Blog Promoting

I ran across this blog entry and thought I’d share it. It has some great ideas for celebrating Earth Day any day of the year.
Celebrating Earth Day the Knitting and Crocheting Way. « What’s Cluttering My Couch
Looks to be an interesting blog all together, so don’t feel you have to stop at just that one [...]

Holy Yarn Cow, Batman!

 I’ve been searching and searching for Sirdar Yo Yo yarn, in my LYSs & on-line. I finally found a site that had it, but I couldn’t find a listing for the price or how to order, so I emailed them. I got a reply today, with a link to the yarn. For a mere $73.98, I can [...]

On-the-Go Bag

I decided to do a quick project this weekend, as my attention span was too small to do anything intricate. (My carpal tunnel was acting up, too, which didn’t help any.)
 This is the On-the-Go Bag from the Spring 2007 issue of Interweave Crochet. Instead of using the yarn specified for the pattern, I used a bulkier, [...]

I had the opportunity to go to another LYS on Friday–one that I’ve been to before and that I really like. I didn’t buy anything, though, because I get in there and I lose all of my senses. On one hand, my mind does a flashback to all of the projects I’ve ever wanted to [...]

LYS

I went to a LYS today. Well, it’s really not all that local, but it’s one I’ve been wanting to go to, and I was in the area, so we stopped by. I wasn’t impressed. I mean, there were some really awesome yarns there, but unfortunately, there was very little that had to do with [...]

My issue finally arrived in the mail yesterday. What a bummer to know that it’s been on the shelves at just about every store I’ve walked in that carry magazines for about three weeks now. A call was made to the company about the late issue, with which the reply came “we’ll send another one”. [...]

High Hopes

My 15-yo daughter actually picked up a crochet hook this evening and had me show her how to hold it and the yarn. She did a bit of a chain then one row of single crochet. Hey, that’s a start!
 She’ll do anything to get out of going to bed…lol.
 Actually, she and I both started learning [...]

Interweave Crochet

I am so stinkin’ excited. I finally found the latest copy of Interweave Crochet, at Wally-World, of all places. I try not to shop there often, but I had to make a run this morning, and even though I’ve checked their magazines over and over for this issue, they didn’t have it–until today, that is! [...]

Bed of Roses Blanket

I finally finished it. And I must say, I’m in love with it. This blanket is from the August 2006 premier issue of Crochet Today magazine. I started it sometime in February, and just finished it a couple of days ago. The one in the magazine was yellow, but I chose this rose pink color [...]

Yay for Buttons!

Not only do I love to crochet, but I love to collect buttons. I have about 4 1/2 jars of the things, as well as some in a basket and a box, and the numbers seem to keep growing.
Recently, I participated and organized a swap for buttons lovers where each person was given 5 or [...]
