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…

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…

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…

http://www.lullabiesandlace.com/snowflakelacesquares.html

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…

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,…

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…

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…

Well, yes….. If you tune into the right online connection, you can listen to Kim Guzman and others discuss our favorite subject – no, NOT politics!!  Crochet!  Check this out:

Kim has an amazing array of new patterns coming out.  She’s…

I am a person who truly appreciates the artistry of others.  I’ve visited a good number of art galleries around the world.  I’ve studied Art History and created my own works of art in a variety of media.  I have…

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…

I guess this might be an age-related love affair as I gave no thought to the beauty of doilies when I was younger, but I am now quite enamored with them and have crocheted quite a few.  I have even…

Interweave Press has struck gold again with their latest offering of crochet publications.  Yesterday, in the mail I received ‘The Harmony Guides 101 Stitches to Crocheet’ Card Deck.  My initial impression was positive, but I was rushing to get to…

THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER.  Thanks to the many of you who entered.  I purposely did not read most comments as they trickled in.  I will be reading them carefully over the next few days and will report a winner…
