I'm working on a very special dress for one of my friends, it involves custom tarot cards, a skirt, and lots of crocheting.  So far I have the panels made and today will start on crocheting "godets" I believe they are called or the flares in between the panels to make it look like a very full skirt.  This is a fun project and yes I will post pictures when it's done.

Well howdy folks- get out your hooks and set a spell, take your shoes off, how 'bout a little sweet tea?

Not that kind of drawl! I mean I haven't had any hookin' time lately and I am feeling it! My sweetie has his own farm this year and I have been helping him every day after my landscaping job. By the time I get home it is after dark and usually I am so tired I can barely lift a hook, let alone be inspired to make something. The one project I have been picking up every once in a…

This is a copy of my most recent blog post on The Yarn Yogi Blog:

I am pleasantly surprised at my success at selling my crochet patterns on the internet. I listed my first pattern, Crochet X-Stitch Shrug on…

This is for a size 4/5, chest 24 inches.

Sc for top, cross st for skirt bottom.  Will have three buttons in back.  The flower is just pinned on for now.  Here are some pictures. …

Last August I asked CLF members to describe crochet in ONE word. This is the poem I created from the words gathered.

I want to do this every few months, so let's start here now. 

In ONE word describe crochet. Leave it in the comments…

Hi, I am new to Hookey.  I joined yesterday.  I wanted to write something, anything; but I was very sad and down from my visit with my mom.  Yesterday was her birthday.  She was 85.  My mom didn't know who I was.  She has Alzheimer's. My mom taught me how to crochet.  She was my inspiration.  She guided me on and encouraged me to continue.  I inherited her love of crochet. I have all her crochet books and patterns which I cherish.  I wish she didn't have Alzheimers so I could share crochet…

I apologize that my only blog post so far on Hookey is bad news! We just found out my husband has Lou Gherig's Disease (ALS). He is 48. I am in shock as the realization of what is in store for us dawns on me. I believe crochet and the crochet community will be a tremendous help to me as I go on this strange and awesome journey with my husband.

I am just so thrilled at the positive response from my nautical inspired summer tote bag! Between my own journal, Hookey and other craft sites it seems to be getting a lot of attention. I can't wait for people to try the pattern and post some of their finished work!

I've posted the pattern for free on my blog:

Admittedly, the "shape" isn't…

On Monday June 4, 2012 I sent out an email broadcast to your in boxes. We've really grown since our official launch on Feb 24, 2012. If you haven't had a chance to read that email I urge you to do so, you might want to check your spam folder and allow this email address. I don't send out a lot of messages, just a few here and there to remind you of important events, opportunities and the occasional housekeeping reminder.

If you didn't get the email, in short I thanked you all…

I was thinking and musing about socks at my regular blog here. Everyone should make socks. Just saying. Anyway, it's time to talk about me, hahaha.

You know, I really like feet. Not in a creepy way, there are no feet in jars in my basement or anything like that. It's just that after all these years and probably thousands of pedicures that I've given, I have come to appreciate feet. They do a really rotten job and we…

Almost done putting things away, my son is coming tomorrow to help me arrange all the yarn cubbies because some sit on top of each other and I need the help putting them up there :) Yes I have been taking pictures and can't wait to share them.  Tomorrow the phone guy is coming so I should have internet at my shop....YAYAYAYYA

Well one of them at least.  And it also ties into a small business I do.

I have rabbits..not just one or 2 pet rabbits, but LOTS of rabbits.  Bred a bunch today and have a bunch of does that are due in the next few days.

Nothing more exciting that to uncover a litter of baby rabbits and see how many, what color and just to see new life!  Must be spring or something...

Off to work on the log cabin afghan I started.  I must be nuts..

I am STILL moving, had no idea exactly how much stuff I actually have in there and the books, OMG the books/magazines and I assure you I am completely covered if there is EVER a book shortage

So while recovering my little hooker fingers went to work. lol

3 hats, 1 bag are completed. I also have a top and 2 more bags that are 75% done.

I've been working as fast as I can as I would really like to have a decent inventory to be able to participate with the local Pop-up fairs and markets.

On another note...

I can't wait to get better so I can get back to my workouts. Sitting around and hooking for hours really does nothing for my figure... lol

I am new here and am just looking around.....wonderful  to find so many crochet crafters.....I first learned way back when I was a newlywed, some 38 years ago......I taught myself and went crazy for crochet for some time....I've got away from it but with a new grandson...am thinking of getting back to crocheting for gifts.....so will be looking at all the photos for inspiration.....I'd like to crochet a pretty shawl for my DIL for Christmas.......

Hi everyone out there,

it would be so great to meet other crochet-addicts like me...

I sometimes wonder if there are other people like me that just have to crochet every day just to feel good ;)) my day is not complete without a crochet hook in my hand... sometimes difficult to combine with work and kids and...

But somehow I stille manage and I even have a blog where I post sometimes, welcome to everyone who's interested!…
