This goes to show how a very simple double crochet blanket can just be beautiful! Spirelle (user name on Flickr and Ravelry) put three yarns together to make this stunning blanket!

It doesn’t have to be complex to be gorgeous!

Beautiful Spirelle!

SPECIAL AWARD WINNERS

Ok, Jess and Casey get the Set My Picot Free Award for founding, operating, and devoting way too many hours of their lives to Ravelry.com.

Here is the happy couple, who are tooooo cute for words. And even though Jess plays with pointy sticks we still love her. Casey, or so the rumor mill has it, has a fondness for hookers so we give him a thumbs up.

Thanks guys, you’ve given us a really cool place to play…and um…ORGANIZE!!! We wouldn’t have the CLF if we didn’t have Ravelry!

YOU HAVE EARNED!

THE SET MY PICOT FREE!!!!
Award
(Bob too, cause we know he crochets when you aren’t looking.)

Living with dial up is hard

Some days there may be odd things on this blog…just know I live on Dial UP.

So even if it’s an oversight on my part…we’ll just blame it on dial up.

Someday Verizon will bring DSL ONE MORE MILE DOWN THE ROAD to my house…and I’ll have to find something else to blame for strange, odd, or bizarre happenings on the blog. At the moment, however, we’ll just say…dial up did it.

TWO Crochet Friendly LYS in Washington State

TWO great yarn stores I was able to spend money, get what I wanted, needed and can use…Sunday it was Diva Yarn and Trim in Port Townsend, WA. They could shout out about Crochet a little more. BUT, they have great resources, good tools, and good products! They were also quite friendly, and had no problem helping me with questions and service!

And Today it was A Dropped Stitch in Sequim, WA! OOOOOH I can’t wait till their website is up! I will definately be ordering from them in the future since they carry the VERY things I’ve been looking for, for a while ;) They were the more crochet friendly of the two stores, having the crochet items merchandised more equally to the other fiber art supplies.

WOW Both great stores!

Which stores do you find most CROCHET FRIENDLY leave a link in the comments section for others to find!
