Dual Duty Scrubber Crochet Pattern

Double Duty Scrubber Free Crochet Pattern by www.CityFarmhouseStudio.comA few weeks ago I was running to the store and I asked my husband if he needed anything, his response caught me a bit by surprise – “buy more dish cloths for the kitchen.”

We had several Ikea packs of dish cloths to where they had their own stack in the cabinet, so many they filled to the top of the shelf.  Also, we had several hand made crochet scrubbers that were given to us as gifts.  Over time, unbeknownst to me, they had been deemed unusable and disappeared (they were getting beyond just being called “used”).  I looked in the cabinet and we were down to 2 dish cloths.

So we needed more dish cloths. Continue reading “Dual Duty Scrubber Crochet Pattern”

Hand Knit Cabled Cowl

Hand Knit Cabled Cowl by City Farmhouse Studio

Last December I posted the machine knit version of this cowl (find it here).  I have worn the solid grey so much so I thought I would make another one, and this time with some color.

Instead of doing it on the machine I did it by hand.  I had some several trips with decent travel time so it was a great project to work on instead of socks.  It is small and easy enough to manage through car trips, airport delays, and the plane flight without being too bulky and cumbersome to carry.

If you are like me and you like to wear a statement necklace, but most seem to be too heavy around your neck – here is the answer!  CROCHET JEWELRY!!!

Aunt Lydia’s makes metallic crochet thread (find it here) that gives that “metal” jewelry look without the weight.  It is available in gold and silver, but other colors as well.  Just think of all the fun possibilities!

Using the gold crochet thread I wanted to make something that I could wear as a longer statement pendant  that I wouldn’t feel was choking me or was like a weight swinging from my neck.

A quick circular motif that is worked in sections builds up to make the pendant, and the tassel at the end (which isn’t required to look fabulous) but definitely adds another element to make a statement.

Machine Knit Camo Beanie

Free machine knitting baby/toddler/child beanie. www.cityfarmhousestudio.com

Earlier this year, the family and I went to the Ann Arbor Fiber Expo.  We came across this local yarn dyer called Splash of Color, and my eye was caught by this yarn that had camo colors with fluorescent orange speckles in it.  The sample she had swatched of it I really liked.  The camo wasn’t overwhelming it, it didn’t look like mud, and the orange had just enough pop to brighten it up.  When the girls saw it they loved it so we bought 2 hanks to make two hats.

Crochet Cotton Candy Popcorn Cowl

Crochet Cotton Candy Popcorn Cowl. Buttercream Thick and Thin yarn.

Recently I have started spinning my own yarn from wool, and of course it looks like beginner yarn.  After plying I found that some areas are thick and chunky, while others were thinner than a DK weight yarn.  I thought crochet would be a great way to highlight the weight differences and make the item really textural.  So, I asked myself what I would like out of wool would be chunky and thick.”  A cowl!  After living in Michigan for nearly 20 years (originally from Texas) I have finally come to realize that no matter how warm your coat is, if your feet and head/neck are cold it means you are cold.  So, a thick and chunky cowl made out of wool would be a great item to have for this winter.
