It’s been a month since we started the last pattern party with Ashley from edythblayn.com. Since then, I have decided to take a step back from the party, but fear not, Ashley is still planning to keep it going, so I hope you’ll continue to join her and submit your free patterns and participate!  I’m hoping to join in whenever I have a new party as well 😀

With our new blog direction, and a life full of two trouble-bound kiddos, it has become too difficult for me to juggle the party as well.  So, it’s a bitter sweet good bye.  It was a blast doing this with you guys and Ashely, but I’m also looking forward with great excitement to the next chapter in the A Purpose and A Stitch blog.

Now without getting too mushy on ya, lets get to the fun stuff…

Here are the top 5 winners from our last party, so if you’re looking for a fun, unique and free crochet pattern for this time of year, we’ve got just the ones! It never ceases to amaze me at just how creative everyone who participates is!

#1 Flowers Go Round and Around Dishcloth by Coffee n’ Crafts

#2 Mini Reindeer by Grace and Yarn

#3 Butterfly Net Shawl by Meladora’s Creations

#4 Bee Drawstring Sunglass Bag by Itchin’ for Some Stitchin’

#5 Crochet Rooster Potholder by Raffamusa Designs

For each pattern party, Ashley and I were also sharing  some of our favorite patterns from our blogs.  This pattern, we are sharing some fun fall festive patterns.

Thank you to all of our participants- designers and voters alike!  If you enjoy these parties, please share on social media to get the word out.  I also hope you’ll show some lovin’ to Ashley and check out her social media outlets as well.
