I am Human and I Crochet

This morning while perusing my FB feed I came across a video from the Craft Yarn Council called "Humans That Yarn".  Not sure about the title but that's beside the point.  I watched it and remembered why I like to blog.  Part of it is throwing my voice out into the internet in a positive way.  The more exciting realization is that blogging forces me to explore crochet and the fiber arts. 



On different social media, I subscribe to several yarn companies, the Craft Yarn Council, and the Crochet Guild of America but only give them a cursery glance most of the time.  Today the Craft Yarn Council had this great video to start their new campaign for "I Love Yarn Day" on October 13, 2018.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  I'm heading over to their website to read more about each person in the video.

4 Years Is A Long Time

This post is for me.  I'm sure I've lost anyone whoever actually came by once upon a time.  But that's ok.  I've been crocheting and crocheting none-the-less.  I used to think I would love to make a living as a blogger about my craft but it still comes second to a "real" full time job and I'm not a good writer.  I like to think I'm like Mark Twain, using a more casual writing style but that diminishes Mark Twain's writing and creativity.  ha ha   I'm me and today I will start to blog about my latest crochet projects.


This is a new shawl I've started.  I'm using yarn that I've had in my stash for years.  Yes, years.  It's just been sitting there waiting patiently for the perfect idea to strike.  Then, the other day while searching for patterns I saw something that made me stop and just know that I had the perfect yarn for this project.  It's taking a little more concentration than normal but I can't wait to see how it turns out.  I'll keep you updated.
