Ready, Set, STITCHES 2012

It's Stitches Time! Almost like Christmas for me. Yep, a day with friends, surrounded by beautiful fibers, new patterns and people who love doing what I do, not to mention...a lot of shopping.

Can't wait, I'll be there Friday because goodness knows I need more yarn (not, but that's not the point)

What's New in August

Have to be honest...there is nothing new on my knitting needles this week, but there have been a few things on my crochet hooks. I've been at Elgin Knit Works, doing two of my favorite things, talking about knitting and crochet and talking about knitting and crochet with some of my favorite people.

Speaking of favorite people, Joyce Garris designer of After This Row will be at Elgin Knit Works tomorrow. She'll be showing everyone how to get the most from their project sheet and charts.

Thank You, OMG! Heart

Thank you Alice for the nice mention on
 OMG! Heart today. Love your blog.

Going to Print

I'm thrilled to announce of the patterns are going into a printed leaflet soon. I'm sad to announce they will no longer be available here or through my other shops. I'm not exactly sure of the date, they need to be removed, but I'm guessing it will be the end of July early August.

The printed and downloadable leaflet will be available soon though so you will be able to get the patterns again, they just won't be available directly from me. I'll be sure to keep you updated and give you exact dates when I know more.

Had so much fun with my brown owl, thought I'd make another in grey. This fellow doesn't have the eyelashes, just the attitude.

Happy crocheting,

Owl Time

Lots of you have asked and I debated. There are so many cute ones available to chose from, but since I love them too, I just couldn't resist working on one for myself and you.

His pictures don't do him justice, he honestly looked like a curled leaf.
