Free Crochet Pattern

Free Pattern

I've been busy updating my kitchen with new dishcloths, towels, sponges and scrubbies.  Because I love the texture and it's super easy to do, the slanted shell is my go-to stitch for cloths and scrubbies.  

While working on a colorful stack of new cloths, I decided to jot down the pattern for when I want to make a few more down the road.    More times than I care to admit, I think to myself, "Oh, I'll remember how to do that,"  only to find out later that I don't.  So it's back to counting stitches, starting chains, rows, etc.  Then I have to swatch to determine hook size.....too much trouble.  

As a result, I just released my first free pattern of 2015.   It's super easy and includes instructions for spa/kitchen cloths and eco-sponges.  It has charted and written instructions, and can be downloaded for free here Go-to Spa or Kitchen Set.  Enjoy!

Happy and healthy 2015 to everyone. 

Frost Flowers

September has gone and fall has arrived.  Unfortunately, things haven't slowed down around here.  I am beginning to see a little light at the end of the tunnel in our remodeling projects.  Though it seems that when one project is done, we find two more to do.

I did take some time to test and release my latest pattern, Frost Flower Cowl Set.  I designed this set thinking of Christmas gifts.  I used a reasonably priced yarn, Paton's Lace and Paton's Lace Sequin, and the set makes up quickly.  

My teen granddaughter gave it a thumbs up.  She especially liked the tiny pink sequins in the flowers.  The whole set took one skein of Paton's Lace in soft sage, and one skein of Paton's Lace in pink diamond.

The pattern can be found on my Ravelry pattern page and is $2 off  through Sunday, 10/5 .  No coupon is needed.  The discount will come off when you place the pattern in your cart.
