I’m always on the lookout for what’s new in the online world of crochet. A couple sites have really made some improvements/updates that are worth checking out.

First, on Craftbits.com itself, we now have free videos of crafts, including a couple…

I ran across this retro beauty recently and decided to look around for other headbands. Wish I could wear the darn things, but I can’t. I have two good friends who wear headbands every day. One of them, Lori, would…

For many of us who surf the web in search of crochet blogs and patterns, we find that many of the most wonderful sites are in languages other than our own (English for me).  Even if we know someone who…

Fourth week of January, 2010.  Want to win a copy of this book?

If so, please post an answer to this question, following the contest rules posted below:

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CROCHET TEACHER?  (YES, IT CAN BE YOU, YOURSELF!) Kindly post…

I love to crochet pretty things, but sometimes we need to make practical things, don’t we?  Recently, I’ve run across a few ingenious little goodies.  Here they are.  Let me know if  you have a variation or improvement we should…

At the last meeting of the St.Louis Crochet Club, we had our usual Show ‘n Tell – my favorite part of the evening.  Rita, one of our members who both crochets and knits, admitted to not having much to show…

A recent article about a dispute between a crocheting college football player’s right to sell or give away his team-colored caps and scarves created quite a stir.  Since I have an inside line to an attorney, I asked his opinion. …

Belts are back!  Have you seen the latest fashions?  Many are belted or have belts added to a layered look as an accessory.  They must be fashionable because my daughter has finally asked for something crocheted – a belt!  This…

Week Three’s question for the month of January, 2010 is this:

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BLOG (other than this one, of course)?  YOU MUST POST A LINK TO IT WITH YOUR ENTRY.

The prize this month is this book:

RULES AND DISCLAIMERS:

This is…

http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20070403/crochet-trimmed-watches/

Isn’t this a nifty idea?  It looks like these watchbands are fabric – sewed to the watch after the embellishment was affixed.  I think it would be easy enough to take an inexpensive store bought watchband and add one’s own…

I’ve crocheted one cap and loomed one cap for my husband.  Both still leave his ears cold.  It’s been below 10 degrees F most days this year (2010).  So, I’ve been scouting around for another pattern for him.  I finally…

Refer to the contest rules below.  Winner of the monthly contest will be announced on the first Monday of next month.

This week’s question is:

WHAT WAS YOUR GREATEST CROCHET ACCOMPLISHMENT OF 2009?
Remember, the prize this month is a copy of this…

I’m always looking for cute crocheted flower patterns.  These pictures come from a blog that has some beautiful flowers.  I even like the ones that are not crocheted – other art forms.  Check it out!

There’s a detailed tutorial for the…

What do you think of this project light?  One nice feature of it is the magnification.  You can purchase one without the magnifiers – but you WILL ultimately need some help with your sight.  I promise!  Depending on the work…
