Essential Oils Guide for Crocheters

The cat is out of the bag! I've been using and experimenting with oils for 3 years now, that I now realized that I need to share it with you! We have experimented with oils to help with Physical, Spiritual and Emotional Wellness. 

Crocheting is a huge emotional boost for me, I enjoy it so much that I tend to crochet all the time to relax. I'm a little introverted and don't say much, so I do my "release" through crocheting. I know, I know, I can't keep it bottled up, and that is my Resolution! Open Up!! 

Many of us crochet for leisure, and for some it has turned into a business or a full on hobby that it is starting to take a toll on our hands, neck, back and shoulders. That is just the physical aspect, I just finished with my Christmas orders that I barely made by the deadline! So, on top of the physical pain, I was getting very overwhelmed and stressed out to make my deadline. I normally design my own patterns, and some I have had to purchase patterns for yarns I'm not experienced with, this caused a lot of eye strain for me due to my limited vision. 

So, I hope my guide to Essential Oils will help you create a calm, stress-free and painless environment the next time you pick up your hook! 

ALL of these oils are in the Premium starter kit! When you order your kit, you are saving over $150 AND get a free 5mL Citrus Fresh Vitality Oil! As always you get to enjoy the 24% Wholesale Discount on your orders AND Essential reward points to spend on more oils for free!

Sparkly Scrubby Dish Mat (FREE Pattern)

I got some pretty yarn to play with a few weeks ago! First up is a new sparkly scrubby yarn!!

I searched for a new design that hasn't been done yet, so what better project to do to go with the other free dish scrubby projects than to have a dish mat to go with it?

I found myself having to take breaks making this as it is very rough on your hands but trust me, the end result is beautiful!

So, without further ado, here is the pattern!

Materials
Red Heart Sparkly Scrubby Yarn
Sugar n Cream Cotton Yarn
J Hook
Yarn Needle

Finished Size: 19" x 13"

Gauge is not important

Stitches
Ch - Chain
Hdc - Half Double Crochet

Note: You will double strand crochet for this project with one strand scrubby and one strand cotton.

Pattern
Chain 51.
Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook. Hdc  in each ch across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2-28: Hdc in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.
