Happy Cinco de' Mayo...Sharing Some Patterns

              

 This is too cute and for $4.95 you can buy this crocheted hat and wrape with the Hot Sauce...What a bargain!! Goes with Cinco De Mayo Day!!!

  And another perfect Cinco De Mayo crochet item. FREE pattern...

This called the "Munro" bag. It reminds me of the "Ripple" afghan. There is a FREE pattern available to download.  The "Munro" Bag is made from "Roman Sock" and about as simple as crocheting a bag gets. The simple zig-zag pattern and cool color combination make it a quick and easy project to keep for yourself or hook together for a friend in dire need of a bag makeover.

  OMG another FREE pattern of this adorable "Pear" dishcloth. Isn't he just the cutest? I love him... would be a great gift to anyone. Especially a hlouse warming gift!!

And for those of you that love to make Amigurumi Here's a Tutorial that shows you how to embroider a mouth. FREE 

Here's a great site that has FREE patterns with thread.

 Dottie Angel made this beautiful afghan and gives a FREE tutorial on how to join the squares. This is awsome.. The idea of attaching smaller doilys is unique and oh so pretty. :) Cute Cute Cute Hat... I love the style and think of it in RED for a Red Hats hat!! Made by "PatternHome's" she has many many beautiful patterns on Etsy for sale PDF format...
Aren't these dresses pretty? Oh I love the festive look!!!

Some Surf-Blogging Photos of Fantastic Crochet .....

 

ok this is just too funny I had to post it. Now it isn't crochet but I thought you would enjoy it. :) This was listed as "firewood" for free on Craig's List... lol....someone cleaned their yard I guess and wanted someone to come haul it away... lol

I was surf-blogging and found this fantastic studio Sarah Applebaum. Isn't she fantastic? This is really way out there love the color choices...yes its yarn...

Visiting over at My Love For You was how I found out about it...

I love this I saw it over at Coco Rose Textiles and she said it comes from this book. I am definitely going to have to get it!!

Ok when I saw this photo over at Crochet Concupscience I was mesmerized by the beauty of the idea. I mean it is a simple idea to web a crochet thread in a corne, but I just never thought it could look so beautiful.

Isn 't it pretty?

These little kitty's are adorable, I love cats they are called Phat Cats and I found these two over at Charlotte's Amigurumi

Well I hope you have enjoyed my little tour of some interesting and talented crocheters and artists... I am off to work on my own "Scrap Afghan"

TTFN,

Happy Birthday To Me!!!
