Check Out Ravelry

Ravelry is a network of Crocheter, knitters and all "fiber" crafts. It takes a bit of time to get invited to set up an account. but once you do you have a wealth of information at your fingertips. As well as a ton of groups both local and international. I have already been able to find patterns for some projects!

I quickly found a pattern for a chemo cap using Baby Clouds yarn (one of my many stash!) for a friend is WAY too young to be battling cancer.

I am on a committee at work to work on our Workplace Giving auction (I have already submitted 2 afghans, hat/scarf set as well as a crochet Gecko bookmark/snake/crayon kids item. During our meeting this week, they were talking about creating items for pets so I quickly found some patterns for "cuddle mats" and of course toys!

Crochet and Knit Show in Portland

Last weekend I went to 1 and 1/2 days of the Knit and Crochet Show -- Should be named Crochet and Knit show, in my opinion. I attended one class. It was a great time. I bought too much yarn -- if that is possible.

I also took a knitting class -- a free drop in class sponsored by Coats and Clark. Knitting would be fine if there just were hooks at the end of those pesky needles!

Check out some of the photos I took while there.
