Crochet Chiq

I will have some better photos up this week :) How on earth do you make these cute scarfs from Redheart's Sashay yarn?? I've been told you can only KNIT them.... HA HA HA Not that I am anti Kniting, I teach a knitting class everyonce in a while ( When I have to!) but I have more hours invested in crochet so I like to stick with crochet, then looming, then knitting. So I haven't taken photos yet so bare with me they will be up sometime this week. First what supplies do you need? 1 ball of Sashay yarn ( only 4.99 at Michael's and you can use a coupon).... though some on my students like a longer and or fuller scarf then you need about 1.5 balls. A size I crochet hook ... though I have made them with a J, H or G , I think it looks best with the "I" though. Okay that's ALL we need to make these wonderful scarfs!!

Hello Everyone!!! I have been very neglectful of this blog,sorry I will try to be on more often, let me show you what I have been up to!!!! I started teaching at 3 different Michael's Arts and Crafts ( The views and statements in this blog are MY OWN and DO NOT reflect or represent Micheal's Arts and Crafts in any way shape or form) ,  Long Beach, Orange and now Huntington Beach ( right by Bella Terra). If you are local come check out my classes, I have even designed 2 classes that are ONLY taught at these Michael's :) I am working on a third class based on the hat pattern I have on this blog, it's just a process of writing out the paperwork. Can I share how much I LOVE my job and how  lucky I feel to be able to crochet for 5-8 hours a day and actually help other crocheters while earn a little dough to support my darling little boys! Check out www.crochetcrowd.com for pattern details, this isn't the exact pattern but Mikey is the amazing one who came up with this...
