Sugar Faerie Super Scarf : Free Crochet Pattern

If you love to follow yarn trends there have been a few fun ones this fall. From yarn pooling to fun self stripping yarns. I'd avoided the Caron Cakes because they were hard to find and do have some wool in them (which I can handle but it usually makes me a little itchy), but I happened to be in Micheal's one day and found a few skeins that jumped in my cart. My Daughter (7yrs) picked out the colors. 

I knew this would make a great super scarf but with a big scarf and it still being 80 degrees around here I didn't want it to be heavy! Even though I used two full skeins and I did a fun lacy look texture so it's light weight and still cozy. 

If super scarves aren't for you simple make it the length you want or join ends to make an infinity scarf. 

It's also wide enough that you could make it a gorgeous shawl. 

I enjoyed working with the Caron Cakes yarn and actually would like to get more. If you're looking for a wool free alternative Premier Yarns came out with Sweet Roll. Which is similar. It's coming to Joann's soon so I hope to try it soon.

I hope you enjoy this sweet pattern!

Runner's Reflective Headband Crochet Pattern

These past few months have been all about branching out and doing new things! I took up running to help on my fitness journey! So I thought that it would be good to branch out and try new things in crochet too! I'd tried Tunisian crochet before and made a washcloth. I didn't enjoy it at all and swore I'd never do it again. 

I've gotten the opportunity to get to know the wonderful Kim Guzman (Queen of Tunisian some would say)! She has an amazing series of free videos on Tunisian Crochet.

 I sat down and watch most of them in one day! 

I decided it would be fun to work up a very simple beginner Tunisian headband. I had some fun reflective yarn left over from another project and it was still chilly in the mornings when I ran so this is were this little gem was inspired from!  I hope you enjoy this freebie and try to branch out and try something new too! 

This was written as if you already understand Tunisian crochet but there are links below so you can learn the same way I did. I made one in a Tunisian Simple Stitch and one in the Tunisian Knit Stitch. The TSS doesn't have a lot of stretch but I like it because it's warm but not super thick. The TKS is thicker and a little stretchier.  I also thought it worked up faster. You can use either stitch in the pattern interchangeably.  

Also note that you do not have to have a Tunisian or Afghan hook to make these. I use a regular boye hook with a little bit of clay on the end of  it but it was enough room to work it. You can also just put a rubber band on the end of the hook or my mom recommends a pencil top eraser.

Please note this is my 1st Tunisian pattern, this has been tested but if you find errors or if there is a more proper way to write a "Tunisian" Pattern don't hesitate to let me know so I can fix it!

Calleigh's Comfy Headwrap Crochet Pattern

I'm excited to let you know that I'm retiring the 1st paid pattern I ever wrote! It will now be a freebie on the blog and I hope you enjoy it! It's been updated and retested. Wow have I learned a lot as a designer over these past 4 years! I hope you will enjoy this simple headwrap pattern. 

I was thinking it was a silly time of year for a head wrap being spring and all but even though it was almost 90 degrees  this weekend in OKC, it's in the 30's this morning with a chance of snow! I wore my head wrap to the bus stop this morning! You can also make it in cotton for a fun spring accessory!

Mini Mystery CAL from Merry Messy Life Part #1

HI! Hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start. I decided to have some fun crochet time just for me today. I'm joining in a Mini Mystery Crochet-A-Long hosted by Merry Messy Life. 

I was enticed by this one because it's called the Mini Mystery CAL! So that tells me it will be simple and not take to much time. I also liked that it uses basic worsted weight and H hook. Makes for a great stash buster with materials I already have. 

Part one can be found here : Part #1

I decided to use colors that match my logo from my stash of Vanna's Choice. I can't tell you the exact colors because many don't have wrappers, but I think it's Rasperry, Lime, Aqua, & Duckie!

The triangle granny was very simple to make and I really like the looks of these! 

I'm even thinking of making more but we'll save the remnants of yarn I have left for the other steps just incase.  

There is plenty of time to join in this week so come join the fun if you can! 

What's In My Stash Wednesday?

Would you believe that I haven't gone yarn shopping in 2014 yet! Haha! I didn't do much yarn shopping in December either. I usually go every week to be inspired.  This yarn addict doesn't make silly goals like, use the yarn I have, yarn buying freeze or organize that stash first (face palm). 

It just isn't happening! 

I had to get yarn for an order so seemed like a good day to explore what's new on the shelves.  Today I went to Hobby Lobby and the fact that I have an employee discount courtesy of my hubby working at corporate doesn't ever help me buy less. 

Red Heart recently released a reflective yarn. Reflective yarns aren't new but they are usually kinda pricey! I've seen yarn creations popping up in my Facebook feed but they seem to be so popular the yarns are already out of stock. Would you believe while shopping today I found a new version of I Love This Yarn- Reflective! They only had two colors Orange Glow and Yellow Glow. It's a worsted weight where I think the Red Heart Brand might be a Bulky. So I snatched up one of each! It's priced at $5.99 but I used a coupon on one of them. I'm going to brain storm a fun pattern or two with it for sure (eventually). If you click the photo below it will be bigger and you can read the yarn label for specific info. It is not on the website yet to order. 

This is with flash to show the reflective. 

This is without flash. 

I also picked up several skeins of I Love This Yarn in some soft and pale, wintery shades. I already have plans for some of these lovely skeins! Hopefully soon, if not come spring time I'm sure they'll be put to good use! Aren't they pretty! I think these shade would also be gorgeous with with my 

Serene Snow Pixie Pattern! 

Hobby Lobby doesn't carry a lot of other brands of yarn like they used to, but that a okay because I love everything they have come out with. I'm just sad they don't have as much Vanna's Choice because there are specific colors I use on a regular basis I now have to order ahead of time online.

 I was so excited to see today one of my new favorites Lion Brand Heartland being stocked on the shelf! I could only get it at Joann's and it's out of the way for me to go there so I'm super excited to see it! I use this yarn in my free Key Tab Stitch Series of crochet patterns! 

So buy any yarn this week? What did you get?
