Yarn Bowl

 Yarn Bowls are becoming quite popular among knitters and crocheters.  When I first saw one, I couldn't quite figure out why people were using them...........then I used one.  WOW!  How nice it is your yarn doesn't roll around on the floor, or get stuck under your arm, or sofa cushion etc.  It also helps prevent tangles.  Your yarn stays cleaner as you work.  Though naturally it still requires being laundered to rid it of dust, hair etc.

This fun bright colored polka dot yarn bowl is one I painted recently while vacationing in Park City.  I'm not good  with a paint brush, truly not.  My darling daughter loves  painting pottery so it's always something we do for "girl time".  I usually pick a far easier project then she does, and when I saw the yarn bowl....well, how  could I resist?  I used different sized sponges to create the different sized random polka dots.  This is a deeper than normal yarn bowl, so I believe it will work for multiple cakes/hanks of yarn and has 3 yarn curls to send your yarn out of the bowl.

Girl Time is always fun, and top that with a yarn bowl=a perfect day!

May The Force be with You

Another fun yarn yuk I spotted on Facebook that I wanted to share with you all.  It's funny how things involving yarn have changed over the last 10 years.  When  I first started crocheting, no one did it and there was very little choice beyond Red Heart Knitted Worsted Weight Yarns.  Now tons of folks knit and crochet, not just grandmothers, lol.  You can even buy fun t-shirts to support your craft.  We've come a long way!

Knitted Hat with Ear Flaps Perfect for Cold Homeless

Look at this awesome hats knitted and donated by Susan H!  They are super warm because they have ear tabs......but more then that they are double thickness where the ear tabs are.  I LOVE these hats and that most of them are nice dark colors for those folks out in the elements.  Susan tells me the pattern she used is on Ravelry, #1898.
And it's a free pattern folks, check it out.

Many thanks for this wonderful donation, please keep up the good work Susan.
