Welcome to the 7th Super Crafty Sunday Link Up!
Hey Guys! Happy August! Kids are back in school this month, fall is near (in some places), and schedules are returning somewhat back to normal. Tell me, did you take the summer off from crocheting? Cut back on it at all? Crochet more than usual? Here in Florida, it is hot pretty much all year long, as the summer heat has no affect on me and my crocheting. Lately, I have been feeling more motivated than usual, and have recently finished quite a few projects, and posts to share later this month, and next.
Since Last Month’s Party, Here’s What I’ve Been Up To:
Top Left: How to Make a Slip Knot – Photo Tutorial; Middle: Chic Tank – Crochet Pattern Review; Right: How to Hand Wind Scrap Yarn into a Center Pull Ball – Photo Tutorial
Bottom Left: Summer Crochet Lace Top – Crochet Pattern Review; Middle: Fresh Cut Coasters – Free Crochet Pattern; Right: 4 Ways to Deal with Cupping in Crochet
Top Left: Prickly Pear Cactus Coasters – Crochet Pattern Review; Middle: Orange Cream Pie – Recipe Review; Right: V-Stitch Crochet Top – Crochet Pattern Review
Bottom Left: It’s Football Season Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern; Middle: Visiting the Renninger’s Flea Market in Mount Dora Florida; Right: Sinful Polka Dotted Nails – Easy Nail Tutorial
This Month’s Most Clicked Projects:
Top: Triangle Scarf with Russian Pattern from Hobby Loes – Crochet Inspiration. What a really neat pattern! Kind of looks like the virus shawl that’s been all about, but with some granny stitch thrown into the mix. Fun combination of stitches!
Bottom: Crochet Garden Party Cardigan from Kiku Corner – Crochet Pattern Review. What a beautiful cardigan! I follow the Kiku Corner blog, so this piece caught my attention even before it was linked up to our party. I immediately popped over to check out the pattern after reading Meinhilde’s review. Even with using a lace weight yarn, this cardigan can still be worked up over a weekend – a plus in my book! It’s also lightweight and airy, making it perfect for late Spring into Summer – another plus in my book! AND designed my Marly Bird, this cardigan is a must try! It’s on my wish list.
This Month’s Giveaway is sponsored by me, Alexandra of EyeLoveKnots. One winner will receive crochet kit. This crochet kit is actually July’s Happy Yarn Mail kit – a monthly crochet subscription that has been cancelled.
Kit includes a skein of Lion Brand’s Feels Like Butta in White, a skein of Lion Brand’s Baby Soft Boucle in Peach, and a skein of Lion Brand’s DIYarn in Camel, plus printed instructions for working up the adorable Snuggle Bunny Baby Lovey shown! You will need stuffing for the head of the bunny, safety eyes, and both an E3.5mm and K10.5/6.5mm crochet hooks, as these are not included in the kit.
Must be 18 years or older to enter. Open to all countries. Void where prohibited. Winner has 48 hours to respond to email notification, or another winner will be chosen. Alexandra of EyeLoveKnots is responsible for prize fulfillment.
Join the Party!

Snuggle Bunny How adoreable, love to win!
It is quite cute, and the yarn feels awesome.
I prefer picking my own pattern, yarn. A kit would reduce the bought this yarn for…
Yarn is always a great giveaway, as well as Clover Amour hooks 🙂
I was thinking about a Clover Armour set for a giveaway! Thanks so much for your feedback.
I prefer to pick a pattern & find my own yarn.
I’m with ya. I got tons of yarn in my stash to pick from.
would love to see a set of crochet hooks and case offered. if there’s such a thing as all metal from 3mm to 10 with the 0.5 mm inbetween, it would be great. thanks
This does sound like quite the crochet hook set! I purchase the prizes for the giveaways with my own personal money. Something like this would be quite an investment on my end. Perhaps closer to the holidays. I earn money for blogging based on the number of views I have to my blog. It would be very helpful and appreciated if you shared my our party post 🙂
thanks Alexandra. I’ll make sure friends find your blog.
I would love to see more yarn! Free yarn is always fun ?
I also prefer to choose my own rather than use a kit.
I won’t complain – free yarn is always great! I will keep it on my list.
For future giveaways I would like to see crochet hooks and yarn please.
I will work on the hooks, promise!
I like to search for a pattern and then buy the yarn for it. I have never bought a kit.
It’s funny, because before the Happy Yarn Mail, I was a subscriber to Annie’s Catalog crochet kit thing, and I never really was interested in the projects they sent. What I liked about Happy Yarn Mail was getting to try out new yarns I hadn’t tried before. Sadly, the service is ending. Don’t think I will be starting a new kit subscription, but I am thinking maybe a new magazine subscription. I really enjoy Simply Crochet. Lots of great projects in there. Thanks for stopping by, Cheryl!
I like to do things both ways!
I would love to see a craft store gift card or an Etsy gift card as a giveaway prize but I’m happy with any prize.
I have done Etsy Gift Cards in the past. Will see about doing another one soon! Thanks for your suggestion.
I prefer to find my own pattern and pick my own colors of yarn
Love this giveaway!
Love this giveaway! thank you for the chance to win!
My little granddaughter would LOVE this Lovey!
Hope I win something for a change…..
Good luck to all!
Fingers crossed for you, Carol!
I love the adorable giveaway. For future giveaways I always like to see yarn and hooks, thank you!
I love the yarn, patterns and accessories as needed.
I would like either. Sometimes kits open me up to new ideas, materials, etc. that I otherwise might not try.
