Someone just directed me toward a site that sells fantastic buttons all handmade by women in Africa.  Such a small thing, a button.  But, such a huge way to support an artisan anywhere in the world with the purchase of…

We all make mistakes in our crochet from time to time.

No, NOT THIS KIND OF MISTAKE:

Rather, we fail to count correctly, get our gauge wrong, lose our way in a pattern – that sort of thing.  Here are a few…

Look what I found!  If you want to make a FIVE POINT AFGHAN, there’s a detailed tutorial with lots of pix at this site:

I’m a fan of this and similar afghans that fall into the category of ’round ripples’.  The…

You have to join this site (and pay) to use the search function, but so far, the thread on needlearts – many of the posts are crochet – is free.  Some interesting stuff here, like this beauty.  Just scroll down…

I’m always on the look out for new and enticing crochet blogs.  There is so much creativity out there that it’s hard to keep up with it all.  Here are a few of the newer blogs I’ve run across.

Cold weather is on its way. My mother in law is visiting from tropical India. She gets sooooooo cold in our temperate climate. Last time she was here, I crocheted her a pair of these classical legwarmers.

Now, she wants some…

Published in 2007, this book is a delicious collection of crochet edgings and some motifs (especially flowers), complete with color pictures and written instructions.  What’s missing?  Schematics.  Susan Smith has assembled a pretty collection of trims that is well displayed…

There are several books in print which cover many of the techniques demonstrated in this book, published in 2006.  It’s a handy size hardback with my favorite spiral binding.  Why aren’t all books made like this?
