Urban Reflection CAL Week 4: Border and Blocking

My Version of the Hooked Up Hold All

It has been so long since I have done Tunisian crochet! It was so so so much fun to refresh my skills by testing this adorable bag for GLAMOUR 4 YOU. 
I decided to do a 3 color variation because I was making it for a friend and she is loving the coral/mint/white combo. If you decide that you want to do the 3 colors as well, in my version, I picked one color that I alternated every other row (the white) and then the other two colors were used in between the white stripes.
The ONLY drawback that I noticed when doing this 3 color version is that when carrying colors up the side the strands don't hide as well as if you just alternate two colors. I do LOVE how this version turned out though!
This bag turned out ADORABLE!!!! I absolutely love Glamour 4 You's patterns and this Tunisian purse is just so much fun. It is small and perfect for a quick project. The pattern is full of pictures and detailed instructions. You can find the pattern listed on RAVELRY. If you like this pattern you should also check out Glamour 4 You's WEBPAGE.

Owl Dish Scrubbie

Here is the window dressing promised in the Scrubbie Teaser Post from a couple weeks ago! How freaking adorable are these little owls???? I was so excited when my friend came to me with this idea! I approached Lorene from Cre8tion Crochet and asked her what she thought about me linking to her post and I was soooo glad that she was ok with it! Look how cute these are!!!!! 
Alright, so step one is going to be to complete the scrubbie from the previous post, found HERE. Once you have completed that you can follow along with the rest of the pattern here:
Materials  Cotton yarn in as many colors as you like. (You will want to use cotton so that it absorbs water and is more durable for repeated washings. I (5.5 mm) Hook Yarn needle Extra strips of nylon net material from previous step. You are going to stuff the owl with it.
Notes You can put a scrubbie in front, or in back or in both places. However you think it will work best! I have completed one owl with the scrubbie in the front (the orange an…

I haven't made one in about 5 yrs. I got into a slump and between this chevron afghan and another that has me busy currently, I have come back into the world of afghans! I LOVE making them again! : D HOORAY! Also, for me, it was so fun and refreshing to be making this in boy colors. I have two girls so it isn't often that I get to play around with blues and greens and it was so so much fun!

If you are a member of pretty much any crochet group on social media I'm betting by now you have heard of or seen the new planned pooling argyle craze. To catch you up in case you have no idea what I am talking about: color pooling with yarn is what happens when you work with a variegated yarn and the colors either seem to group together or form distinguishable patterns within your finished item. I'm sure you've made a hat or and somehow the green in the variegated yarn always seems line up or something similar. Planned pooling is basically planning ahead of time to make your variegated yarn come together in a way that creates a …
