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

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.

Sunday Crochet: My Beginning

Welcome to Sunday Crochet! 

Towel Toppers made by Helen 

My Beginning:  When I was a young teen, I remember my Grandmother giving Towel Toppers as gifts and how handy they are to have hanging in a kitchen. She was the only one in my family that crocheted and when she died her traditional Towel Toppers went with her.

Until 2002, a few months before Christmas, I decided to make my Grandmothers Towel Toppers and give them to my family as part of their Christmas gifts but I needed to learn how to crochet first.
