Balanced Rock Hat Crochet Pattern

balanced rock hat
Last month my husband had a business trip to Colorado Springs, and he asked me if I would like to go with him. I quickly googled “local yarn shop Colorado Springs” and found Ewe & Me Yarn Boutique, so of course I decided to go with him.
On our first day, it was cold with a light snow falling. I’m a Texas girl, and I don’t enjoy the cold weather! The next day was still cold but a beautiful sunny day, so I got out to explore.
Garden of the Gods
The desk clerk suggested that I visit Garden of the Gods. I had visited it on a family trip as a teenager, but my memories were vague.
The three main features of the park are Steamboat Rock, the Three Graces, and Balanced Rock. They were formed by sedimentary beds of red, pink and white sandstone and limestone that were deposited horizontally but have now been tilted vertically by the mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak. The following Pleistocene Ice Age resulted in erosion and glaciation of the rock, creating the present rock formations. Mother Nature is truly amazing!!
Next stop – Ewe & Me, A Yarn Boutique on Garden of the Gods Road. It’s a fiber artist paradise! So many beautiful colors and textures! This shop has everything a crocheter or knitter could ever want. I explained that I was looking for a locally made yarn, and I was ushered to a wall of beautiful hand-dyed Aran yarn by Haus of Ewe. What luck! There’s a reddish-brown colorway called Balanced Rock. I had to have it! My only regret is that I only brought one suitcase, so I had to leave behind so many of the beautiful colorways.
After we got back home, I started playing with the yarn to find out what shape it wanted to take. I’m very pleased with the results. I hope you will be too. Check out the All About Fall Blog Hop for the Balanced Rock Beanie pattern free for 24 hours.

Lover’s Eye Necklace Crochet Pattern

lover's eye necklace

In 1785, Prince George or Wales commissioned a tiny portrait of his eye and sent it to his beloved, Maria Anne Fitzherbert, to convince her to marry him. It worked, and they were married shortly thereafter. The Prince then commissioned a portrait of Fitzherbert’s eye so that he might have her with him all the time. The tiny portraits became popular in England in the late 18th century. Some commissioned them as a token of affection for their lover, and others used them as a memento of a departed family member.

These necklaces have gained a new popularity with the show Bridgerton. If you follow the show, you have likely noticed that Marina wears a lover’s eye necklace on a strand of pearls.

You can crochet your own lover’s eye for a necklace or brooch. This simple pattern takes only an evening to complete and measures approximately 2” wide by 1.25” tall.

Puppy Love Dog Toy Crochet Pattern

puppy love

Do you like to crochet toys for your fur babies? Bruno loves squeaky toys, and I love making him new toys. This week I made a dog-shaped toy out of different sizes of crocheted hearts. It’s an easy pattern using cotton worsted yarn, and it won’t take you long to make it.

Please be aware that all dogs are different; some will eat a toy within a day. Bruno will chew on a toy for about 3-4 months before it’s ready for the trash. Regardless of how long it takes them to finish the toy, cotton yarn and cotton stuffing are best because they can be digested by the dog.

Materials:

Cotton worsted weight yarn:

90 yards Pink

25 yards Red

2 yards White

1 yard Black

Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook

Yarn needle

Cotton stuffing

Squeakers
