Here’s another book I ran across at the library. You’ve probably seen it too. It’s aimed at ‘tweens’ beginning crocheters. It’s a brightly illustrated book with lots of appealing photos.

Isn’t this a lovely way to embellish a rock? I love river rocks and crochet. Seems obvious to connect the two. I’ve blogged about embellished rocks before. Gotta add this one to my ‘collection’ of sites.

Pinka’s got a contest on her blog to win a crocheted bracelet like the one shown above. While I certainly wouldn’t mind winning one of her bracelets, I’m more interested in the technique. I’ve just gotten a book about crocheting…

Have you seen this book? I can’t believe I’ve overlooked it for years thinking it was the similarly titled “Blue Ribbon Afghans”. This book contains afghans – but also fashions, baby stuff, dolls and toys, home dec, and ‘heirloom masterpieces’…

This makes me REALLY wish I had a long neck. I love the artist’s use of color and texture. I also love the concept of mixed media. This looks like crochet, felting, and beading. Give me an extra day in…
