Crocheted Guitar Pick Holders

After many inquiries I am writing down one way to make the guitar pick holders;)

You will need:

• yarn - I like Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn
• Crochet Hook between E/4 and G/6

Ch 5, then sl st in original ch to make a loop
Rnd 1: Ch 3, dc 14 into the middle of the loop (not inside the chain, but the hole), sl st in top of ch -3 to  close (it will be slightly concave)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, sc in next st (front loop only), and all the way around (front loops only), end with a sl st into the top of your ch st          
Rnd 3: Ch 2, *(sc in next st (front loop only), fbftog next 2 front loops)* Repeat * to * around til you get to the beg, then sl st in ch to close
Tail: Ch 20, sl st in the base of the starting ch

To finish: ch 1 and pull, cut the strand and weave the extra yarn back in and glue=)
Voila!
Makes a great gift for the guitar lover that can't keep track of their picks, lol! You can fold it into itself to put on the neck of the guitar or make the last chain longer to attach to the strap. You can even attach it as a key chain! Great sentimental, thoughtful, handmade gift.

If you don't want to figure out how to make them, but would like them as party favors, or a Birthday Gift, you can order them today and we will make and ship them within 3 days.

How did I learn to crochet?

While at the Banner Elk Herb Festival a very kind and beautiful woman that bought the scarf to the right(Thank you again S. B. !!!!) asked me how I learned to crochet. So here's the story...
There was a woman, F.G. and her daughter, M. G.  that used to crochet REALLY fast. I would stare in awe, so confused as to how they knew where to put their loops. I glanced at a pattern and decided to myself this was way too complicated for me. I knew how to knit and pearl a scarf, or pot-holder, anything with straight edges and that was it.
Fast-forward 4 years to a year ago... I saw these really cute patterns for crocheting online and noticed this book I had forever had how to crochet in there. So I bought a crochet hook and yarn and stared at that book. Oh how I studied it! I figured out how to chain, but how to make the second row, I could NOT figure out. I took my hook and yarn to my home group to see if anyone knew how to crochet to no avail. I was determined, so I sat in my car waiting to go babysit. I said, "God, please give me understanding on how to do this. I don't get it." I looked at the book again and I tried to make a row and I did it!!! I understood how to do it! Thank You God. And it was then that I understood that all my life God had given me understanding. I always did very well in school, but I never realized that it was because of His grace with me. I am so very grateful for this lesson and to be able to crochet. He is so good to us, even when we don't give Him credit or know He is the one helping us. Thank You again Abba, I love You=)

You can learn to crochet too!!! It is very fun, although I have discovered my favorite thing is creating things with God. I don't like making the same thing over and over and over! =)

Toddler's Cupcake Hat Pattern

I just started crocheting with my Baby Bee Yarn (so soft!) and this is what turned out. I had to go back to write the pattern. The Lord is my helper!! I am so excited about it. I have it for sale on my etsy store and zibbet store.  You can actually wear this hat 3 different ways! I'm going to work on writing out a pattern for adults to make it to!! Thank You Lord for helping me!

I recently watched a man on Sid Roth who had gone from below the poverty line to one of the richest men in America. And he said the verse in Malachi about tithing and the blessings of heaven being poured out can come in the form of an idea. Ever hear the expression "a million dollar idea"? Well he has gone from rags to riches in a very short time-span. So I can see how the Lord has given me many ideas, and yet I didn't do anything with them. All this time I thought it was a monetary only verse, but my mind has been expanded. I'm excited to create with our Creator! What is He showing you??=)
