Wednesday Round Up 10/15/14 ~ Scoodies

Scoodie-Round-Up

Scoodies are just fun!! What’s a scoodie? It’s a scarf and a hood, all as one piece. I love that you don’t get that draft on the back of your neck from the space between your hat and your scarf, and they keep your ears warm, too! Fun and functional, what’s not to love?!

So, I have put together a round up of scoodie crochet patterns for you. I even included a bonus knit pattern at the end.

Fall Cleaning 2014

Some people do spring cleaning. I am more of a fall cleaning kind of girl. Something about fall makes me want to get everything in order. Maybe it’s Doug and the girls all going back to school and me actually having an empty house so I can get more done. Plus, when I am alone I seem to notice the clutter more.

So…I have been trying to get the house in order, and find a routine that works. I am enjoying the TV/laptop free afternoons from when the girls get home until after dinner. I am able to go through the mail and school papers while they do homework, and still help them when they need it. I have been doing better about staying on top of the laundry, and the house is slowly getting more presentable.

I am also going through my computer files and cleaning up. I have lots of partial patterns to finish up. My friend Kim was recently saying how de~cluttering helps her mood, and I have to agree. I need to de~clutter!

Remember when I got some pretty new yarn from Lion Brand in the mail?

Reversible Color Crochet by Laurinda Reddig ~ Book Review

A few weeks ago, I received a copy of Laurinda Reddig’s new book: Reversible Color Crochet. I was quite excited, as I had been wanting the book since Laurinda first told me about it at the Knit and Crochet Show last October. Then I took a make and take with her at the Knit and Crochet Show this past July where we made a mini (coaster size) version of the first square in the book.

I was not disappointed! The book starts off with a section explaining how to use the book, and some wonderful tips. Laurinda explains the special stitches and reversible color changes in a very clear way, and with lots of helpful pictures. It is nice to start off feeling like she is right there, holding your hand along the way!

As the weather gets a bit chilly, I love accessorizing with ear warmers. They are great for keeping ears warm, without giving you hat hair! So, I have put together a selection of ear warmer patterns for you this evening.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
