Super Crafty Sunday Link Up #4 – Cotton Fair Yarn Giveaway

Welcome to the 4th Super Crafty Sunday Link Up!

Since last month’s party, here’s what I’ve been up to (A LOT!):

Green Frosted Thin Mint Brownie Cake.
Chicken [Butt] Coasters – Free Crochet Pattern
Corner to Corner Poncho and the Pattern Pack Pro, Issue 42.
Lightweight V-Stitch Preemie Beanies – Free Crochet Pattern
Bacon, Onion & Pepper Pizza – My Favorite!
Parisenne Beret – Crochet Pattern Review

This Month’s Most Clicked Include:

Top: Lucy Lace Shawl from Atelier Marie-Lucienne – Crochet Inspiration. This shawl is just stunning! And by the looks of the number of clicks, many of you agree with me! As stunning, and elegant as it is, I find it not to imagine cherries when I look at the lace pattern, hehe. Nonetheless, she who requested this shawl is one lucky lady!
 
Right: Four Leaf Clover from Julie’s Creative Lifestyle – Crochet Inspiration with Link to Free Crochet Pattern. These little clovers are so cute! And a great way to add a little green to your outfit on St. Patrick’s Day. They also work up very quickly, so would make a great gift idea for your friends, or co-workers so everyone can avoid getting pinched.


 A Little From Helena:

Teething Toy Ring with Star – Free Crochet Pattern.
Isn’t this teething ring toy the cutest?! And working up so quickly and using scrap yarn, you could easily work up a ton of these to make as a gift set, or for your little one. I have a new cousin on the way, and I can’t wait to share some of these!
 
I will caution a few things:
1. Wash your yarn in a lingerie bag before working this up, or hand wash the toy afterwards before gifting or giving to baby. You will want to make sure you get anything used to coat yarn off, plus imagine all the hands and surfaces that may have touched your yarn before and after purchasing.
 
2. Make sure you secure your end extra well, as you do not want the star (or similar) to come off, and pose a choking risk. You may want to weave your ends in a time or two extra, and make sure to regularly check for lose ends.
 
3. Use a cotton yarn – Do not use a synthetic yarn (acrylic, polyamide, nylon, etc) or animal fiber (wool, alpaca, etc).

This Month’s Giveaway is sponsored by Helena of Crochet n Crafts. One winner will receive two skeins of Cotton Fair Yarn. If you haven’t used this yarn before, it is a beautiful, sport weight (#2) yarn perfect for warm weather crocheting and knitting comprised of 52% cotton, and 48% acrylic. And two skeins?! They will go a long way.

Join the Party!!


The Super Craft Sunday Link Up is hosted by EyeLoveKnots, and Crochet n Crafts, so when you link up to one of the blogs, it will show up on both! Double the exposure!! It will go live on the first Sunday of the month, and end the Thursday prior to the next month’s party starting. Post times will vary, but you will be able to link up from midnight EST through midnight EST on the indicated dates – check the top of the Rafflecopter for more details.

Please share projects, recipes, and other posts that are family friendly, and not spammy. Feel free to reshare previously shared links, and links to giveaways and other link ups. Please make sure to link to a specific post, and not your blogs home page.

*If you don’t have a blog, you can still share with us several ways. You can create a free Flickr account (powered by Yahoo), and upload your projects there, and share the link with us. You can also share links from Instagram, and Twitter.

*Link ups CANNOT be to Etsy/Craftsy listings or Ravelry pages where patterns are sold. You can share a link that is directed towards it, but can’t directly link to it. To be clearer though, Ravelry pages of finished projects are okay to share. Sorry for the inconvenience! That’s per InLinkz guidelines. Thanks!

Features may be chosen at the discretion of each host. By linking up you give us permission to feature your item.

  4. I always enjoy your posts. You always have some great link ups for us to check out – and try!
    Thanks for the chance to win some of this yarn – I'd love to try it – so am going to hold out hope that my luck changes – if only this time!

    • Lighter is fun because you can start experimenting with lighter weight yarns, and pretty lacy patterns. I have ordered quite a bit of Berroco's Yarns in preparation, and will have some patterns and reviews to share soon. Maybe even a giveaway, since I know Berroco Yarns aren't found in most craft stores.
      I did see your comment on the Rafflecopter, and you asked "how do you get the receipes". I am not quite sure if you are asking for: 1.) my recipes – I am undergoing some construction to the blog so my tabs up top aren't working right now, but you can follow these links: My Recipes- http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/search/label/Alexandra%20Original%20Recipe, My Recipe Reviews – http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/search/label/Recipe%20Review; or 2) A receipt for entry, and in this case, I don't think you do, other than coming back to this page, and looking at how many entries you have on the actual Rafflecopter.
      Thanks sooo much for stopping by!
