This is a message from the Fearless Leader!
The CLF First Ever Book, is accepting submissions from CLF members. Whether you are a new member or old hook please consider submitting either patterns or stories, hints/tips, ideas, and other crochet related information and crochetainment.
How do you know if you are a member? Well, you will have joined us on Ravelry.com. If you haven’t signed up yet, then do so! Once you get your invitation then join the Crochet Liberation Front Headquarters group!
I’ve heard rumors, and I dont’ know that I believe them too much, that Ravelry isn’t very crochet friendly and so people aren’t joining. Oh, come on guys! Jess and Casey are very crochet friendly, and you can’t change things by not being active!
They have heard our cries, whining and even bowed into some polite demands 
If you do not represent the hook, who will? Remember, “If you’re not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.”
Join us! And if you have joined us, then submit ideas hints, tips, it doesn’t have to be patterns. Many crocheters don’t use patterns and we KNOW that! But creative ideas are always helpful! Check out the locked and stickied thread on the CLF Forum, follow the links to get all the information you need to submit patterns, recipes, and articles/hints/tips.
Vive Le Hook!

Ok guys, you know I’m into freeform, and here is a grand example! CLF member Stringamagig made this gorgeous free form afghan square! Hookilicious is what I call it! A totally hookilcious square!
Stringamagig you have been awarded the Hookilicious award for outstanding crocheted excellence!
Check out her other fine and wonderful projects on ravelry!
Ok, I did it. I started the CLF Podcast. It’s short, it’s rambling, and you will indeed hear the clarion call of sheep.
The podcast will be a monthly affair and due to having a genius of a daughter, she suggested that you write in questions or requests and I answer them in the podcast (kind of like call ins on a radio show)…keep it crochet related! LOL….
I will try to get interviews with folks like you, and hopefully provide you with some hooking humor!
I hope you enjoy the podcast!
Absolutely Hookilicious!

This Bag Sets OUR Picot Free!

lprajogo you are awarded the Set My Picot Free award for outstanding crochet!
This bag is great! From reading the notes on it’s project page, I doubly award you for having the wear with all to finish the bag! Being as bored as you were with the single crochet, but then enjoying the detailing of the project!
By lining, adding embellishments, and a zipper you did what it takes to make crochet go from being “good” to GREAT!
I award you the Set My Picot Free Award!
