Amazing Yarn Creations

No seriously "Amazing!" I had two patterns catch my eyes recently and Hobby Lobby just happened to mark down and clearance out all their Lion Brand "Amazing" Yarn. It's gorgeous and I've loved everything I've made with it. Here is what I made with my yarny goodness the past few days.

I loooooove this shawl pattern from A La Sascha! It's called the Stairs Shawl. I'd already been looking at some similar knit patterns and was thinking of designing a crochet version but why now when there is this amazing one that I can't wait to make again!  It worked up great and is really easy to customize up or down in size if desired, it's light and airy and a perfect fall accessory. I can't wait for the weather to cool down!  You can read more details on this project in ravelry!

This next project was a pattern test for one of my most favorite, inspiring designers 

Speckled Frog Crochet. 

I have most her patterns and they never fail to amaze me! Lots of great textures and unique designs that crocheters of all levels will love. If your board with basic stitches you won't be with her patterns! 

She just released this tonight! The Brighton Newsboy Cap

I used the Regatta Colorway. It's very unique. One of my pattern testers said it looked fierce, in a good way and that it reminded her of all the elements and I have to agree! I love that every time you use the yarn  that every hat will be different because of the color changes. 

These are my amazing works for the past few days! What have you or would you make with Amazing yarn? I have another color way left and might make up more newsboy caps!  

Neon Yarn Creations

I don't know how I feel about neons being popular in clothing right now! Reminds me to much of my 80's childhood. Haha! I like warmer jewel tones myself. I discovered Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn Neons. The colors are vibrant and the yarn itself seems a little bit softer that their regular worsted which is already great. I think I bought one in almost every color. It comes in Yellow, Pink, Orange, Fuschia, Purple, Green and  Blue!

Here are a few fun things I made over my Thanksgiving vacation! 

This hat is a pattern by Speckled Frog Crochet

You can find it here (it's my all time favorite newsboy pattern) 

I used the Green Neon and Black to match my sons winter coat. (He loves Green!) 

This hat pattern is by a local friend of mine Boomer Beanies

You can find the pattern here

I used the Purple! Calleigh's favorite color! She absolutely loved this hat! 

This was my 1st attempt and cables and I was very please with the pattern and the results. I want to make this hat for me. It's just to fun! 

This last hat was my inspired by my hubby! He's in the picture above, which he took himself from his cell phone. (Don't tell him I showed you....hehe!) He never models for me. 

We're big Thunder Basketball fans around here! So he was excited to see these colors! They are perfect! I had a hard time last year trying to find the right ones! So I hope these stick around for a while! My hubby loves slouchy hats right now. I think I've whipped of several and finally sat down and wrote out the pattern for the slouchy. 

You can find it free here in a previous blog post with links to download a pdf if desired

Sunset Slouchy

So maybe neons are not for you but maybe step out and try something bright! 

I do love these colors and quality! Give it a try! 

If you don't crochet I'd love to make you anything you see here in any size! Just contact me through the contact me tab and we'll chat! 

What would you make with this yarn?
