Annie’s Attic is having their Spring Clearance Sale, and I’m debating ordering a couple of the books listed, which brings me to the question: Can a person ever have too many crochet books? I’m starting to think so. I’m surrounded by patterns–patterns in books, patterns printed from the net, patterns in magazines, patterns in brochures. [...]

Weekend in St. Louis
Posted in afghans, animals, blankets, butterflies, crochet, daughter, gifts, life, projects, travelling, vacations on May 30, 2007 | 1 Comment »
We spent our Memorial Day weekend in St. Louis visiting family. I didn’t get any crochet in, which is fine by me, considering I sat up until 1:30 a.m. the night before we left to get this afghan finished so I could give it as a gift to one of my husband’s daughters who recently [...]
I recently borrowed 100 Purses to Knit & Crochet from the library, thinking it would have just a few crochet patterns and a multitude for knitting. Instead, it was just the opposite, with 75 of the patterns being crochet. (Makes me wonder why they didn’t call it 100 Purses to Crochet & Knit instead. Doesn’t it [...]
New Books

Annie’s Attic recently had a book sale. Being a sucker for crochet books at a good price, I took advantage of the sale and bought the three titles shown above.

I’m such a dork-wad. I had a package to mail out today for a swap, and not having a box or envelope appropriate to mail it in, I went to Walgreen’s on my way to the post office. I used my arm as a measurement of the items (which were all bunched together in bubble [...]

Below is a list of tips I’ve found helpful when crocheting with wire:
Relax. If you can crochet with yarn and thread, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to crochet with wire. If you’ve never crocheted with thread, practice with that first to get used to handling something way thinner than yarn. Size 10 is [...]
Marbles for Mother’s Day
Posted in beads, crochet, jewelry, wire crochet on May 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I created this wire crochet bracelet for my mom for Mother’s Day. The name “Marbles” comes from the beads, which, to me, look a lot like marbles. I plan to write out a pattern for this, since it’s fairly quick and simple. It will be posted in the near future.
Swappin’ Fun

A couple of posts back (here), I mentioned the items I made for a crochet swap I’m taking part in on one of the forums I go to. Yesterday, I received my items from my partner, and I have to say they’re pretty awesome.
My package included a neat little crocheted bag, just the right size [...]
