I am so pleased and happy to announce that I recently opened a new Etsy shop for women! The designs I create here should all be contemporary and funky crochet items that are so desirable for today's woman! I have been so fortunate to have all three of my daughters corroborate on these designs. There are also some old accessory favorites, updated with new photos and a new look. Please come and take a look! Thank you!
Now that my new shop is up and running, I will have a lot more time after the holidays to post here on my blog. I have several new wonderful books to give away and also some new crochet implements that I think you are going to love! Stay tuned and Happy Holidays to all my loyal readers. I wish you all a very blessed New Year!!

Crochet Boutique Book Review and Giveaway
Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a review copy from
Sterling Publishing of CROCHET BOUTIQUE "30
Simple, stylish hats, bags and accessories" by Rachel Oglesby, published
by Lark Crafts.
Crochet Boutique has a little of everything. Rachel
describes the crochet items herself in the Introduction: "Stylish items to
adorn yourself. Cherished gifts to make for your loved ones and fashionable
accents for your home".
There is a full techniques section in the back of the book
that describes all you will need to know to crochet the items in this book.
Since most of the designs are accessory items, they all appear to be quick to
stitch. Except for the Bamboo Handle Bag (which is intermediate) they are ALL
rated beginner and easy and use mostly #4 worsted or #5 bulky weight yarns.
Need a quick gift for a trendy relative? This book has many crochet items that
fit the bill. I can see several items that I will be making for my daughters
this Christmas!
If you are on Ravelry, you can see all 30 projects HERE!
Would you like to own this book? Lark Crafts has graciously offered to give away a copy of Crochet Boutique to ONE lucky winner! To be eligible to win, please COMMENT below. Let us know at least one gift you will be making for the upcoming holiday season! One winner will be chosen at random on November 1, 2012. Thanks to all who participate!
What's New in My Etsy Shop
The crochet patterns for these two new baby designs are almost ready. I am just getting them proofed once again before I release them. The Baby Dinosaur and The Football Hat and Bum Cover (5th in the Series!) will be released sometime this week!
