Southern Trails Shawl Week 3

by 5 Comments

We’re moving right along and now we’re in Week 3 of the Southern Trails Shawl Crochet-Along!  It’s such an honor to bring the Color Wheel Yarn promotion sponsored by Michael’s!  The yarn is still expected to be available on-line at the end of the month….so hang on for those waiting to order!

The shawl project is the second project in the 5 month series of the Michael’s campaign.  If you didn’t see the first one…..go check out the Love Me More Scarf!  You’ll love it.

Let me give you a recap of the yarn if this is the first time you’ve seen it.

The yarn is a new addition to the Loops and Thread brand and is called Colorwheel.  There are 54 colors in the line, and I can tell you by the ones they sent me….you are gonna love it! There are so many shades that compliment one another, you could spend hours trying to figure out a color scheme for your project.  You’ll even get 12 variations of the color blue!  At this time it is only available in the stores but is expected to be available on line very soon!  I’ll be sure to come back and let you know as soon as it is available on line for sure!

Here are the specifications:

  • The yarn is a (#4) worsted weight yarn
  • 90 yards/1.75 oz/50 grams
  • Machine wash/tumble dry low
  • 100% anti-pilling
  • $1.99/skein

The yarn is super soft and would be what I would describe as a full #4 weight yarn.  I know some worsted weight can feel lighter but this yarn is a true worsted weight.

The Colorwheel yarn was released in over 800 stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.  If you want to know whether the yarn is in your local stores, Michael’s has a store finder on their page.  You can easily find the store closest to you and give them a call to see if they have it!

If you aren’t a member of the ELK Studio Crocheter’s FB group…whatcha waiting on?  We have all skill levels in there, so you can get your questions answered by a very supportive group of people!  We actually call ourselves the ELKies!

Love Me More Scarf by ELK Studio

by 22 Comments

When Michael’s asked me if I was interested in doing a 5 month campaign promoting their new yarn, I was thrilled!  I shop at my local Michael’s in Columbus, Georgia all the time so it was easy to say yes to such a great company!

If you want to see all the colors, view the FB Live event HERE plus see the upcoming CAL project!

Please Favorite of Queue in Ravelry!

The yarn is a new addition to the Loops and Thread brand and is called Colorwheel.  As you can see by the photo above, I’ve been playing with it and have a new FREE pattern for you that you’ll find by scrolling below.

The Colorwheel yarn is out in the stores TODAY and will be available on-line later this month!  There are 54 colors in the line, and I can tell you by the ones they sent me….you are gonna love it! There are so many shades that compliment one another, you could spend hours trying to figure out a color scheme for your project.  You’ll even get 12 variations of the color blue!

Let me give you the specifications:

  • The yarn is a (#4) worsted weight yarn
  • 90 yards/1.75 oz/50 grams
  • Machine wash/tumble dry low
  • 100% anti-pilling
  • $1.99/skein

The yarn is super soft and would be what I would describe as a full #4 weight yarn.  I know some worsted weight can feel lighter but this yarn is a true worsted weight.

The Colorwheel yarn will be released in over 800 stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.  If you want to know whether the yarn is in your local stores, Michael’s has a store finder on their page.  You can easily find the store closest to you and give them a call to see if they have it!

For the first project in the campaign, I wanted to pick some fun and cheery colors, so I chose from white to strawberry!  I loved the way the yarn stitched up in the project and think you will definitely love it too!

So to keep you excited, next month (April) we will do a CAL (Crochet-Along).  I’ll release the materials along with the type of project at the end of this month.

Supplies:

  1.  Loops and Threads Colorwheel, #4 Worsted Weight Yarn, 100% Anti-pilling Acrylic, 90 yards/50g, Colorways: White (1 skein), Light Pink (2 skeins), Mid Pink (2 skeins), Strawberry (2 skeins)
  2. Hook Size:  J/6.00
  3. Tapestry Needle for Weaving in the ends.

Abbreviations:
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet
st(s) – stitch(es)

Gauge: 12 hdc and 9 rows = 4”

Finished Measurements: 73″ x 16″

Notes:

  • Ch 2 does not count as the first hdc.
  • I did not want an edging for this project because I felt like the way the pattern is constructed, that it looks fine without one.  Of course, you can always add a single crochet edging if you’d like.
  • You will actually have one less row on the decreasing side which gives you a total of 158 rows instead of 159.  The reason for this was to ensure the decreasing side started on the right side of the project.  It will not make a noticeable difference to have one less row….I promise.

Special Stitches:

X-Stitch (x-st):  Skip next st, hdc in next st, hdc in skipped st.
hdc2tog:  yo, insert hook into the next st, pull up a loop, yo, insert hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, yo and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.

Color Changes:
32 Rows:  White
20 Rows:  Light Pink
16 Rows:  Mid Pink
23 Rows:  Strawberry
Then reverse the color scheme once you complete the strawberry color.

It’s a Sweet Roll Yarn Sale at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores!

by 20 Comments

Get ready to sneak into the piggy bank.  All you’ll need is $10 plus a little change for tax!  Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores sponsored this post because they wanted me to tell all the ELKies out there the Sweet Roll Yarn is ON SALE!  You can get 3 skeins for $10 starting February 19th until February 25th!

Be sure to scroll all the way down because you know that I can’t promote such a good sale without designing a brand NEW pattern for you!!!  I think you’ll love it because it works up so quickly and looks fantastic!

Look at all those amazing colors!  You’ll definitely want to check out the individual colors too because yea…..they are all spectacular!  I honestly wished that I had a couple rolls of each color, don’t you?

Remember a few months ago, I designed a few patterns using the yarn myself?

You can see the Dixie Charm Poncho  Below! (I used the Raspberry Swirl for this one)

Swirling Pebbles Scarf and Hat!

Now….are you ready to see the brand new pattern that I have for you!  I’m super excited!  I know the wonderful sale is 3 of the Sweet Roll Yarns for $10, so if you were to buy 6 of them for just $20, you could make 3 gifts!  Talk about getting ahead and being prepared maybe for Christmas this year!

I hope you love the Vintage Bloom Scarf!  It’s super adjustable so it would be easy for you to increase or decrease the width of the project….and you’ll just repeat a few rows until you’ve reach your desired length!

As you can see above, I wrapped the scarf around twice, but in the photo below you’ll see a close up of the stitching and where I wrapped the scarf around three times!  The yarn and stitch pattern really work together like a hand in a glove because the fabric is “free-flowing” and allows for a beautiful drape.

I can totally see this done in the Blueberry and Blackberry colors but the Pepper would definitely be a statement type of project to wear too!  What colors would you choose?

Don’t forget the sale doesn’t start until tomorrow so don’t worry if you aren’t seeing the 3 for $10 displayed today…..You’ll just come back here tomorrow and buy it on-line or take a little road trip to your nearest Jo-Ann store!
