>

Design inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes you can pinpoint it's origin, others, there is no clear source, but more a feeling, or emotion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently, I found myself feeling nostalgic, I was playing with yarn, as I do, every day. a design formulating, Retro, Fun, Bright. Without wanting to tip anyone off to exact shape and form, I started chatting with a group about thoughts evoked with particular keywords.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be Happy</span> was used in one of the replies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, that brought a smile, how could it not?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I learned from the yarn company that my efforts were going into a soon to be discontinued product, I got discouraged, and set it aside. This happens a lot more often than I want to think about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fast forward a few days. May 5th, 2015, again feeling that twinge of nostalgia, on Youtube, listening to the songs that I hope will evoke a good cry, so I can get over this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Up pops <span style="font-size: large;">Don't Worry, Be Happy</span> in the suggested tunes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, that brought a smile, How could it not?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In less than half the song's duration came the vision. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Who is this man? Bob Marley, A name I know, my grown kids all have varying reverence. It was the question</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A quick Google Search revealed So MUCH more than I ever thought about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Doing something to express the feelings bombarding my brain was paramount.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had missed his Birthday, but, it was just a few days to the anniversary of his passing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have a personal attitude, that is fretful. I worry the warts off a toad. always questioning, always challenging myself, and those close to me. I never settle. I could so use a dose of the peace this man found.</div>

Maybe it is my own concoction, (no, cuz my Grandmother taught me over 40 years ago) but I can in all good conscience say I have not seen it used by another designer. I finally came up with a name that fits</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> For this method, no matter what the shape of the item, all our stitches are worked from the front of the piece, going in one direction, with no turns. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgemHqymqTyDRcnD0iGqWRObCy147-leLya-sKO8jEoOPr9N3TYhSQ8cPA5V6Ljhf04mPMEavodc1uxVG4DjlDVskL9alevIKFbEKSHiPLH96kg5MQeBmBhtBjpzt9vlCpK_CwFLWG1jQI/s1600/IMG_4483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgemHqymqTyDRcnD0iGqWRObCy147-leLya-sKO8jEoOPr9N3TYhSQ8cPA5V6Ljhf04mPMEavodc1uxVG4DjlDVskL9alevIKFbEKSHiPLH96kg5MQeBmBhtBjpzt9vlCpK_CwFLWG1jQI/s1600/IMG_4483.JPG" height="254" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Notice where the green hook is positioned. The top of the post forms a v shaped pocket, directly in the center, under the top two loops, and between the two that form the V, So, in the Center. Your hook goes here to make the stitch in the proper place.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So, now you have it. My newest contribution to the concept that there is no wrong way to crochet. Some of us are just different about it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a wonderful stitch that offers height, is regal, stands at attention. This stitch technique does not stretch as much as the traditional stitch does. I love it, and as I said, I use it often in my designs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a version I use for projects are worked in turned rows as well, That will be another post, and I will link here when it is completed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Unique Stitches, and Crochet Patterns that use them<br />
<br />
Today, I am bringing you some different ideas, Regular Crochet Stitches, with a twist, either placed in unique places, or in some cases, just a slight variation in how the stitch is constructed to begin with.<br />
<br />
Crochet is such personal art form. So many people, so many options, never a wrong answer, but your results may differ from the intention.<br />
<br />
As Always, take the time to work a swatch on any fitted item. This will give you a feel for the way the stitch is worked, as well as confirming the scale is correct for what you are creating.<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=gramscrea-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00NRF2R2E&asins=B00NRF2R2E&linkId=WCZLPL35DWMSQCYE&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">
</iframe>
In this first design, there are several oddities that jump right off the screen at me.<br />
<br />
Spiraling Out of Control, is an original design from MNE Crafts.<a href="http://www.mnecrafts.com/2014/08/spiraling-out-of-control-beanie.html" target="_blank"> The free pattern is found on her blog</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpQ15B7IkQC3k5D1z1TRX1_cHNwGsrg_DD3Jx4Ii6V1a-0MPg1Tx6IRsH78Zyi0i1OKXBw8pDhIko2tNzLvQR444Am2z-LtBJpEt3Fofy16SHpIuyb-slxRBOVSuyqtoD6YFJVjKCt7U/s1600/Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpQ15B7IkQC3k5D1z1TRX1_cHNwGsrg_DD3Jx4Ii6V1a-0MPg1Tx6IRsH78Zyi0i1OKXBw8pDhIko2tNzLvQR444Am2z-LtBJpEt3Fofy16SHpIuyb-slxRBOVSuyqtoD6YFJVjKCt7U/s1600/Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Ignoring the concept that this is worked in Red Heart Reflective Yarn, This design screams distinction. coupling the yarn choice ups the ante, don't you think?<br />
<br />
This<a href="http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/12/not-knit-warm-and-quick-winter-cowl.html" target="_blank"> Not Knit Warm and Quick Cowl,</a> offered by Oombawka Designs is a style I just love. Ubber Soft, Mega Cozy, and ever so pretty. The placement of traditional stitches employed in this design creates a very Knit look. It is a technique I employ in some of my designs too. I have used it more for accent, so seeing a whole design worked this way was enlightening.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/NotKnitCowl-681x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/NotKnitCowl-681x1024.jpg" height="640" width="424" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This <a href="http://www.crochetkim.com/patterns/waves-scarf.html" target="_blank">Waves Scarf, from Crochet Kim</a> would seem to be a variation of Broomstick Lace, and Chain Lace, and the result is pure magic. So delicate, light and fun. Imagine, if just for a moment, you had unlimited funds to create this scarf, what product would you reach for? While generally I shy away from multi-color yarns, I have begun to work them in too. Kim's design is an inspiration to forge forward with it.</div>

Tangled Happy has just released this<a href="http://www.tangledhappy.com/2015/01/chunky-pom-pom-beanie.html" target="_blank"> Chunky Pom-Pom Beanie.</a><br />
While the stitches are becoming more common, it is the blend that allows this design space on the page today. I am always into discovering ways to texture-ize my work. I would say it hits a grand slam for my mind.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am also bringing you a link for an interesting stitch Sara Dugan brought to my attention this last week.<br />

Change the yarn, work with a different hook, Venture out there, BUT, if you stray from the written pattern, and run into trouble, do not expect the original designer to bail you out. be nice enough to know it is not their job to help you redesign it to suit you.</div>

4.The Small Talk Shawl is, in my opinion, Misnamed. This is a<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=924082&b=253536&m=29190&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Ecraftsy%2Ecom%2Fpattern%2Fcrocheting%2Faccessory%2Fsmall%2Dtalk%2Dshawl%2F120976" target="_blank"> Free PDF download</a> is one you want, even if you are not a fan of Shawls now. Notice the shape, and the beautiful stitch pattern. It is not a Pineapple, but has similar structure. Then feast your eyes on the border. Is that not dreamy?</div>

Now this is a pleasure for me to share. I have recently discovered <a href="http://charmedbyewe.com/" target="_blank">Charmed By Ewe</a>. Janaya is not new to the design world, but she is not one of those trump everything sort of designers. She seems to sit in the shadows, allowing her designs to speak for her. May I just say, This matched pair talks to me. If you have a whimsical side, you are very likely going to love the use of Pom Poms, and the Celtic Stitch pattern is so strong, but not at all imposing.</div>

We are fast approaching the New Year. Can you believe 2015 is less than a week away?<br />
Not that i want to date myself, but I remember when Prince released "<a href="http://vimeo.com/100003364" target="_blank">Gonna Party like it's 1999</a>" the first time, Which was in 1982. Yes, I know, I am ancient, older than dirt, but that is another story. The point is, we are nearing that resolution week again. When we make promises to ourselves, and others. Our intentions are good, we even start off gang-busters, but then, old habits, or living life seem to get in the way.<br />
<br />
If your resolution is to learn new things, I would encourage you to answer the call to action.<br />
<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=924082&b=253536&m=29190&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Ecraftsy%2Ecom%2F%3F%5Fct%3Dwberqbdql%2Dbewe" target="_blank">Craftsy</a> is offering reduced prices on all their online classes. <br />
I would have never guessed the array available. I knew about sewing, crochet, knitting and even cake decorating and photography, <br />

This one has an 8 minute meet the instructor, this is the tool session, and then the other 6 are much more involved, hovering at the 30 minute mark. No, not all buttons are created with a router, but if you know how to work it, imagine how many additional styles you can create.<br />
<br />
You never loose access to your class, Once you purchase it, you can watch, or not until you are so forgetful you do not know how to turn on the computer. (or mobile device, remember, I am ancient. I remember pay phones with rotary dials)<br />
<br />
This is your call to action. Don't put off what you want to do. Plan to execute the plan. Purchase the class you really want to take, while they are on sale. Some Free as well.<br />
<br />
Sitting on your hands thinking about it, will only bring us back to a post like this in 365 days<br />
<br />
Now for some great Crochet Patterns<br />

<br />
One of my favorite things to do with my granddaughter Allie, is our Bed Time reading.<br />
<br />
As she begins her own reading experience, I smile, as she clumsily works through a page in her reader. I high five her, I congratulate her, I grin, and often wipe out a tear or two. I swear, I am the most sentimental woman on earth, and yet, I know I am not alone.<br />
<br />
This is not the same though. Bed time reading is her, with her stuffie, snuggled under the covers while Grammy reads. For just over a year, it has been Magic Tree House Books. We have read each that we can get our hands on, repeatedly<br />
She recently discovered Junie B. Jones, She laughs, right on cue. She gets it, and relates to the character. Today, I decided that it is time for us to read one of my FAVORITES<br />
<br />
I will be ordering this<br />

The 1945 book, written by E.B. White. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Little">Click here</a> to read Wikipedia's write up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, it is only fitting that with the story, Allie should also have a new stuffie to hang onto during story time.<br />
<br />
It just so happens, I came across a free pattern for one.<br />
<br />
<br />

Now we all know That Stuart Little is a white mouse, I will need to purchase white yarn to make one to represent Stuart, I can do that quite easily<br />
<br />
<br />
The pattern calls for Lion Brand, Vanna Choice, <br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=gramscrea-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00PK8XTLO&asins=B00PK8XTLO&linkId=FVUFRQJFA3QTN3DH&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">
</iframe><br />
<br />
I also know I need an F crochet hook. I have a Boye, but I so want to try this one<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=gramscrea-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B008J13ZZY&asins=B008J13ZZY&linkId=YJYVLSUJUXPC2DXD&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">
</iframe><br />
And a pair of scissors, Always a must. I have been known to use nail clippers when I am out somewhere without mine. Not always the best cut.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=gramscrea-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00MMOBARY&asins=B00MMOBARY&linkId=QRCF4WXXCSPOET6B&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">
</iframe> <br />
<br />
There may be additional needs in the pattern, I have not spent but just a second looking it over.<br />
<br />
With the links I have shared here, book, and the toy, is $15.46. I would spend that much, or more, taking her to see the movie, While it would be fun, it would be over, done, and lost in no time.<br />
<br />
He is so cute, and I can so see my grand daughter giggling about parts of the story, as she bounces the toy mouse around in the air. Her imagination is developing, she is gaining a sense of humor, she is growing so fast. If I am going to get to do this for her, and with her, I best not dawdle. She is 6, it will not be too long before she no longer needs, or wants me to snuggle her in, and read every night.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope that I may have inspired you. This may not be the story you want to read with your special little one, but the library, and or your favorite book source has the one you do think of. Often there are patterns out there for the characters, Or, as I have, you simply modify what is there to suit. Reading is FUNdeMental.<br />
<br />
<br />
Until Next time<br />
