I just love to crochet for babies, don’t you? I’m currently still crocheting (and knitting) for my granddaughter, who is already 3 months old! How can she already be 3 months old? How does that happen? It seems like yesterday that she was born!!! I’m almost done with a lacy dress for Rubekah that I’ll…
It’s so nice to meet other crochet enthusiasts! I just love it! And teaching them some fun crochet techniques is the best! It’s been almost a week since I got back from the CGOA Conference in Charleston, SC, which ran from Wednesday, July 13th through Saturday, July 16th. What a conference it was!!! For…
Are you someone who loves to learn more crochet techniques? If so, do you take classes on a regular basis? I absolutely LOVE to take classes (and to teach classes)! I’ll be teaching 5 crochet classes at the CGOA Conference next week in Charleston, SC. The classes I’ll be teaching next week are: Let’s Get…
Less than a week ago, I was in Beijing, China, for a very good reason! I’m a grandma now!!! It is with great excitement that I announce the arrival of my first grandchild, Rubekah! I left for Beijing on May 31, arriving there on June 1st. Because of the 15 hour difference between…
It’s been a while since I last blogged and for good reason (in my mind!). I’ve been doing more knitting and crocheting for my first grandchild! I feel bad that I only kept this New Year’s Resolution (to blog every week) for 4 months, but I’m having the time of my life with these cute…
As you can tell from the title of this blog post, I’m going to be a grandma! Yahoo!!! My husband and I are expecting our first grandchild, who is supposed to be a girl, at the beginning of June, which is quickly approaching! We are thrilled that we’re going to be grandparents! So in preparation…
Since my last blog post, I’ve used up 2 more single skeins of yarn by designing 2 more “Skinny Scarves”! These are really fun to design and crochet! And they take almost no time at all! I thought you might like to see my 2 newest skinny scarves, so here they are: …
Do you ever get in a “stash busting” mood? I’m in one currently and I think it’s great to get into this mood every now and then (otherwise my stash would be uncontrollable, which some might say it already is!). I’m also in a “quick to make” project mode, especially after working on some blankets/afghans…
Have you ever worked on a crochet project that you considered a “labor of love”? I’ve been working on one ever since the day after my mom’s memorial service on Feb. 20th, 2016. My mom passed away at 82 years young on Feb. 11 unexpectedly (not from a long illness). Just 23 days before…
Don’t you just love learning new crochet stitches and techniques? I do! And I love teaching others new stitches and techniques, too. I love to encourage others and help them succeed with crochet techniques that may be too confusing to learn through the internet or books. There’s nothing quite like learning something new “in person”…
