Come visit my blog for updates on my craft exploits. Crochet is my favorite, but you might spot the occasional sidetrack into knitting, embroidery or even paper models.

Here in the beautiful San Juan Islands I’m either diligently working on a crochet pattern or alternately practicing in vain to win the expert level of Guitar Hero II; currently stuck on Free Bird. In other news my 10 cent goldfish Titus is living one year strong and costing me a few more cents than I originally predicted.





Laura ,
I love the way this star patterns works up… I’m doing it in worsted weight only because that is what I had handy and I love it…

I REALLY want to purchase a star shaped rainbow afghan….I’m an artist but I’m amazing at drawing, sculpting ,and photography….I don’t have the patience to crochet though, tried many times. Would you EVER consider selling the rainbow star flanker, I know assume they take forever to complete one start to finish and are tedious n meticulously done so please and a price, I know they’re expensive especially at that size…..My FB name is Jamie Gill, the profile with teal hair or email me at [email protected]. PLEASE. Thank U so much…..Peace & Love Jamie Lynn
On the afghan with black in between color, is that just a sc row?
