Hello All,

I hope this finds you doing well and staying safe and cool. Wildfires are continuing out west and as always my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected🙏🙏

Updates on a few of my crochet projects that I am working on....

Slowly trying out new yarns so that I can give honest reviews and hope it helps you with future purchases :)

This first project is using Lion Brand unbanded 1 lb. of yarn in possible #5 or maybe #6 weight yarn in Grey. I'm working on a Granny Triangle Wrap.

Next up is yarn from Mary Maxim - 1lb. Solids in the color Sky @ 1lb. Bag of Yarn - Solids on sale for $4.99(regular price $9.99) You CAN'T choose the color you want. 

I  have shopped @  Mary Maxim a couple of times and have never had a problem with ordering or shipping. I can honestly recommend them to you.

This project is affectionately called the Cat Stitch Scarf although I have deliberately  made the chain stitch, bottom stitch tighter than the Cat Stitch (aka Puff Stitch) to create a wrap around. I found the video where Crystal from Bag O' Day crochet gives you a tutorial on this @ Bag O' Day Crochet

Another 1lb. Bag of Yarn - Solids ordered a week later, surprise! lol Same color.

This yarn I am using to crochet a Coronation Scarf by The Secret Yarnery

Next up is another scarf project using  Red Heart Soft Essentials I found on clearance $3 at Michaels. Most of the skeins I have of just 1 color will mainly be used up on 1 project at a time. 

I've learned the V stitch with this one and it's going pretty smooth

This next one is using 1 skein I have of each color in White, Autumn Red and Guacamole

 White is Caron Simply Soft

Autumn Red is Caron Simply Soft

Guacamole is Red Heart Soft.

All 3 of these were on clearance as well at 2 of my local craft stores.  You may be able to find them online...

 This is Quilt Inspired crochet from The Unraveled Mitten. It is a wall hanging. I have more yarn for another one of these but in different colors. I'll take pictures of the yarn when I am ready to start another one.

                   I named this 1 East Coast Stitcher's perfectly Imperfect Wall Hanging  as you can see I was learning to use 2 colors without cutting and restarting. It was a challenge but I did manage by watching how to do a triangle granny square. 

I'm still working on solid color granny squares for a blanket of many colors. This is what I have so far each color is a 50g skein and I have 2 each. Mira Handcraft yarn on Amazon. 12 color pack.

I can get around 9 squares out of 2- 50 gram skeins, I think I'll call this 1 my mismatched granny square blanket 

1 more project which I am trying to use up what yarn I have before buying any. 

This one I may have shown before but wanted to show an update. Caron Skinny Cakes found on clearance. This will most likely be a granny square Vest. The color is Citron Fizz

My yarn budget is low so no more buying for a few months... Can't really Afford to buy anymore.... which is why I chose to be an affiliate for Premier Yarns & signed up on BuyMeACoffee. Anything I earn will go back into my yarn budget for yarn and  I may give away what I make and give anyone that helps me out a shout out here and will GIVE them a crocheted Project if they would like it. I am doing this because I want to and because I love making things for other people. I'll list what yarns and colors I purchased and let you choose the color or colors you like IF you would like me to send you a finished project. Email me @ rebelrosecreations@gmail.com

So Would you consider buying me a coffee?

Crochet Project Finish! and Rant over :)

 Hello All,

I hope this finds you doing well and staying safe. As always prayers are with every one affected by the wildfires and excessive heat. 🙏

In my Friday July 30th Post I had shown a new project that I was working on. The Rectangle Granny Scarf. I actually finished it fairly quick and really enjoyed the yarn ,I used Lion Brand  Cotton Candy Blend. Refer to previous post for the pattern and blog of the Designer The Unraveled Mitten. 

I hoped I caught the yellow, green and red colors plus the sparkle in the 1st photo.

5 rows from center to edge on each side = 1 skein with a little left over turned out to be 5 -1/2 inches wide and 66 inches long.

Next up pertaining to the rant about Lion Brand & FedEx. My package which was the Mystery Box of #4 & #5 weight yarns showed up at my local PO on Saturday July 31st. There were still no updates on shipping for 10 days. As I said before I haven't had a problem until now with Lion Brand or my orders but I am thinking from now on, I'll just find Lion Brand yarns elsewhere due to the fact I enjoy working with their yarns. This is the package contents which the box was a little worse for wear, it seemed to have been under other much heavier boxes. 

I now have the Green, Red and Black of the Twisted Cotton yarn. Those may end up being a lot of hand towels & Wash cloths since it is 100% cotton. The Rewind Tape Yarn, I'm still deciding on what to do with it and the other Ice Cream Cotton Blend. Not sure about that either, The yarn was in good shape considering the condition of the box.
