Product Review: Ottlite Craft Caddy



I received the Ottlite Craft Caddy to review and the first thing I noticed was how lightweight it is (don't want anything heavy to carry around) and the compartments. I love the compartments because I am always searching for a place to keep my crochet hooks and other tools nearby when working. To learn about the other things I feel make this a great crochet tool view my Youtube video. To purchase: there is a sale here (there is a 20% off for your first order), here is another place to purchase (also a sale)  or you can click the picture to your right under Recommendations.

I received the product mentioned above for free using  Ottlite.com via Facebook. It came about as I was trying to order a replacement bulb for my task lamp and was asked if I would like to try this product.  Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally own and believe will be good for my readers. In addition I own the Ottlite Task Lamp.



Enjoy!

Fall Crocheted Ponchos

Although I am still finishing up some  summer crocheting I am already thinking about new ponchos. I love them for the Fall, comfortable,light yet warm and stylish.
Getting some patterns together for them
Crocheted mesh stitch with yarn and ribbon yarn.

FB fascinator Collage for my page 



ribbon crochet chain 3
Crochet ribbon slip knot
 For this ribbon I used a size G crochet hook. In this photograph once I folded the ribbon it is pretty easy to begin crocheting the ribbon. (I had run out of purple ribbon so used the white ribbon for demonstration). Loved this ribbon because it had a slight sheen silver-like in it.

Crocheted ribbon fascinator - handband, bendable ribbon, beads and feathers
 I have to say that is was very comfortable to wear. With everything bending I was 
 able to move feathers out of the way from my eyes. I want to experiment with a different type of feather.

 Have a lot of other ideas for some summer fascinators. I think I will try another crocheted fascinator soon, thinking of creating one in black.

Until the  next time ~ Keep  the Faith and lots of yarn.

Yours,
