Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite… Week 9

.

This week’s Facebook Fan Favorite doesn’t surprise me a bit!!!  I have been wanting to make it for several months and it looks like all of you over on Facebook do too!  This week was another landslide… All the Free Patterns in the “Would you use this? Would you make it? Tell me what you think…” segment have been over the moon… But this weeks favorite was the biggest hit to date…  So,,, Here it is...  Crochet African Flower Pincushion!  This adorable pincushion is from Sandra over at Cherry Heart Crochet… You can find it on Ravelry for the written pattern or… On her site she has a full photo tutorial!  Lovely!!

Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite…. Week 8

The best thing about today is… Looking at the past week’s segment’s of Free Patterns!!!!  I love Crochet!!!!  And, I love seeing what everyone is creating… If you haven’t checked in over on Facebook… You have been missing alot of fun!  Each day I host a segment called… “Would you wear it, would you make it? Tell me what you think… ”  Then I provide a link to that days chosen pattern… All week I look for patterns that I think are fun and free…Then,,, My Facebook Fans choose their favorite by clicking on the link, liking it and commenting on it all week-long… I tally up all the totals and then I present each weeks favorite… So are you ready for Week 8’s Choice… There was a ton of traffic for several of the patterns… But here is your winner…

Breast Cancer Awareness… If you have been following along,,, Or just stopped by my blog after seeing one of my FREE PATTERNS… You know I have a place in my heart for Breast Cancer…  My last 2 Free Crochet Patterns, the Amazing Grace Series have been dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness

This weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday… I bought some really nice yarn… Bernat Sequins…  I decided each skein would make at least 1 Amazing Grace Headband… So I grabbed my hook and whipped a few up…  I loved the way these headbands turned out with the sequins!… The yarn is soft and nice to work with too… Such a bonus!.  The picture below doesn’t really show how beautiful the sequins are…

Also this weekend I set out to finalize my “Sadie” Pattern… The 1920’s Style Cloche...  While typing it up so it can be digitally sent… My computer crashed (yes, every writer’s nightmare) and I lost what I had been typing… All is good though… I just restarted my process and it is almost finalized… I hope you all are looking forward to this great hat!
