Off the Hook Monday Link Party {Week 1}

I'm super excited to announce that the Off the Hook Link Party is back in business. It's going to be even better than before because this time, I've got Rebecca from Little Monkeys Crochet co-hosting. Rebecca and I are blogging buddies, and we recently realized just how much we have in common. 

Rebecca is a work-at-home-mommy to two of the most precious little boys on the planet (Sam is 3, Isaiah is 2); wife to her best friend, Zack, a youth pastor; and completely imperfect child of God, who gives her the grace she says she needs to navigate this crazy life. Rebecca started blogging and publishing patterns in early 2014 under the name "Little Monkeys Crochet" after the precious little monkeys who call her mommy. She finds beauty in simplicity, even as a crochet pattern designer, and she tries to design modern patterns that will inspire newbies and seasoned crocheters alike! 

Since there are no features this week, I'm sharing two of Rebecca's beautiful patterns. Be sure to check out the other patterns she has available in her free pattern library. 

Sweet Ocean Breeze Baby Blanket

I absolutely love the color combo and stitch that are used in this lovely baby blanket. Also, get a load of that printable tag. It's absolutely adorable. 

Pansy Pattern

Some flower patterns leave you scratching your head as to what flower you're making. Not so with this adorable pansy pattern. If you're looking at it from a distance, you might actually think it's real. 

Now it's time to show us what you've been up to recently! We're not just talking crocheted items, we want to see your latest recipes and greatest craft projects. We'll be picking our favorites each week so be sure to check back to see if you've been features. 

If you have, we'll be sharing your project on our Facebook pages (we have over 16,000 fans) and pinning them to a special board on Pinterest. Hopefully that will mean some great exposure for your post!

Like any good link party, there are a few rules. We'll keep it short and sweet and you'll be linking up in no time. 

1. Please link to one of the hostesses - Daisy Cottage Designs or Little Monkeys Crochet. If you're feeling especially cheerful, you could even link to both. You could also grab the button above. 
2. It would make us especially happy if you would follow us on at least one social media site. You can find the links at the top of the blog. Be sure to comment so we can follow you back!
3. Visit at least one other link and leave a kind and encouraging comment. The point of these link parties is to support each other and meet blogging friends!
4. Please link to your blog post and not your homepage. Also, please avoid linking to Facebook pages, Etsy shops, or giveaways. 

We can't wait to see what you've been up to! Link up your latest and greatest and then come back next week to see if you've been featured!
