Fun in the Sun Cover-Up by Marly Bird
Unique crocheted blocks form a comfortable and fresh fabric perfect for fun in the sun. The brilliant shape of this simple design allows this cover-up to transform from a garment to a blanket, meaning you have one less thing to tote around.
Granny Stitch Planned Pooling Crochet
Today we have a special guest that is going to be telling you all about the Granny Stitch Planned Pooling Crochet. This is another variation that you can use for planned pooling. Typically I use the moss stitch as you have seen in my previous videos (which can be found on my YouTube Channel). Since the granny stitch planned pooling crochet isn't something I typically design with I thought that I would bring in someone who has done a lot of work to perfect this style of planned pooling. Please welcome Rocky to the blog to teach us the granny stitch planned pooling to add to our tool box.
Red Heart Yarns New Super Saver STRIPES and OMBRE
Red Heart Yarns New Super Saver STRIPES and OMBRE
Red Heart Yarns New Super Saver STRIPES and OMBRE was today's hot, Hot, HOT topic on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird, and she was joined by Red Heart Yarns own Margaret Eckman. Margaret is their Social Media Specialist and she works with the bloggers (aka Joy Creators!), gets to know the new yarns as they come out. Both she and Marly have known about this new Super Saver was coming out and had to sit on their hands, almost literally!
Super Saver is the Red Heart Yarn line that most people are aware of, it's found in most craft stores, and often times it the yarn we hand a newbie to try out knitting or crochet. This new gradient or ombre line offers slow color changes that many of us have been craving for so long. I loved how Margaret says they have been sitting around the office looking pretty. So typical of gorgeous yarns!
Marly shared just yesterday in a blog post, complete with videos from her YouTube channel and during the video feed, she showed us the crochet Isoceles Triangle Shawl (shades of purple) and a knitted Fantastic Ripple Scarf (the multicolored). There are actually two choices, there is a gradient Ombre available in 12 colors, which takes a color and changes the tone. SO beautiful and stunning! It's available in the whopping 10 ounce sized at 482 yards. The Stripes options are added to the Super Saver selection and they've added that to the selection by showing a swatch of the changes, available in the 236 yards of 4 ounces and mix really well with other colors in the Super Saver lines.
