Where do you buy yarn? With all the rumors flying about Wal-Mart closing its Fabric/Crafts/Yarn Departments, many people are complaining that they will have no local source of yarn and other craft supplies.

I live in…

Would you carry a sign that said ‘Strips for Yarn’? Not!!

MAM (above)
Those MAM (mile a minute) translate to Mile a Millenium for me! I just can’t get into them. I like the look and always fool myself into thinking that…

I have a new FAVORITE crochet magazine – Crochet Today! I have just purchased my third issue of this great, new mag. It’s full of wonderful patterns and great, full color photos. There is a wide variety of patterns, too.…

Wish I had a pattern for this Gymboree bag. Think I can figure it out? I’d change the colors to match a pretty little dress.

Since I finished the butterfly poncho for Peytan, I began thinking about cute little girl’s patterns…

I honestly do not know where this dimension chart originated. If it’s YOURS, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! It is not my original work, but I’ll take a chance and share it…

Here’s a little number that I worked up for the only grandchild of a dear friend. I wanted her to look like a butterfly princess on her first birthday. The poncho is a simple two rectangle version made with RH…

Here is a picture of my first ‘real’ sweater! This one is a special one for me as I made it for my…

I awoke today to a white out! That’s unusual for St. Louis. We get snow and lots of cold days, but we don’t often get a lot of snow and it doesn’t stick around too long. There have been years,…

Silk is one of the hardiest of fibers, natural or manmade! I always laugh when I see a 100% silk garment that is marked ‘dry clean only’. First, dry cleaning isn’t dry! Water is used. Second, silk saris in India…

We’re always looking for something FREE, aren’t we? Well, there are several sources for obtaining FREE YARN. While there may be no such thing as a ‘free lunch’, there might be a way for you to enhance your yarn stash…

You gotta see this cute thing. Made me laugh. ENJOY!
The pattern is available today only – FREE – at: anniesattic.com

Wow! I just ran across this great site that will help out a lot when blocking doilies.

As with so many sites, it’s worth spending some time browsing thru all the things the site owner has posted for our viewing pleasure.
