Lots of knots, the Bullion and French kind. My love of French knots is well known but I have had a kind of re awakening of my love of Bullion knots thanks to Deanna, (Deanna is ever present in Karen’s world in case you haven’t noticed) It was during one of my classes that Deanna mentioned she would love to know how to do them and would I show her…so thanks Deanna. They were long neglected here

FASCINATING ‘FASCINATOR’ – It’s Not Just For A Princess
Or, maybe it’s that this sweet, clever design will make anyone who wears it feel like a Princess. Kate and her kin do not have the market cornered on dressy head wear. Inside Crochet, Issue 18, June 2011 has a simple but elegant version they call ‘Wedding Fascinator’. It’s but one of many lovely patterns in this issue – the quality of crochet design we have come to expect from this UK publication.
WEDDING FASCINATOR INSIDE CROCHET #18
I am able to buy my copy of this magazine every month at Joann Fabric and Crafts which typically sells it for 10% off the list price of .99. I stopped in there today just to buy the mag. It’s always worth the $$ IMO. Yudu.com has an online version that is .99 per issue. That’s a real bargain.
Other enticing patterns in this issue include the DewDrop Scarf by Zoe Clements which is a Solomon’s Knot single skein beauty worked in Artyarns Beaded Mohair and Sequins, a truly stunning looking yarn, the cover Willow Camisole by Irene Strange which will definitely appeal to the twenty somethings, and Linda Permann’s Lace Skirt which is worked side to side. Also included are bibs, toys, shrugs and a bow-tie accented cap. Other articles place emphasis on color in fashion and, in the great minds think alike category, a nice article on beaded crochet – something I just blogged on.
I continue to be pleased by this magazine. I hope you are able to obtain a copy for yourself, either in print or online. I think you’ll find it to be a good value, filled with useful information and creative crochet designs.
It just isn’t Thanksgiving…
…unless there is a crochet turkey involved! Gobble gobble!

OOAK – Should be just that
and eyebrows shouldn’t be having a standoff over which one gets possession of a nose…
You know – I dont scare easily unless there’s an 8 legged hairy nosed wotname about, but seriously – this thing scares the beyeepers out of me. I’d be sleeping with the light on.
And that’s before we talk about for a supposedly OOAK cardigan for the world’s most butt-ugly doll.
The eyebrows alone are horrific.
OOAK – should mean something that really is distinguished and unique… Not Ecru #10 in a fordinary doll’s jacket.
Vlog – it’s not just for breakfast.
i’ve been wanting to do more video blogging – or ‘vlogging’ as some call it, but since the last vlog I uploaded was a YEAR and a HALF ago I suppose it hasn’t been near the top of my to-do list. So when my iPhone app launched last week (and it features my YouTube videos on it) I felt a renewed sense of excitement in getting my video on. I’m hoping to be making a bunch of “how to” videos along the way as well.
For my friends who are hearing impaired I apologize for not having figured out how to close caption my videos yet. I promise that I will continue to try to find that technology, and until then rest assured that the vlog won’t be replacing the blog. I didn’t wake up this morning thinking I would say the word “vlog” so much today. Anywho….
