I Ain't No B.S.er - Pattern Reveal

See.....When

EVERYBODY SAYs DON'T

{b.s.}

What do I go and do?  Make a promise.

A promise I SWORE, too up hold.

I am not going to let anything

B.S.

{big storm}

keep me from posting my pattern today.

DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE

{barbara streisand}

I know, I know, I know....some days I'm just a

FUNNY GIRL

or should I say CRAZY LADY.

I have my cotton yarn all picked out for this one.

I hope you will be able to tell the colors a part.

In fact, sorry about all the color.

The B.S. {big storms} keep me inside.

Did you know I couldn't find a

B.S.

{blank surface}

 in this house to work on.

I"m going to give you the pattern first.

Remember, my WATERMELON or the LUCY BAG

Then I will give you a few picture highlights.

I don't want your mind to go to

 B.S.{brain sludge}

 by looking at too many pictures.

Remember, I'm a lefty, so I work clockwise around.

  Not B.S. {back side}around like you Righties.

Now, you will see what I see

NOTE:  WORKED in TWO Layers

GRID and PETAL 

ROW 1

Magic Circle or Ring

3 CH, 9 DC in circle  {10 DC}

Do not fasten off

ROW2

New Color. 

2DC in each around {20DC}

ROW 3

Back to First ROW

Working in Front POST

5DC, SLIP, 5DC, SLIP around

5 petals formed, Finish of YELLOW

ROW 4

Third Color Attached.

Increase around  2DC, 1DC, 2DC

{don't fasten off, make big loop}

ROW 5

Back to 2nd COLOR Petals

7DC, Skip 1, Slip 1, 7DC, Skip 1, Slip 1 around

Always end with Slip. Fasten Off.

Row 6

Add new Color

Increase around 2DC, 1DC, 1DC, 2DC

{remember do not fasten off}

Row 7

Back a row to make petals

7DC, Skip 1, Slip 1 around

Continue on going back and forth between the

Grid Row {bottom} and the Petal Row {top}

Here are a few pictures to highlight a few tips and tricks.

Only the first row of petals is 5DCs Skip 1, 5DC, Skip on

The rest of the rows are

7DC, Skip 1, Slip 1, 7DC, Skip 1, Slip 1

Here's an example showing the TEAL row Grid done,

now were are going back to the ORANGE Row and adding in the Petals

on the FP behind the Yellow.

The is a B.S. {bad shot}, the front post are there.

Each V stitch is counted on it's own or as 2 stitches.

You won't have to be a

B.S.

{bright student}

to get into the swing of things.

I also, work the

B.S.

{back side}

as I go along,

matching the colors. 

It's a B.S.

{brilliant switch}

move instead of doing the

 B.S. {back side}

later.

So, around and around you go, as many rows as you would like, I did 12.

I did do two extra on the backside to match the front with all the yarn.

Yes, this is surely a way to

B.S.

{bust stash}

Remember the bigger around you go the more yarn you will bust.

Lastly, we are going to slip stitch the two piece together,

with RIGHT SIDE out. 

Leaving an opening for your pillow stuffer.

That's right,  those Round Pillow are hard to find

not even the B.S. {big stores} have them.

So, I whipped up my own

About 1 1/2 bigger than the back side.

Remember it's not a B.S. {big sweat} they do not have to be perfect.

There you go.

My B.S. {beautifully sweet} pillow is done. 

It's that time again.

I've finally getting close to my

300 POSTING

at 295.

"Only 300", my B.S., {blog sisters} you say......

Yes, my friends, after almost two years that's it.

I'm guessing more than likely it's because most of my posting

are

FULL of B.S.

{big stories}

That's means you only have to live through 5 more of my

 B.S. {boring sagas}

before I announce the winner. 

Winner announced at 300.

And in those next  5, I will be revealing 

5 more  B.S. {beyond sense}

 things, one in each  that you did not know about me.

5 things that I can say I've done, that I will guess that not a single one of you have.

Can you think of one thing you have done that no one else hasn't. 

Think about it? Let me know what it is.

Leave a comment here on this post.

I would love for you to link in to the

B.S. {basically fun} Pattern.

Remember, if you have won something here before you still can will again.

Where am I off to next is the big question?

Not quite sure of the pattern

but it must be

80

something.

Lines, Ripples, Squares, Hex, Circles.

That I do not know yet.

But, it's home is.... known......

out in the

EVERGREEN

{one last b.s.}

mountains of Colorado

for my Dad's

80th birthday.

It's time to

B.S.

{brain storm}

See,   I did it.

I SWEAR on something,

and made a promise about bringing you all something

and

 there was no B.S. {ooops!!!}

 I  delivered.

  But, if I hear one "peeping B.S. snippet" about this pattern not

being the G.B.s....

 will,  SAY-LA-VIE. 

Remember, I swore in my G.B. Hat.

So, if it's like one you saw,  G.B. {god bless}

You must know, I'm the first to run from all that

B.S.

{baby stuff}

Weekend Wishes to you All
