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 πŸ™‚

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.
