Sunday Crochet: August 3

Hello everyone and welcome to Sunday Crochet!  It’s hard to believe that August is already upon us and Christmas is about 4 ½ months away. That tells me that I better get busy and start crocheting those gifts before it’s too late.  

My trouble is crocheting a scarf or blanket in the middle of summer when it’s 85 degrees outside.  However, we (Helen, Sheila, and I) came up with a great gift idea that is quick, easy, and very useful… a Potholder.

You can’t have to many of these hanging around the kitchen.  We found a great pattern from Yarnspirations website that is simple

Etsy Treasury by Working Artists Team 1

Good Morning! Working Artists Promotion Team on Etsy, was started by my good friends Debbie and her husband John from Thunder Rose Leather.  With over 500 members listing, creating, and selling… they find the time to help one another promote!  That’s what this team is about (hint the team name… lol) PROMOTING!

One way members can promote one another is creating an Etsy Treasury. I did a search yesterday and there are more than 1600 fabulous Working Artists Team Treasuries on Etsy.  Nice work everyone! Which brings me to this post… from time to time I will post a Treasury Collection for you my teammates… Enjoy and here we go…

Sunday Crochet: Headbands, Ruffles Scarfs, and Market Bags… Oh my!

Hello my friends and welcome to Sunday Crochet!  

Our little crochet club meets every Sunday afternoon, to share what we have finished, or learn a new stitch or start a new pattern.

A couple weeks ago Helen found this Market Bag pattern on the AllFreeCrochet site.  The Pattern is part of an E-book called ‘Scrap Yarn and One Skien Crochet Patterns’.  The picture on the left is the Market-Bag from AllFreeCrochet.

The pattern was pretty simple and the bag works up really fast, so fast Shelia and Helen finished their bags within a week. I finally finished mine this past week… Go Figure! lol

Next is this sweet, very versatile Ruffle Scarf by Shelia. She loves making these ruffle scarfs, almost as much as she loves giving them to friends and family.
