Welcome to the 26th Yarn Fanatic Link Party, and my nineth as co-host, alongside Rachel from The Philosopher’s Wife.
I have been bad and not shared any projects this week – YIKES!
I have worked on a crochet slouch hat that I was pattern testing for Rhelena of CrochetN’Crafts that I will be sharing just as soon as the pattern goes live.
I also have a set of baby hats that I completed and will be sharing as a crochet pattern review from Crochet by Jennifer, with some matching diaper covers as WIPS, and a matching blanket in my mind to start soon.
And non-yarn related, I have three pairs of earrings and a necklace tutorial to share that aren’t just quite ready.
On a sad note, I received some new this week that one of my uncle’s was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It really has left me unmotivated to do much of anything.
I have been brainstorming a little though on ways I could do my part to help out, and will soon be launching a new Section in my EyeLoveKnots Etsy shop as well as sharing patterns, reviews and craft tutorials for themed items – undecided yet – that will benefit my Uncle and Aunt to help with medical costs and such.
If you have any ideas – I would love to hear them! Please share them in the comments space, or feel free to email me.
VERY HAPPY NOTE: Before I go into things, I am happy to say that ALL of the link ups received clicks last week’s Yarn Fanatic Link Party #25. That makes me sooooo happy! Thanks to everyone for all of the participation, and comments. It wouldn’t be a party without YOU, and I want to thank you for taking out the time to party and share amongst all of us.
On with the Goodies!

In your shop, the yellow frilly dress definitely caught my eye! I also really like the gingerbread man hats! So cute!

The Frilly Dress is one of my favorite crochet pieces too! I am working on a red one for a friend, and have decided on attempting a similar tank top for myself. Will be posting my progress and pattern as I get to it.

I visited the shop and the candy corn hair bow caught my eye. I love candy corn crafts. And the Soft Crocheted Yellow Frilly Sundress is soooooooooo pretty!

Candy Corn crafts are quite fun!
I have a soft spot for Granny Square patterns. I can't wait to see the other pillow you are working on.

Thanks for stopping by to party with us Jenny! Always a pleasure to have you.
Looking forward to seeing your knitting projects. I am wanting to start, and I know while you are working, you will be posting lots of tutorials along the way. Always enjoy seeing the ones you share for crocheting, so knitting may be easier than I think.
