Yarn Fanatic Party #49

September 7, 2015

Welcome to the 49th Yarn Fanatic Link Party, and my 32nd as co-host, alongside Rachel from The Philosopher’s Wife.


These week I shared…

The Sherwood Forest Beret – Free Crochet Pattern

A few reminders on some CAL’s I am/will be participating in…

The Mystery Lapghan CAL is in progress!
Check out my post for a full list of all squares shared so far. 
The Holiday Stashdown Crochet-a-Long is COMING SOON!
First project will be shared Monday, September 14th.



Most Clicked:

From Left to Right:


Georgiana Shawl from A Little Bit to Knit – Knitting Pattern Link Included. Though Sarah loves knitting a variety of things, shawls are her go-to and boy are they stunning! I am sure this one was hard to part with, but I am also sure that her mother just loved it! What is your go-to type of yarn craft?

Moogly CAL Blocks 5 – 8 from Olives n Okra – Links to Crochet Patterns Included. I love Sherry’s choice of colors for this afghan – it’s going to be one beautiful afghan! Make sure to check out this post for her tips and experience with each of these squares ๐Ÿ™‚

EyeLoveKnots Yarn Favorites:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:


Hand Crafted Crochet Hook Collection from Creative Designs by Sheila Zachariae – With Links Included. I haven’t gotten into the polymer clay crochet hooks, but I do admire the idea quite often because they all look so fun. I love the uniqueness of Sheila’s collection.

Rock African Flower Skirt from Hakelfieber – Crochet Inspiration with Chart Included. This is a cute little skirt! I’ve only made one skirt for myself in the past, but do drool over them quite often – I really need to work up some more! I found that a ribbon was a great gathering option for the skirt as it made the skirt fitting no matter my waist size, it can easily be removed/weaved in and out when the skirt needs washing, and you don’t have to worry about the dreaded stretching matter. LOVE this idea! And a great granny square inspiration piece.

Easy Lattice Scarf from Shelf Reading Life – Knitting Pattern. I completely understand the not creating elaborate gifts for everyone during the different holidays – I tend to do elaborate for birthdays though (more personal), and then a little something simple for Christmas. One of the things that stuck out the most to me of this scarf was the beautiful denim-like colored yarn used. Close up you can see the difference in strands of the chunky yarn, but from a ways, I really love the look. That paired with the openwork pattern makes me think this would make a really beautiful scarf for many different seasons depending on the yarn weight used. Love it!

Flower Dream Catcher from Howling at the Moon – Crochet Pattern Link Included. This is such a simple and fun idea! Especially for all of those doilies we love to work up, but run out of table surfaces to put them on – or like Liz, they just don’t match. I love the outside of the box thinking and the boho look of this project.

A Bright Summer Jumper Dress from My Funky Crochet – Knitting Inspiration. This is a beautiful piece full of fun colors and designs. I love that Ingrid included a photo showing how she used two different types of shirts to help in the designing of the top of the dress – this is a great resource that I think sometimes doesn’t cross our mind in the process.

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!
