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 … Read More...

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 … Read More...

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 … Read More...

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 … Read More...

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 … Read More...

Look what I got myself for Christmas!

Mine doesn’t look exactly like the one pictured here – but it’s the same company and the same 35 pockets for holding all kinds of goodies.

Mine is the Tote-ally Cool Craft Tote … Read More...

Always on the lookout for sweet baby afghans.  There’s a very lovely free pattern, the Tiramisu … Read More...

I teased some of you with a post on CP List regarding an afghan that was given to me by my friend Teresa.  First, the gift was unexpected (and unnecessary), generous, and make me joyous!!  Teresa ‘resuced’ this afghan from … Read More...

A while back when I began having problems with carpal tunnel syndrome, I decided to give tunisian crochet a try.  I’m a slow crocher, at best, and had always found tunisian to be extremely slow for me.  Somehow, something changed.  … Read More...

Ok, so I found ANOTHER addiction – Zumba!  Check out my walking blog for a brief article on Zumba if you’re not familiar with it.  (http://ewalkandtalk.blogspot.com/) I know I need some wrist sweatbands cause I get such a … Read More...

Everyone needs to have a few stashed gifts that will work for a wide variety of ages and personalities.  I try to keep a few on hand.  And, we always need something last minute, don’t we?  Try one of these … Read More...

Like sports?  I bet we all have someone in our lives who does.  Why not crochet something special for that special someone?  Caps are always appreciated in cold weather.  Pick one from this site that fits the favored sports theme:… Read More...

Many of us have adored pets – dogs, cats, birds, etc.  Many of us like to crochet for our own pets and for rescue centres such as the Humane Society.  Small afghans are great for the dogs at the animal … Read More...

Print this list out and post it on your refrigerator door.  It’s full of items that every crocheter would like to see in her (or his) gift ‘loot’.  Some will fit into stockings, others won’t.  Some are costly, others are … Read More...

This is just too cool – a Plarn Snowman.  Free pattern at the site.  A winner because it combines my love of crochet with my ‘need’ to recycle.  How cool would this be on the front porch?  Impervious to any … Read More...

I’m fortunate to have some large book stores nearby, so I have a nice selection of new crochet books available to me.  Finding used crochet books locally has proved almost impossible.  Occasionally, I’ll find one at a thrift store, but … Read More...
