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!

Current Projects, Testings, & Sale




With Fall/Winter approaching my minds is whirling with new pattern ideas! I need to get to work on them but I've been a little busy making some fun new orders and taking a few opportunities to test some patterns by some other amazing designers! I thought I should share those with you so you can check out these fun patterns to! 

This first test pattern I made a few week ago so I'm a little delayed in showing it to you! This is the Boat Neck Betty Tee by Salena Baca of Baca Creations. I tested the 4-5 size! I really liked the pattern and she offers it in a variety of sizes from 1 year up to Women's sizes. It's a great top for all season and perfect for layering. I love the simple flower detail. I used Caron Simply Soft (not my favorite yarn) but it's light weight. I used Padgoda and Bright Red and it's kinda looks Christmasy even thought that is a Teal Blue LOL. It's still fun. 


The 2nd Test Pattern got the opportunity to help with is the Galilee Slippers by Tara Murray of Mamachee. She has wonderful patterns. I already have several of hers. This one was fun and there are so many fun color combos you can do with these. She already had a pattern for smaller sizes but this pattern is for children -Women's sizes. I have tiny feet so I tested the 5-6 size. I love them. I was going for a fall color way but my friend Rachel S. said they reminder her of corn on the cob. LOL! I'll never look at them the same again! I'm going to make other colors next time. 


This latest project wasn't a test but an order for two adorable princess loveys! This pattern is by BowTykes and I love it. She recently updated it to include options for a princess leia (I must make this next), fairies and of course other fun princesses. The possibilities are endless.  These are just two custom lovey's for two sisters! I hope they enjoy them (because my daughter tried to steal them, she already has one)! haha!  I'm going to work up the others princess as I have time! 


Lots of fun project lately and always more to come!
