A Giveaway with Red Heart Yarn and 2 Crochet Books, Plus a Lace-Up Boot Topper Design

I have a fun giveaway and crochet design to share with you today.

You can get yourself in the running for a copies of Simply Adorable Crochet: 40 of the Cutest Projects Ever and Fabulous & Flirty Crochet along with a skein of the new Red Heart Reflective Yarn and a skein of Red Heart Lustersheen.

I was so excited to work with the reflective yarn. Being that it has such a great safety feature I thought I'd make a pair of boot toppers for when I ride.

This was my favorite photo as you can see the reflection of all the pink on the bike.

I crocheted a rectangle that is about 15 stitches wide by 11 rows tall with a size 16mm crochet hook.

The rectangles actually get used sideways so the width is actually vertical.

I crocheted a chain to use as the cord to lace them up the back. For the chain stitch I used a size K hook and made each about 4 feet long.

I saw another blogger take a photo using a flash to try to share how the cool reflective quality of the yarn works so here is my "flash photo".

I can't wait to where my new reflective boot toppers riding at night to see how they work on the freeway.

Wonder how useful that yarn will be for use with special needs children and a UV light?
We frequently use a tent or dark room and with A UV light make use of reflective things with special needs or visually impaired childern.
So Im thinking this yarn could be great fun to use in so many ways, as well as knitting or crochet!
Must keep an eye out for it over here.
Love the boot topper idea, so many cyclists here in UK dont show up nearly as well as they should in the dusk or darkness.
