Welcome to the 44th Yarn Fanatic Link Party, and my 27th as co-host, alongside Rachel from The Philosopher’s Wife.
I have been quite busy in the little amount of time I have had. I had a few other patriotic crochet patterns to share that I didn’t get to in time so I will be tweaking for the season change to share with you at a later time.
Ole’ Red White & Blue Hat in 3 Baby Sizes – Free Crochet Pattern
Patriotic Flag Hat in 3 Baby Sizes – Free Crochet Pattern

Plastic Canvas Fox Earrings – Free Plastic Canvas Pattern & Jewelry DIY
I have had a lot of fun creating all these fun projects, especially the fox earrings! And can’t wait to see what YOU have been up to! I am always very impressed and inspired by all your awesome yarny projects.
Most Clicked:
The SuperFat Owl Can Cozy from TempusMori. These owl cozies are just adorable! I LOVE the look of the crocodile stitch, but it looks so intimidating. Being that this was the first go ’round for Vivian, it inspires me to give it a go too! Especially since I want to make like a million of these little owl cozies. Link to crochet pattern included.
EyeLoveKnots Yarn Favorites:
From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:
Alternating Bag from Crochet n Crafts. You may recognize this pattern and look from last week’s Most Clicked Project – the Alternating Water Bottle Carrier. This bag would be great as a purse, or tote for back to school or the beach. Made using worsted weight cotton yarn, it will be nice and sturdy. I can’t wait to make a bunch of these in a variety of colors. Free Pattern included.
Crochet Covered Wooden Shoe from Over the Apple Tree. How neat is this?! This is such a clever and creative way to embellish a thrift store find to fit in with the rest of your decor. Aside from something really pretty to look at, I think it could also serve as a potpourri holder with perhaps a clean linen scent, or french vanilla to match the yarn color.
Tapestry Crochet NDS Lite Case from Creative Chaos Art. This is such a fun and cute little purse! Though it was made to carry an NDS around in, it would be really great as just a regular little purse too, as well as made larger into a tote or basket. What fun!!
Moogly Block #13 of Wednesday WIPS from Roses Crafts. I really love just the simple solid color of this block, especially in the fun, bright color. I really think it’s going to add to the blanket especially with the solo pop of color. Make sure you check out all the other neat projects that Rick is working on!
Sophie’s Universe Number 2 from Hakelfieber. I was in love with Sandra’s color combination for her first Sophie’s Universe, but I think the second one has topped it! This color combination is great! And though the color red is usually an “in your face” color, it complements the other colors really well in this blanket.

I love your little fox earrings. I'll be back later to check out everyone's projects.
Thank you! I appreciate you partying with us each week.
Thanks so much for featuring my crochet wooden shoe this week! Love your party, thanks for hosting.
It's such an interesting creation – I love it! Takes true creativity.
I was trying to decide which of the patriotic hats I like best, but finally decided I love them all – Great patterns! Love all the links as always, too!

Thanks Jenny! I got them in kind of late so I haven't had much feedback on them being that no one is currently searching for patriotic hats so thank you for your kind comment 🙂
Jenn
I like the crochet cowl, is it easy to make?
Janet
I was trying to find out which cowl you were asking but I can't seem to find a Jenn that submitted a cowl…
Thank you for featuring my crochet NDS case, very kind of you 🙂

Hi Alexandra!
Thank you for hosting the party!
Thank you for coming to party with us 🙂
It never ceases to amaze me how many creative things can be done with a ball of yarn! Thank you for hosting the linky party!
My boyfriend always says, "I can't believe that started as a ball of yarn and you made that with it." It's awesome! Thank you for stopping by
