Pattern Found! Garage Sale find.

I found my pattern thanks to Pammy Sue of Scottys place. She is amazing. If you have not visited her blog please do you will so enjoy her stories, recipes and crochet.  Believe it or not its done mile a minute style. I am so excited to have it and will be on my list of things to do.

Like this blanket?  So do I garage sale for a 1.50...Yea I know see the work?  Its done with maybe a F hook and fingering yarn.  Its stunning.  Its perfect.  All I could think of is the work that went into it and its in a garage sale?  

What do yo think..do you think things that you lovingly make end up in a garage sale or thrift shop?

Happy Friday...Pattern Search!

 Happy Friday...TGIF I am searching for this pattern...Love it!  Must Have it!  
 I found it on ebay for 14.99??   Seriously? Does anyone know what magazine it may have come from? Have a great weekend!

Wool Eater grows....Patriotic afghan

My Wool eater is growing! I am off to Hobby Lobby Saturday with my Daughter in Law to get some more colors. It is taking a lot longer on each row now. Started on a patriotic afghan I have had for a while. After finishing Betsy..I was bummed out that she came out so small. I actually restarted it several times and tried to contact the author of the pattern to no avail. I would have liked it larger but then again its a nice decoration. Pammy Sue and I have talked back and forth about what we would need to do to make it larger. I love Patriotic stuff and have a ton of it. Flags, Longaberger inaugural baskets etc. This book is one of my favorites. I have made many projects in it and use it again and again. The cover is dog eared because of it. This baby afghan..Heartwarming wrap is darling! Have a wonderful day. Chow

Betsy..An American Flag

Meet Betsy...I love her. She is a pattern you can purchase on Ravelry. Some side notes. The star/flowers took longer than the actual throw. They took twice as long and did them three times. Being a perfectionist. I needed them to line up exactly. Did them once cut them off and did again. The red and white going to the blue you must cut every row and weave in also a bugger. If you dont colors blend and it looks bad. Did it once and ripped out all the way back to beginning. But end results are great and I am loving it. I will take more pics later on my way to work. I am thinking next time in a cotton yarn as a table runner? I can see her decorating someones front porch for the fourth! Chow!
