Hi I’m going to try and follow your pattern I was wondering if you have any patterns for a small crochet bow to go onto it I can’t seem to fine any ones I’ve attached a photo of what I’m aiming for although I’m not sure if the photo is knitted or crochet

The dog in the photo you sent favors our yorkipoo, Khloe.

Crochet hooks can be dangerous!
I tried to put a comfort cushion on one of my tiny steel hooks once to make it easier to work with. I stabbed my palm and I couldn't get it out because it kept hooking the tendons in my hand. Be careful !

This book is a wonderful
addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns as well as
well-illustrated instructions for the crochet stitches, assembly stitches and
other embellishments used in the patterns. The patterns are well written, some
of the book is written in a small font but the pictures are wonderful.
NOTE: This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small parts used in the patterns. Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child you intend the gift for.

I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.
Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating beautiful
crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was the section
on the yarns used in the patterns.
One page shows "actual size" photos of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to.
For those who stay strictly to the recommended yarn in a pattern Katherine has
included a yarn resource list.
The projects are very fashionable and perfect for gift giving... though I'm
sure you'll have to make something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

Grandma was telling her little grand-daughter about her own childhood:
"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it
hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild
raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish
I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
The farmer stood in his chicken yard watching hundreds
of baby chicks running here and there. He kept pointing
to them and trying to count them. "One, two, three, four,
five, six,... Oh, no..." then he would start over, "one,
two, three, four, and,...
Oh, no." Then he'd start over again.
Finally he said, "I give up. They say 'Don't count your
chickens before they hatch,' but it sure is easier to do
that than it is to count them after they hatch."
Carl, my husband, and I, were building a sunroom to accommodate
our new hot tub. The project soon turned into a money pit. During
one of our numerous trips to the hardware store, Carl inquired
about exhaust fans.
The store clerk looked them up on the computer and praised one
fan in particular because it was exceptionally quiet.
Carl asked him for the price. After receiving the answer, he sighed
and asked, "Do you have anything louder?"
The man passed out in a dead faint as he came out of his front
door onto the porch. Someone called 911.
When the paramedics arrived, they helped him regain conscious-
ness and asked if he knew what caused him to faint.
"It was enough to make anybody faint," he said. "My son asked
me for the keys to the garage, and instead of driving the car
out, he came out with the lawn mower!"
I was leaving for a two-day conference, and my seven-year-old
daughter, Katherine, was becoming overly clinging and teary.
I was mystified at her emotional reaction until I heard her
say to my husband, "Daddy, I have a loose tooth. If it falls
out while Mommy is gone, do you know how to handle this tooth
fairy thing?"
When a music student brought his French horn to my shop for
repair, he complained that the instrument “felt stuffy” and
he couldn’t blow air through it. It’s not unusual to find
partial blockages in brass instruments if small items get
lodged in the tubing, but when I tested the instrument,
the horn was completely blocked. After much probing and
prodding, a small tangerine dropped out of the bell.
“Oh,” said the musician when I handed him the fruit. Seeing
the bewildered look on my face, he explained, “My mom used
the horn for a cornucopia in a Thanksgiving centerpiece.”
