This is a really pretty idea for a headband. The organza ribbon adds a nice feminine touch.
Vintage New Yellow Headband
Now to figure out my own version of it.
There’s actually some really pretty items on that site. If I couldn’t crochet myself, I’d probably consider buying a couple (and might still anyway).
And this bikini on a [...]

If the image at the left looks like a large blob of grocery bags, you’re halfway correct. It’s plastic bags cut into strips to make a “material” suitable for crocheting.
This weekend I went to another craft day at Lissa’s house with two other craft-a-teers. Learning to make plastic bags into a big ball of [...]

It’s been said in a couple of places on the net that some people think crocheters are cheap (I don’t have the quotes offhand to elaborate), which is one reason why crochet gets such a bad rep.
In making a list of some yarns I’m going to order this weekend, I’ve noticed that the most expensive [...]

Just ran across this little piece of information:
1 out of 3 women knows how to knit or crochet. The number of women who do these crafts increased from 34.7 million in 1994 to 38 million in 2000.
I have no idea where the statistic comes from or how valid is, so don’t quote me on it.

I’m such a book whore. I just took it upon myself to purchase a copy of Crocheted Socks: 16 Fun-To-Stitch Patterns from Amazon for just $6.95. Publisher’s price is $18.95, and I can never pass up a bargain on a crochet book or novel I like. I’ve borrowed this book half-a-dozen times from the library, [...]

Our library has a nice lil’ “booktique” in it, full of books that people have donated or books they no longer need on the library shelves. I like to go in and scroll through the shelves, looking for a bargain. I rarely find anything crochet-related, but I did run across this little jewel: Do [...]

Since I finally got some photos taken of my WIPs, I thought it was time to make a post to my blog. That darn Ravelry is getting all of my attention these days, it seems. (Yes, without it, these photos wouldn’t even be available yet, since I was able to add these to my project folder there.) Even my WIPs are [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I got my invitation to join the group of crocheters and knitters at Ravelry, and the site has been taking up my time ever since. It hasn’t been opened to the public just yet, as they’re still working on some bugs and making sure it can handle alot of traffic, [...]

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 [...]
