I don't know about you but a big trend last year in crochet was Yarn Pooling! Did you try it? I know I did and failed. Trying to find the right yarn, formulas and such wasn't easy on my own. Of course I didn't do a lot of research at first and was just grabbing variegated yarn I had on hand and just hoping it would magically happen. It didn't. I now have perfect solution and resource!

I was really impressed with the variety of patterns.
It was hard for me to choose one to make.

I started with the Full Scarf, but I didn't just want a basic scarf and I messed up at the beginning so I pulled it out.
I was drawn to the child's sweater but I didn't have enough yarn.
I was drawn to the child's sweater but I didn't have enough yarn.
So, I decided I would Make the Car Seat Cover just a smaller version of it.
I crochet for my daughters dolls a lot and thought it would make a cute mini babydoll blanket.
I just happened to have a Skien of Red Heart Super Saver #906 Ocean. This was used for the scarf pictured above in the banner.
I worked up a small rectangle using the yarn pooling method from the book and guess what it worked out!! Isn't this gorgeous. What I really loved was the border. It called for two contrasting colors but I went with a matching purple and the same variegated in the center and it made another lovely colorful border effect.
I really love the way it turned out and my Daughter did too.
So, if you were scared of yarn pooling.

Can't wait to check it out.
Yes, I have tried planned pooling. Thanks to the planned pooling page on FB. Lots of frustration so I watched Marly's videos for guidance. I got it to work then stopped. This book will get more motivated to do more.
I tried with Zebra (no luck) and Wildflower (some luck) but found it too difficult having to change hook sizes or frog and re-stitch, while changing tension. Too frustrating for me!
Yes, I have tried Yarn Pooling before. I only made a scarf though. I would like to try and learn making more.
I have not tried planned pooling yet, but love the look and would love to challenge myself and learn how!
I tried. I tried SO HARD with like 4 different yarns. I gave up...
I haven't tried planned pooling, but it sounds like something I would love to have a go at. This might be exactly what I've been waiting for!
Haven't tries pooling yet, but i love the argyle look and I'm super excited to get some yarn and try it out!!
Yes I have tried but it didn't go well but I would love to learn the secret behind it.
I love planned pooling!! It is really fun and easy thanks to Marly Bird!!
I have pooled before!! I recently attached a second skein to my scarf
I've spent years trying to AVOID pooling and flashing in variegated yarns, but have never tried intentional pooling. The fascinating result you can achieve are really tempting. Thank for the giveaway. KittenWhiplash on Rav
I haven't tried it yet. I'm afraid and don't think I'm experienced enough. LOL
Sweet
I did try it once, but my children were too distracting. I need to give it another go. :)
Yarn pooling seems so interesting! I can't wait to get going on it for Christmas gifts!
I have not dared to try it yet!
I have not tried yarn pooling, thanks for informative review, chance to win!
I have been intimidated with it, so I haven't tried. I do however hope to learn, I have several variegated yarns already to hopefully begin one day
