Yarn Fanatic Linky Party #20

January 20, 2015

Welcome to the 20th Yarn Fanatic Link Party, and my third as co-host, alongside Rachel from The Philosopher’s Wife.

I haven’t been quite as active on my yarn crafts this week as I would have liked to be due to hands that hurt too much. If your hands also hurt, or you want some tips for preventing them from hurting, check out my most recent post, Do Your Hands Hurt or Ache? 5 Tips to Make Your Crocheting Experience Better.

We had some awesome yarn projects linked up last week, thank you to all who shared and left comments!

The Most Clicked Projects:

Start at Top, From Left to Right:

The Cocoon Wristwarmers from Little Crochet. These cute little wristwarmers were hooked up for gift giving. What a nice gift to receive! I love the simple addition of the dark red colored edges and single flower.
This post is a semi-review and showcase.

The Pom Pom Pillow from Little Treasures. Maya and her daughter Eva did a great job putting together this Pom Pom Pillow. She includes helpful tips for attaching the pom poms in this post.

The Frost Flower Scarf from Crochet is the Way. There is only one pattern that I have pinned that was made of the Broomstick technique – this Broomstick Lace Cowl from Mon Petit Violon, because it looked so elegant and perfect for a wedding – all the others, I have admired and then sadly X’d out as I have been very intimidated by the technique. BUT, Jenny has a fantastic step-by-step Crochet Broomstick Lace tutorial she has composed for Guide Central, and also includes lots of photos and instructions in the pattern for this Frost Flower Scarf. I have pinned this pattern, and will definitely be giving it a try!

The Tiara for a Sweet Girl from Haak & Maak, which translates to Hook & Make. You will most likely need to use the translation option to fully understand the post, but the photo itself is BEAUTIFUL. This post is somewhat of a review, but more of a showcase. Anywho, I’ve added it to my list of things to make and to my Every Princess Board.

My Yarn Favorite:
I have many favorites! But I think this weeks top two on my list of things to try are Arm Knitting Infinity Scarves from Artistic Endeavors (Left) and The Rally Scarf from Zooty Owl’s Crafty Blog (Right).

The Arm Knitting post is a showcase of just about 20 infinity scarves in different yarn types and colors. Arm knitting is another project I have been intimidated to try only because I know that with a hook, my chains will be consistent, and with my arm, I fear the inconsistencies. Brooke left a nice reply to my original comment on the post though, and now I feel better about attempting arm knitting.
Zelna of Zooty Owl’s Crafty Blog has quite a few different color combinations for the Rally Scarf. This is such a beautiful scarf, and I am so glad she has shared the free pattern for it! I really can’t wait to try. This will be a big hit this Spring.

My Philosopher Favorite:
Rachel’s daughter looks sooo cute in this Polar Bear Hat!
This Week’s Giveaway is sponsored by Happily Hooked Crochet Magazine. One lucky reader will receive a year’s subscription to this digital magazine. 
I personally am a subscriber to this magazine as of about a month ago, when they were running a special. I immediately began poking around online to take advantage of my subscription.
This magazine is a little different than others as you do not physically receive anything – it is all available online, or from your respective electronic devices. 
One thing I really like are the emails I receive from Happily Hooked. They include crochet tips, friendly reminders about sales, free pattern round ups and calls for designer help. I feel like part of the group when I receive these emails and that is so neat!
You must be 18 years or older to enter and be a US resident. Void where prohibited. Winner will be notified by email from Rachel of The Philosopher’s Wife, and have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be drawn. Neither EyeLoveKnots nor The Philosopher’s Wife are responsible for prize fulfillment.
Enough said, enter away!

**MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR EMAILS – LAST WEEK’S WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED BY RACHEL OF THE PHILOSOPHER’S WIFE!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden orย re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Meet the Team!
