The color of these potholders/dishcloths sure do remind me of fall and it's just around the corner.
I have been crocheting potholders lately and these are a fun and quick project to make. I love crocheting these in the summertime when it is too hot to go outside. I don't like working on anything heavy either like a blanket as it will be sitting on my lap.
I am making these and donating them for our annual Christmas Fair at my church. The yarn that I used is Bernat, Handicrafter Cotton, Harvest Home Collection in the color Landscape. This yarn was provided for me to use by my crochet group. The crochet hook I used is US size H.
To see the pattern that I used to make these potholders please visit HERE and to visit my past blog post of the dishcloths I made click HERE.
I hope I've inspired you to make these fun and easy potholders. These make great gifts for any occasion.

Hello everyone, I just finished crocheting this dishcloth from the 52 Weeks of Dishcloths that Jill from Being Spiffy is hosting.
The pattern for the dishcloth is HERE. This chevron dishcloth is from Week 19 of the 52 Weeks of Dishcloths. I had fun crocheting this and the pattern isn't too difficult to make.
The pattern has increase and decrease in it to form this pretty chevron pattern.
The yarn I used to make this dishcloth is from Lion Brand Yarn, kitchen cotton in the color 174 Olive. How about making this fast and pretty dishcloth?

Hi everyone, I found this cute pattern to make a soap cozy on Pinterest and I thought that I would share it with you too. If you like simple projects to crochet than this is the one for you. This would make a great gift for the holidays too.
You just put the soap inside the cozy and use it in the shower or bath and I used L'Occitane soap, which I love!
You can use cotton yarn to make this crochet soap cozy. I used the left over yarn from the dishcloths that I have been making. The cotton yarn is Sugar n' Cream and the color is Peace for the cozy that is red, yellow, and green. The cotton yarn is Sugar n' Cream and the color is Lime Stripes for the cozy that is light green and white.
To make this soap cozy the pattern is HERE. I hope that I have inspired you to make this little project and it is so fast and easy to crochet. Have fun with this and let me know what you think.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.

I needed a new sunglass case for my sunglasses and I decided to crochet one myself. Here is an easy pattern to crochet that I designed myself. It was so fast and easy to make and I had a lot of fun. Why not give it a try and let me know how it comes out!
Crochet Sunglass Pattern
Yarn: 1 Skein of Lily Sugar & Cream
Color: Playtime
Crochet Hook: US size I
sc = single crochet
Chain 20
Row 1 - sc in 3rd chain from hook & all the way across to the end, ch 1 turn
Row 2 - sc in next sc & all the way across to end, ch 1 turn - 18 sc
Row 3 - Repeat until the piece measures 6 1/2 inches.
Fasten off and do not cut the yarn, you will need to leave enough yarn to sew two sides together.
Fold the piece in half. Take long piece of the yarn and sew the two sides up on the wrong side.
Turn inside out and done.
Option: If you want to you can weave in at the top of the sunglass case with yarn to make a pull string.
At the top here you will weave in the end. At the other end you will leave the yarn long so you can sew up the sides of the sunglass case.

Hey everyone, I have been busy this week crocheting coasters and I'm currently working on a crocheted dishcloth from the 52 weeks of dishcloths that Jill from Being Spiffy. The pattern is pretty and it took me a while to get the stitch right but I'm glad I practiced yesterday. Take a look at the pattern you might want to crochet it.
This is my latest collection of crocheted coaster's that I have made so far. They are not all going to match, but they look so colorful and I am having fun crocheting them with the left over yarn from the dishcloths.

It is already week 3 of the 52 Weeks of dishcloths. The pattern used for the dishcloth is from "Magnolia Tea" and she used the Tulip Stitch. For details and the pattern go to Being Spiffy and join this fun linky party. To look at the details you can also go to the button found in my sidebar.
For the yarn I used Sugar 'n Cream Stripes and the color I used is Lime Stripes. For this pattern it calls for a chain of 35 and to use the entire skein. For my dishcloths I happen to like mine small, so I chained 25 stitches instead of 35 chains and used half the skein of yarn. The pattern also calls for 16 rows, for mine I used 8 rows. The pattern is easy and it uses chains and double crochet.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.
