Recently I was designing the Rustic Granny Sunflower Square crochet pattern and tested the pattern with different yarns to see which yarn I liked best for this project. The three yarns I used were Lily Sugar ‘n Cream, Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton and Tahki Yarns Classic Cotton. Lily Sugar ‘n Cream is available in almost every craft store, various online sites and at Yarnspirations. I’ve used this yarn in many projects because the color line is fantastic, and the price is reasonable.

Crochet Fat Bottom Bags, Part 2
In my last post, I discussed Fat Bottom Bags. You can read that post here. The body of the bag is usually one large granny square (about 18” square) with a few rows of single crochet on the two sides and top edges and round bamboo handles. This is an easy bag to crochet and the perfect bag for using up scraps of yarn – the different color scraps look fantastic together.
