Back in July, 2008, I wrote a less than glowing review of this book. Since then, I’ve acquired another copy – shiny and new. So, I’m gonna give it away.
The book is quite attractive. You can read my review and learn more about the book. It would make a nice gift for a beginning crocheter on your gift list. Nice photos and schematics of basic crochet.
Here’s a link to my original post on this book, containing all the books particulars:
http://crochet.craftgossip.com/lacy-crochet-a-book-review/2008/07/16/
So, if you would like to receive my extra copy of this book, you need to enter this contest.
This time, I’m asking that you post a link to your favorite crochet blog in our Comments Section. I’ll go through all those links and determine two things:
Which is a blog I haven’t seen before AND/OR
Which is the best crochet blog.
So, get surfing and post your blog entry here. ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PLEASE. Contest is open from today (12/8/0/) til Monday 12/15/08. Winner will be announced 12/16/08 and book should be mailed in time for you to gift it or enjoy as a gift for yourself!!
This is only one of my favs, but I thought it was cute. I like the name! LOL! Of course you might also consider mine LOL http://crochetstitches.blogspot.com
Okay… I did this wrong. UGH! I put one of my favs as my own and it showed up as a link on my name… Sooooo, this one changes that. My submission for one of my favs is: http://madcrochetingfool1.blogspot.com/
Sorry bout that LOL
I’m not sure if this blog has been featured before, but it certainly is a little different than some may be used to. It’s a lot of fun – check it out:

This site is where I go to get all the ideas I used to help the people in Iowa after the floods feel like they were home again.

This is not a crochet-only website, but does have some lovely crochet projects:

This one doesn’t have a lot of crochet patterns, but it has a few really nice ones, good recipes, and gorgeous pictures of England.
As a beginning crocheter, I think “Learn to Crochet” – http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/ is one of the best sites on the web. Of course, http://crochet.craftgossip.com is a great site too! 🙂
I just love this crochet site. Cheryl is easy to deal with and always ready to help with her patterns. She has patterns for dolls, and babies. Her patterns are easy to follow and she is prompt in emailing them to you. I know when I need a nice pattern for a baby shower or to outfit my reborn doll that Cheryl’s is the place to go.

Sorry, I did it wrong too! The blog I like is:
http://littlesliceoflife.wordpress.com/category/crochet/.
I used to love reading this blog and it’s usually the first one I read. It inspired me to go back to crocheting; however, she hasn’t blogged since August 2008:

My next favorite is this blog because she blogs everyday and her color choices are awesome:

I like this blog. It is very good. http://crochetbyfaye.blogspot.com
I think my most favorite blogsite would be Thata Pang… she is such an inspiration.. her site is Dynamic Crochet…Hope I did this right…if not.. oh well.. no biggie
I’m not much of a blogger type person. I don’t have a blog or look at many blogs. The reason that I’m saying this blog is because this contest has allowed me to find some really good blogs. Most of the blogs that I’ve come across that say crochet or knit have just a little about crochet or knit & then a lot about family, vacations, & whatever else. I’m mostly a self taught crocheter & knitter.
I like visiting Andrea’s blog. I don’t understand the language but her work is fun & her tutorial is really good.
