Hey guys! Another blog entry from my phone :). So my puppy simba is 10 weeks old and a few weeks ago we found out that he had a heart condition called PDA. We are now trying to raise 4000 dollars for his surgery. So we decided to sell some cute keychains (will post pic later). They are 8 dollars including shipping and handling. They have your initial on them and you can even put a picture in the back! How convenient is that? ;).

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I have been working on so projects that I will post after I finish :) I am working on a bag, 2 afghans and some other stuff so trust me, there is a lot coming!!! So you remember how I entered laughingpurplegoldfish's contest? Well I didn't win :( but its cool because I am going to keep trying. For instance this month the contest it to finish stuff and that is why I am going to be posting a ton this month!

My little Man

I have a little puppy named Lincoln. Ok so he is not a little puppy any more he is more like a little man. Haha. So I made Lincoln a bow tie because he begged me. Here it is:

Doesnt he look cute? Haha so here is the pattern:


Starting with the bow:


With a size H hook and worsted weight yarn:


Chain 10
In the 3rd chain from hook Dc. DC until the end of the row
DC 4 more rows.
Here comes the tricky part at the end of the 5th row start crocheting in rounds.

Do not turn your work. Make another dc in the same spot as your last one.

You are now working a row of dc down the length of your rectangle, do this by placing a dc in the end of each of the previous rows.

When you reach the end, work 2dc into the ‘corner stitch’.

Work a row of dc into the other end of your rectangle.

Then 2dc into the next corner, and work along the final side of the rectangle.

(Bolded was taken from laughingpurplegoldfish.com)

Tie off.

Now Switch to a size N needle and pick up two different colored worsted weight yarns.

Holding 2 strands together:

Chain as big as your dogs neck.

DC 1 row

Tie off.

Weave or sew the two ends together to create a circle.

Now with size H needle and 1 color of worsted weight yarn

chain 8 DC 2 rows

Tie off. Wrap that around the bow and the collar type thing and sew the two ends.

Weave in all ends!

Thats it!

Enjoy!
