the Crochet blog of V is now the Crafty blog of V
Crafts - & Art - so I always have something to blog about - even when my inner crocheter is hybernating.
The Christmas Crafting Rush
Crochet is perfect for last minute Christmas gifts. It is so speedy and requires only simple materials. Am working on a last minute afghan in a chunky yarn for dh, and various little scarves and hats for family and friends. Friends are asking me to teach them to crochet which just makes me laugh because I only know the very basics - but you can still accomplish a lot with just basics!
I have found a site full of pattern sources at http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/345.asp. Good launching place for a search.
And while searching for special yarn for one of my knitting projects I stumbled across this site: http://www.twoswansyarns.com/. Couldn't find any crocheting tools- but they have gorgeous yarn at good prices and a fun special on red and green yarns (check out the specials link). Also, they have *very* reasonable shipping rates - $25 & over in the US ships free. That's pretty awesome. Please note I just discovered this site, so cannot completely vouch for them until my order arrives.
