Customer Photos…

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

As always, I enjoy showing off customer photos that are submitted. I’ve been a bit neglectful lately and hope I can remember everything that was sent in! Yikes!

Jewel writes: “I am working on your poinsettia doily also. I am pleased with the way it is turning out. Thanks again for all the great patterns.

Sherrie writes: “A couple of years ago after hearing many times; ‘I wish I could crochet, but I have no one to teach me’ my husband bought me a book. I sat down each evening and practiced and the next Christmas it was afghans for everyone on my list. This year they all got doilies and table runners.”

This vintage doily has been updated to modern language, has a size 12 font, two columns, stitch counts, and a color photo. Worked in size 10 it includes finished sizes for both size 10 and the original size 20 thread called for in the instructions. It’s so pretty!

It’s hump day already?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Wow, the week seems to be going fast. Maybe it’s all the new shows starting this week. Not only is my DVR getting filled, but I had to watch some of the other shows on a different TV - live! Is that great or what? I know, I need a life!

On the other hand, nothing is nicer than being able to watch some great shows while CROCHETING! I’m getting ready to start on another design which will be for Christmas but it can easily be used throughout the year - if I get it designed that is. Yesterday met with failure, but hey, I know several ways NOT to make it now! It’s still morning and I have the rest of the day to devote to experimenting in the lab (family room) with my favorite size thread and all time favorite hook. Keep your fingers crossed today meets with success and an even better attitude.

I may be starting another crochet-a-long soon if I have enough time - that always seems to be a problem. Either a crochet-a-long or mystery - what does everyone prefer? I’ve had some complaints before with mystery patterns because a few turned out to be a project the person wasn’t interested in. But hey, isn’t that what mystery means - either you like it or don’t - maybe you can use it or won’t. Personally, I think it’s easy to find some use with whatever you make. Give it away if all else fails. :-)
