The best thing about today is… Looking at the past week’s segment’s of Free Patterns!!!!  I love Crochet!!!!  And, I love seeing what everyone is creating… If you haven’t checked in over on Facebook… You have been missing alot of fun!  Each day I host a segment called… “Would you wear it, would you make it? Tell me what you think… ”  Then I provide a link to that days chosen pattern… All week I look for patterns that I think are fun and free…Then,,, My Facebook Fans choose their favorite by clicking on the link, liking it and commenting on it all week-long… I tally up all the totals and then I present each weeks favorite… So are you ready for Week 8’s Choice… There was a ton of traffic for several of the patterns… But here is your winner…

I am currently working on my next pattern in the Amazing Grace Series… A Prayer Shawl…  Just in time for November donations I hope…  Stay tuned!

On a very exciting note… The Amazing Grace Headband was #1 over at Oombawka Desings Link Party!!!!

Facebook Fan Favorite….

It’s Wednesday and time for Facebook Fan Favorite!!!  This week’s free crochet pattern segments on my Facebook segment “Would you wear this? Would you make it? Tell me what you think… Here is the FREE PATTERN link if you like it..” Were a huge success!!!

.

It was a very close competition!!! Three of the segments were almost tied!!  So,,, This week, I thought you would like to see 1st, 2nd and 3rd…  Here they are…

In first place is this beautiful Cowl/Shrug by Cre8tion Crochet. She has a great site and this pattern is one of my favorites… Not to mention… My oldest daughter started this project right when it was posted to my Facebook segment, I can’t wait to see her finished project!  Check out the pattern and more from Cre8tion Crochet! by heading over to her site!

.

In second place was this very popular Slouch Granny Square Beanie!  This comes from Drops Designs...They have hundreds of patterns to choose from and the yarn to go with it…  This was within just a few votes of first place… And I got hooked into this one too!!! My youngest daughter (17yrs old) Facebooked me the minute I posted this one… She wanted one!!! So I hopped over to Drops and ordered the yarn… I have 2 rows left and it will be done tonight!  Drops is a great site and the yarn was delivered within just a couple days of ordering!  Check this pattern out and their site!

In third place,,, And another very close margin are these wonderful Boot Cuffs by my great friend and crochet designer Kathy Lashley over at Elk Studio Handcrafted Crochet Designs…  Kathy has several awesome free patterns and she is also becoming one of the top designers in crochet hats… I have personally made several of her hats and these boot cuffs!!!  Stop by and check out what is happening over at Elk Studio!!!!
