I’ve known Diane Gilleland, aka Sister Diane of CraftyPod, for so long that I can’t quite remember how we ever found each other [...]

I first met Carrie Lundell of This Mama Makes Stuff through the magic of twitter. She posted a few gorgeous projects she’d made from Crochet Adorned, and used the book exactly as I’d hoped–as an inspiration to create her own projects. So I kept watching to see what else she had up her sleeve.

Today is the official release date for Little Crochet + kicking off the tour is one of my knitting idols, Susan B. Anderson.

I’m not sure how it was that I first came across her blog, but I think I found it after stumbling on her cute knitting/baby books. Susan has written three of them–Itty-Bitty Hats, [...]

As a present to you, dear readers, I’m giving away one [...]

 
I lied, I’m back already, to give you some exciting news that’s been in the works for weeks. I’m now also posting on the ReproDepot blog to give you lots of fun fabric-related inspiration.

I added several hats to my etsy shop today- some older ones are on sale, and then there are a whole bunch of new ones that I’ve been spending my time on. I’m especially fond of the birthday cake hats (above right)–they’re so fun to make because of all the bobbles and colors.
