Month: October 2018

I spoke with a lady from one of the local yarn groups that meet weekly. She said that she was interested in hearing about the #snowballexpress charity. So, I went to one of their meetings. I printed up information about the #snowballexpress charities goal of collecting blankets for the children next year 2019. I also printed up information about my random free giveaway for the charity.

If you would like to make a blanket to send to the charity, here is the direct link:

I answered all of their questions about what the charity was all about. One lady pulled out a fleece blanket with a crochet border and asked if she could send something like that. I said sure, because it met the blanket guidelines. I decided to add the fleece blanket crochet border video tutorial to my list of blankets eligible for my giveaway.  Sarah commented on my Facebook page about it and shared a picture of her beautiful fleece blanket with a crochet border. She said that she wanted to make one for the charity and participate in my giveaway. I also got a response from Susie and Claudia. So, I decided to add one more prize to the giveaway because I know that a lot of crocheters donate their time and materials to a lot of charities. I added one $100 gift card from Joanns craft store, Hobby Lobby, or Michaels craft store to the random free prizes.

When I saw Sarah’s beautiful fleece blanket with a crochet border, I decided to make one myself and made a new YouTube video tutorial showing how to make the Crochet Clam Shell Border.

The following are the direct Ravelry links to purchase the written patterns:

I was going to write patterns for a local yarn store, but I realized that I probably wouldn’t be a good fit for the yarn store. A lot of the people at the yarn store were primarily knitters and a lot of them crochet too. As most of you know, I am in love with crochet, but I have a deep admiration for knitters. I just chose to stay with crochet. Anyway, that means that I prefer bargain basement yarns from the main craft stores. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to still go to the local yarn stores, because they sell quality/unique yarns. I just realized that I wasn’t the right fit because I don’t go there frequently. Back to my story, I was talking to the nice people at the yarn store, and I showed them this crochet flower design. The holes were too big for a regular baby blanket, but we were in love with the flower pattern that I designed. So, they suggested putting a receiving blanket on the reverse side, and that is how this crochet Flower of My Heart Security Baby Blanket came to be. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
