:: August 26, 2006 Up For Swap
Anyone in a swapping mood? I have some things I'm purging.
First off, a pair of crochet books, nay, epics, from 1985. It's a huge collection of instructions and patterns in two two-ring binders. The individual patterns are booklets that you can take out of the binder for easier reading as you crochet. The patterns are equally divided between classic, vintage-cute, kitschy, and delightfully hideous, as shown (respectively) below:
There are dozens upon dozens of patterns. Here's a list of all the sections: And the second swap lot, a sort of starter kit of the new punch needle embroidery tools from Clover. I tried it out but never got the hang of it -- maybe you'll have better luck.
And what am I looking for? A little vintage fabric, vintage buttons, or maybe even something cheap off my Crafts/Inspiration wish list on Amazon. Or surprises! Anything. Let me know in the comments if you're interested! posted by in Crochet :: Comments (5) :: link :: January 10, 2005 Small Cat Design
Wee Wonderfuls found some good motivation to pick up crochet ... here's more: Small Cat Design (via the Switchboards) :: March 3, 2004 Crochet Me
In addition to the new online knitting magazine Magknits, there's also the promising Crochet Me. There are enough excellent knitting patterns online to keep you and I busy forever and ever, but less so with the crochet, so I'm glad someone is filling this niche. Not that I know how to crochet, but the fire is there.
