100th Post

This is officially my 100th post. Woo-hoo! I figured I should do something to celebrate with y’all. I really appreciate all of your comments. Although I don’t respond to each one, I do read them and they really make my day– I hope you know that.

As a present to you, dear readers, I’m giving away one Crocheted Hat gift certificate and one Button Necklace gift certificate to my etsy shop. The winner can pick anything  they like  from the current stock–there’s still a bunch of cute stuff in there. Just leave a comment on this post by Friday at Midnight mountain time (that’s 2 am NY time) and I’ll randomly generate the winners! Yay! If you like, you can say which thing you’d prefer, in case it randomly works out that you can have your cake (hat) and eat it too.

Also- I finally joined Ravelry. I’m still finding my way around and haven’t uploaded many projects, but I’m over there as Lindamade, so feel free to add me.

And, for photo goodness, here’s my finished wonky recycled bathmat. I love it! (Full photo here for scale.)

  • Hey Linda!! Hope you're doing well out west-- so glad to be following along with you here! :) So I have a question for you... I just tried to crochet a rag rug last night with strips I cut from leftover fabric, but I found that the fabric was shedding and shredding way too much to make a stable rug. In fact, as I was crocheting some of the strips would shred apart as I worked, which was a bad sign. Do you have thoughts on this? Was I just using the wrong type of fabric, or what?
  • I'm a Linda too! Hello, I'm new here and am so glad I found you. Your blog is great, your stuff is amazing and congrats on 100 posts!
