Hello blog friends. I have taken a break from crocheting and knitting this summer, but now that fall is here, I have been so inspired to crochet and create some fall leaves.
I enjoyed sitting on the couch, watching TV, while crocheting the leaves.
I will be making a few more of these to display on my mantel, to go along with my fall decorations.
Below you can see the Lion Brand Yarn that I chose to crochet the leaves, but you can use any kind of yarn and colors of your choice.

Hi friends! I know some of you may still be thinking about summer or fall approaching, but I have another crochet infinity scarf and pattern to share with you. This scarf is fun to make using thick chunky yarn and a big crochet hook. It is the perfect scarf to keep you warm during the cold and snowy winter months.
EASY CROCHET INFINITY SCARF & PATTERN
Yarn: Lion Brand Yarn, Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
Color: Black 153
Crochet Hook: US Size K
Chain 90.
Half double crochet in second chain from hook and continue all the way to the end of the row. When you get to the end of row chain 2 and turn. Continue this way until the scarf measures 5 inches wide. When you get to the end, take both ends of the scarf and sew them together using the yarn and then fasten off.
* This infinity scarf will fit wrapped around your neck 2 times with these dimensions!
Note: This pattern is made in US terminology.
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.

Hi friends, I finally finished crocheting the border for the crocheted granny square blanket. Here is what the blanket looks like laid out on the floor.
For the final border on the blanket I half double crocheted all the around the blanket. I kept the border simple and I love the way the blanket and border looks.
In case you missed the post on the pattern and yarn I used for this project you can find it HERE.
I really enjoyed working on this blanket and it feels good to be finally finished with it. I will be donating this blanket that I made to the Christmas Fair that we have at our church. I hope I may have maybe inspired you to crochet or knit something.
Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all a wonderful weekend. See you all next week.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Hi Friends, I hope you all had a nice long weekend. I had been working on this crocheted blanket for a while and I'm almost finished making it. I just need to add a border around the blanket. I was inspired to make this blanket from a blogging friend Darlene at Let it Shine and to see her blog, blanket, and pattern, you can click HERE.
What I liked about crocheting this blanket is that it was pretty easy and I changed my blanket a little from Darlene's blanket.
Here is the yarn I used to crochet the blanket:
Caron Royalty 530
Caron Sky Blue 508
I skein of Red Heart Yarn - I lost the label but I think it is Country Blue #ID 0382
Crochet Hook - Size I-9 US
This is what I did to make my blanket:
- 8 rows for each granny square
- 3 granny squares across
- 4 granny squares down
12 granny squares all together
The dimensions of the blanket are 32'' wide by 42'' length.
Once all the granny squares were made I laid them out the way I wanted them to look. I then single crocheted all the granny squares together. The granny squares are each a solid blue color yarn. To see the tutorial I used for assembling all the squares you can find it HERE from Sarah at Repeat Crafter Me. Darlene had single crocheted around each square but I did not do that when I made my squares. For making the border I will single crochet all around the blanket. When I have the border finished I will take a photo of the finished blanket to show you.
I hope I have inspired you to create a granny square blanket too. This blanket I made is being donated to the crochet group that I belong to at my church for the Christmas Fair in the fall.

Hi friends, I would love to share with you this loopy crochet scarf I made last week. As many of you know I have been working on a men's knit scarf and you can see that here, well I am bored with that right now and I wanted to crochet something fast and to remind me of Spring. Well here is a scarf I made and I chose bright colored yarn in turquoise and green.
This scarf pattern is from Red Heart and the link to it is HERE if you would like to make one too. The yarn that I used is different from what was called for. I used one skein of Red Heart Super Saver in the color Turqua Art. E300 0512 and the other skein is Spring Green Vert Printemps Primavera Verde Art. E300 0672.
This scarf was so much fun to make and I had it finished in 2 sittings. I hope I have inspired you to make one too.
