"This Hearts Stripes Afghan looks so great and looks like it was a machine made afghan. I have not made it yet but have it on my to do list. I'm not a big fan of the cross stitch but will have to see how it looks without it. Not sure I'll do that part of the pattern. Otherwise, Love this one. Thank you for sharing this free afghan pattern."

"I love the edging used in the Vibrantly Vintage Crochet Edging Pattern. The corner stitch design is so beautiful, it is the highlight of the whole edging design which is very appropriate to the design of the granny squares."

"What I like about this Stitch-Sampler Throw are the colors used. I like how the light peach blended well with the greens and blues and how the orange yarn has been carefullt used on the edges."

"I like to try doing this type of project, a medley of stitches in one blanket. That must be really challenging. I wanna try this and I can't wait to start this."

Nothing is more frustrating then when you're in the middle of a row, you need to pull more yarn out of the skein and there goes the ball...it rolls and rolls and rolls, and now there goes the cat. When you're working up a crochet pattern, the last thing you want happening is to be chasing after a ball of yarn. Darn Good Yarn has a new product out that can help make crocheting easier.

The Handmade Wooden Yarn Bowl from Darn Good Yarn is an exquisite piece of art. It is made out of Sheesham wood, which comes from an evergreen rosewood tree. Now I don't know if it was my imagination, but when I took the bowl out of the box I could smell a beautiful smell, almost as if I could still smell the tree that it came from. The amazing woodwork of the bowl is just mesmerizing. The pattern and details throughout just makes me so happy that this was handmade.

Darn Good Yarn continues to amaze me as they work with a co-op in India providing fairtrade, safe jobs for over 600 families. The products are fabulous, just as the cause is. When the bowls were added to their product line they were able to hire 10 more people. By buying and owning one of these bowls you truly are touching other peoples' lives in such a positive way.

This Yarn Bowl is super easy to use -- all you have to do is pull the beginning of the skein through the front design of the bowl and that's it! The bowl will keep your yarn rolling, but in an organized fashion so you don't have to chase after it or worry about your pet getting to it before you. If you're looking to simplify your time crocheting, then you're going to love this bowl.
