THE POWER OF STASH

September 28, 2008 | 1 Comment

http://www.yarnhacker.com/ (This sure looks like my yarn stash!)
i admire people who are well organized and whose homes are not overcome with clutter.  But, I’ll never be one of those people.  Lucky for me, my husband is very tolerant of my ‘collections’ - which we crocheters refer to as our stash.
I have several crochet stashes - [...]

EDGING EASE

September 25, 2008 | 3 Comments

I like to edge a lot of flannel and fleece pieces.  These make really great quick and inexpensive baby gifts.  A yard of fleece can be purchased for just a couple of dollars on sale.  There are many baby themed fleece prints.  Also available in fleece at great prices are full panels, perfectly sized for [...]

WHAT I WOULDN’T CROCHET……

September 23, 2008 | 5 Comments

Now, I strive to remain an openminded crocheter.  I know there are many creative crocheters, people with way more talent than I have - and apparently way faster at crocheting or they have way more time to crochet than I do.
Exhibit A:

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LB CATALOG??

LB Cupcake Yarn
When I received the most recent LionBrand catalog in my mailbox, I was intrigued with the cover photo - a thick rug composed of large colorful pompons under a retro plastic molded chair.  But, I am a bit put off by the contents of the catalog.  I love LB yarns and always look [...]

A couple days ago, I had the opportunity to teach a friend to crochet.  My friend, Kathy, is about 2/3 through her goal of doing one thing new every day for a year.  At some point, I offered or she asked me to give her a crochet lesson.  Kathy’s blog is full of her interesting [...]

MORE ON ROBYN CHACHULA…

http://www.crochetbyfaye.blogspot.com/
I love to find blogs that teach and inspire. There are now so many crochet blogs that one must be a bit discriminating about which ones to visit. If we don’t discriminate, choose favorites, and gloss over less innovative and less attractive blogs, we’ll spend all our time surfing and have no time for crochet!

September 10, 2008 | 2 Comments

Many of us know the name
Robyn Chachula
as a luminary in the crochet world. What I didn’t know about her is that she’s a structural engineer. In my own long and varied career path (or simply job history), I worked for seven years in the world of forensic engineering (accident investigation). One of [...]
