Just a quickie drop-in to share some photos and projects with you. It’s funny, I usually dive deep to find things to post about, but this week I have tons to post about and not a lot of time.

First, I wanted to share this FREE pattern of mine: the Pill(ow) Popper, courtesy of Caron. The [...]

I’ve got to forewarn you that this month is going to be a parade of projects. Book projects, mag projects, lots of projects that I worked on quite some time ago are finally published. And my slightly-lazy-when-it-comes-to-blogging self has been remiss in posting. Mostly because I actually took a few days off like the rest [...]

Despite having lots of projects I should be working on–you know, the kind with deadlines?–I was recently inspired to start a sweater for my nephew. If you read the dedication in Little Crochet, you’ll see that the book is dedicated him, he is just an amazingly sweet little guy. I’m going to take next week [...]

Today I want to tell you a little bit about my friend Susan Beal’s other new book, World of Geekcraft (book website here). The book is a nice little collection of all kinds of pop-culture/geek inspired projects, from beading and embroidery to knitting, quilting and cake decorating.

When Susan asked me to contribute to the book, [...]

Note: Since I’m away teaching at the DFW Fiber Fest this week, these posts may show up earlier than the posts they reference–check back, I’ll add direct links as soon as I can.
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 [...]

Today’s leg of the Little Crochet Blog book tour is a stop over at Craft zine, where you’ll find an excerpt (ie. free pattern!) from the book!

Craft is sharing the Cozy Crawlers Leg Warmers, which are made with a solid and variegated sock yarn (but of course, you can make them any way you’d like!). [...]

Hip, Hip Hooray! We’re now just a day away from the release of my second book, Little Crochet: Modern Designs for Babies and Toddlers. I don’t think I could be more excited about finally getting to share it with you.

To start off, I just want to mention that I am having a Little Crochet Book [...]

Occasionally I get asked about how I sketch or what I submit to my publisher when I am working on a book, so I wanted to share a little bit of that with you today. The truth is, looking back, sometimes I’m amazed that my publisher (Potter Craft) [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed, I am *really* excited about my next book, Little Crochet: Modern Designs for Babies and Toddlers,due on shelves April 5th. My publisher suggested that I make a book trailer, and although my gut reaction was “I don’t know how to do that!” I decided to give it a try anyway. [...]

I was googling Crochet Adorned this week (yes, I do that!)  and I came across some fun projects inspired by the book, so I just had to share! There are so many ways you can use it even if you don’t want to make the exacct projects within–the stitch dictionary and how-to info makes for [...]
