Do you like the idea of recycling or repurposing your crochet?  This is a great idea, using a purchased sweater to create an exceptional piece.  Learn how here:

And, what…

A recent discussion on another site got me to thinking how crochet tools have changed over time.  Hooks, themselves, have changed very little.  You either have a ‘traditional’ hook or an in-line hook with handle variations.  But, other crochet tools…

My friend Ronnie has crocheted several hook holders.  So has DJ.  So has, I think, everyone else in the St. Louis Crochet Club.  I keep my hooks in a variety of holders – the one I carry around is a…

What crocheters will create is often simply remarkable.  I was looking online for some examples of structural crochet.  I’ve blogged about this before – the 3D stuff.  Some of it is beautiful.  Some items are cool.  Many are useful.  Most…

This time, I’ve got a batch of booklets for you.  I’ve been clearing out magazines and leaflets from my stash.  I have found duplicates aplenty!  So, I’m willing to part with them.

This first batch includes 7 digest sized booklets (like…

Howie Woo loves to crochet life’s little oddities and these crochet grenades are hilariously quirky as his is video and “In the field” photo shots.

Have you seen this?  How cool is it that this young guy crochets these outrageous overalls – his very own design – and wears them fearlessly?  Neither of my sons would or could carry this off!  Check out the rest…

Once you’ve checked out the book I reviewed, Tunisian Crochet by Sharon H. Silverman, you might want to find some more information about tunisian crochet on the ‘net.  Lucky you!  I’ve done the research for you.  There’s a lot of…

Tunisian crochet is not my favorite.  It seems overly repetitive to me – just plain boring.  Kinda like I feel about working anything in all single crochets.  However, there are times when the particular characteristics of tunisian are a real…

With over 100 entries in this little contest, I’m happy to announce that the winner is:

KAREN GALLUZZO !!

Karen, please email me privately (jdwln@sbcglobal.net) to send me your snail mail address.

Again, I apologize for the delay in announcing the winner.  It…

Friends, I’ve been waylaid with some version of the flu bug – not that swine stuff, tho’.  Sorry for the delay in getting the contest winners announced.  So many people entered that it’ll take me an hour or more just…

Summer is a good time to crochet things that don’t cover our laps or use thick, heavy yarns. It may also be a good time for us to try something new.  Especially if you’ve never crocheted with thread, now is…

I saw the crochet hooks this gal made on her website and became immediately enchanted.  You will too!  Lady Willow and I have been emailing and she graciously offered her tutorials for my blog.  So, take advantage…
