National Crochet Month 2017

This year’s theme for the Blog Tour is Glamping.

Glamping NatCroMo 2017

Glamping = Glamorous Camping

Before I went online to research what Glamping was, I’d have told you Glamping was ‘camping’ where you had access to showers and toilets and electricity – I mean to me that is glamorous! Camping for me is tents, backpacks, fires, roasting marshmallows, hiking, swimming and nature.

Glamping is so much more than I expected…here are some amazing glamping pics I found on Instagram (I love the embed feature on Instagram!):

For more fantastic sources check out this site: Glamping and this one is for Glamping in the British Isles – England and if you scroll to the bottom they have links for Ireland, Wales, Scotland, etc.

Next I went searching for Glamping Accessories…and the items available are extraordinary. There are tables and hammocks and chandeliers… This one site Boutique Camping has a little bit of EVERYTHING and I’m in love with their use of color and fun accessories! They even have crocheted blankets!

I fell in love with their embroidered cushions

 

and Indian Rag Rugs...

 

I had to remind myself I was NOT shopping I was looking for inspiration…and I realized there were a lot of different levels to Glamping – there were the high-end Glamping Locations and then there were the Glampers who just wanted to add a little bit of extra ‘pretty’ and ‘fun’ to their camping experiences. I had a few ideas now for what I would crochet for you along the theme – banners and pennants, a pretty tent zipper pull, I considered a mandala wall hanging, pretty potholders and even a dream catcher…I finally decided on a Deluxe Beauty Sleep Mask – because what is more glamorous than being able to nap during the day? Plus I tend to be a bit practical in my application of crochet – I want to be able to use my finished items 😉 So without further ado – here is a free crochet pattern for my Beauty Sleep Mask. Please visit this post for the full written pattern: Deluxe Beauty Sleep Mask

    Hi Marie, If you are working on one of my hat patterns and it indicates 1 hdc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 hdc in the next st….or something similar…it means for the first two stitches you work 1 hdc in each of them and then the next stitch you work 2 hdc into it. Then you repeat in the stitches around the hat, so: 1 hdc in the next st, 1 hdc in the next st, 2 hdc in the next st… Hope this helps 🙂

    Thanks so much, Rhondda, for celebrating NatCroMo 2017 so generously! I also appreciate the gentle reminder that taking the time to make something beautiful to help oneself/someone relax is as worthy and luxurious as a nap itself!
