Pink is the color for Breast Cancer Awareness Crochet!!!!

October 7, 2013 By 7 Comments

.

Breast Cancer Awareness… If you have been following along,,, Or just stopped by my blog after seeing one of my FREE PATTERNS… You know I have a place in my heart for Breast Cancer…  My last 2 Free Crochet Patterns, the Amazing Grace Series have been dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness…

.

This weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday… I bought some really nice yarn… Bernat Sequins…  I decided each skein would make at least 1 Amazing Grace Headband… So I grabbed my hook and whipped a few up…  I loved the way these headbands turned out with the sequins!… The yarn is soft and nice to work with too… Such a bonus!.  The picture below doesn’t really show how beautiful the sequins are…

The pictures don’t do them justice!  I am saving up for a new camera!!!!!

.

Also this weekend I set out to finalize my “Sadie” Pattern… The 1920’s Style Cloche...  While typing it up so it can be digitally sent… My computer crashed (yes, every writer’s nightmare) and I lost what I had been typing… All is good though… I just restarted my process and it is almost finalized… I hope you all are looking forward to this great hat!
