Expression Fiber Arts Yarn - Absolutely Amazing!

Have you heard of Expression Fiber Arts?  Chandi has some of THE most Beautiful yarns I've ever seen!  I absolutely LOVE how she shares a photo of where she draws her inspiration from each time she creates some new yummy yarn. 
3 very lucky people will be winning gift certificates to her shop. 

Chandi is one of our fantastic sponsors for Round 2 of the Battle of the Stitches.  Our Judges Choice Challenger winner will receive a $50 certificate to Expression Fiber Arts shop,  Our Fan's Choice Challenger winner will receive a $25 certificate and one of our wonderful fans will receive a $10 certificate.  How fun is that!!??  You REALLY need to go check out all the beautiful photos on her website or here Expression Fiber Arts on Facebook

Battle of the Stitches Crochet Challenge Round 2 has Begun!

How exciting is it that the Battle of the Stitches crochet challenge was well received by the crochet community?  I seriously couldn't be more thrilled!  It is so fun to have a group of Designers focusing on something so similar and enjoying it.  It's also exciting that we can bring the joy of crochet to others and share a wide variety of ways to use 1 crochet stitch. 

Round 2 will not disappoint!  We welcome back Schere's Crafty Crochet, Trifles N Treasures, Hatch-ed With Love, The Country Hooker Designs and KT and the Squid as Challengers. 
We're excited to announce our newest challengers for the round: Kaleidoscope Art & Gifts, MNE Crafts, Misty Makes, Cuddle Me Beanies, Harvester Products, Snappy Tots and Knit Pick N Crochet!   

www.BattleoftheStitches.com

This round, our theme is Fun in the Sun and the stitch....the Triangle
I looked at a handful of stitches to give the challengers, but I kept coming back to the Triangle.  It just made me think of Sail Boats and being out on the water and then the Sun - how when you draw a sun on paper, triangles are used a lot for the rays.  So many options and I can't wait to share with you what the challengers design.  Fun in the sun for many means "beach" or "swimming".  While I like to go to our nearby lakes every now and then,  I really enjoy working in the garden.  So, for me, fun in the sun makes me think of flowers and sitting out on my patio having a picnic with the kids and enjoying the day.
What does it mean to you?

Help me name this design for a chance to win the pattern

Who is ready for another fun design?  How many of you liked the Sassy skirt posted a few weeks ago?
I have a fun new skirt that is about ready for release and it needs a name.  This one uses a small amount of Sassy, but I chose the Sassy Lace this time.  Many of you have commented that you are unable to find it, so I will post a few links for you.


 Red Heart Sassy Lace on Amazon

Though I'm not Fabulous, I do love to play with colors in my designs.  I've always really liked the pink, white and blue or even grey color combo, so I had to try it out on the new skirt.
