Day 4 from the Yummy You! shoot with model Shannie Bee and photog Crazy Spork I Am!

I know some of you are still basking in the afterglow of your Halloween crafts, but Michaels.com already posted my free crochet pattern for November: Turkey Box Tissue Cozy! Edit, June 4, 2014: Please find the pattern here on my blog. Michaels.com is currently re-vamping their pattern/project section, and the above Michaels.com link is disabled for now.

I got so excited about sharing this project and making it awesome, that I also included the patterns for the little veggies – baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and POTATOES –  as well as the lettuce garnish underneath, which is actually a DISH CLOTH. You could turn the veggies into brooches, fridge magnets, or string them into a crazy necklace!

This is going to sound a little weird, but I got really addicted to making tiny potatoes…!

This is truly one of my most very favorite crochet projects ever, and I’m really proud of how all the components came together. I hope you guys love it, too, and have a lot of fun!

I’ll be offering finished versions of this, as well as my infamous turkey hat, in my Etsy shop very very soon!

Happy Halloween!! Come check out Too Yarn Cute eMagazine, bursting with articles and patterns for crocheting! They approached me and offered to let me talk about…. whatever I wanted! Crochet-related, of course. How could I say no?

It was actually kind of hard for me to nail down what I wanted to write about, so we decided I’d talk about my year of working with Michaels.com and writing free patterns every month, and I also gave Too Yarn Cute readers a sneak peek at my November and December patterns for Michaels.

Michaels already posted the November pattern early … but … you still get a sneak at December! 😉 (I will post more photos of the November pattern tomorrow.)

Once you click on the TYC  link, scroll down a bit and hit up the Christmas issue! There are 18 patterns in this thing, which would normally add up to $74.42, and the eMag is only $4.99. It’s a pretty great deal!

Sushi Scarf! Here is Day 3 from the Yummy You! shoot with model Shannie Bee and photog Crazy Spork I Am! Sorry I posted these so late! We went to a haunted house tonight!
