MAGGIE’S CROCHET

October 30, 2008 | 1 Comment

One of the most attractive crochet vendor websites online is maggiescrochet.com.  There is always something enticing there.  I find the photography and the projects pictured to be yummier than any other site.
I already own this book - and can attest to the fact that the stockings are easy to make, albeit all in single crochet [...]

CROCHET TECHNIQUES by Renate Kirkpatrick

October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Crochet Techniques by Renate Kirkpatrick has a great cover - colorful and appealing.  The attraction doesn’t end there - but was not exactly what I expected from the title.  There are several sampler projects in the book, each with well defined stitches accompanied by clear explanations and schematics.  The first project is all in white [...]

ULTIMATE SOURCEBOOK ??

October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I’m not quite sure this is the ‘ultimate’ book of knitting and crochet stitches but it’s a useful one, albeit half of it is devoted to knitting making it virtually worthless to me.  If you both knit and crochet, this may well be an excellent resource for you.
I have come to appreciate most of the [...]

PLANNING AHEAD - SOME GIFT IDEAS - SEASONAL and OTHERWISE

October 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Wouldn’t these Snowflake Squares make a snuggly Christmas gift?  I actually like it that they are not pictured in Christmas colors.  I think that having other colors presented opens our minds to other possibilities.  Like, why not make this in blue, black, or yellow for a special gift for a winter birthday?  Most people who [...]

PUT THIS ONE ON YOUR WISH LIST….first in a series of “gimme’s”

October 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment

We all need to be thinking about goodies to put on our Wish List.  You know - that list you put on the refrigerator door so everyone who is supposed to give you a gift will know what you want, NEED, gotta have!  This is not a list of items that includes vacuum cleaner bags, [...]

A HECK OF A YARN

October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I saw this book (new to me) at the library and decided to check it out even ‘tho it is entitled, “The Knitter’s Book of Yarn”.  I don’t usually bother to peruse books about knitting.  But, since crocheters use the same yarn as knitters, I decided this book might contain something I could use.
Well - [...]

WHO WON THE CHAHULA??

October 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment

It was both fun and challenging to read the 30+ entries in this contest.  I purposely held off reading any of them til I had ALL of them available.  I didn’t want to get ’stuck’ on one person’s idea and unintentionally not give my full attention to other messages.
I must say I enjoyed reading all [...]

http://ive-never.blogspot.com/2008/09/week-11-mother-bear-project.html
This is one of the cutest crocheted bears I’ve seen.  And, I love the charity that it represents.  I first read about the charity on the blog linked above.  However, the picture below is from the original site and the link under it will take you there.  Great way to use up some scraps and [...]
