Bright, fun accent pieces are a great way to add to your home decor. Make them yourself with colors to match your style, and they really add a personal touch.

I had so many ideas for this summer, I've even finished many projects I had put on hold, and now they only need to be written, and posted. But time says its word, and summer is almost leaving us. So when I received this alize burcum yarn, I envisioned this shawl immediately and began working on it. It's easy to make once you know how to crochet the six petal flower, which by the way, is popular. I incorporated it in this triangle shawl in a way that makes it almost unnoticeable at first glance, then, after a few seconds, you see multi-colored flowers in between the mono repetitive clusters pattern. It's fun. I hope you enjoy making this fall welcoming shawl!

If you have not tried the Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball yarn yet, I would encourage you to give it a try. Just imagine spending a cool, crisp morning ride out in the country in a beautiful sleigh with the snow on the ground and sun shining through the trees. You are snuggled under a blanket, dressed in your warm clothes with your pretty lace wrap on. The silver bells on the sleigh are making their beautiful music as the sleigh glides through the snow. When I saw the colors of this yarn, this is the picture that came to my mind. Enjoy each moment. Wearing an asymmetrical shawl is so easy to dress up any fashion statement. It takes seconds to drape the wrap around your shoulders and you are off looking so stylish. Add a beautiful brooch for another decorative and timeless look.

I LOVE the scrubbies that are made from net but it hurts my hands to work with the netting so I designed a scrubbie to hold nylon net scrubbers. There are lots of patterns that crochet around the net. They are wonderful, but I usually buy the dollar store packs of scrubbers and they fall apart quickly. I wanted something I could keep using and just replace the nylon scrubber. Materials Cotton yarn in one or two colors of choice G Crochet Hook Yarn needle, nylon scrubbie
