Original Crochet Designs. Ramblings and Satire about Crochet. I have been hesitant to create a blog as personally I don’t know if it is for me or not. It is the obvious next step for someone who designs to have one, but not everything is sunshine and rainbows. I will see how it goes and if I find anyone raining on my parade (due to this public platform), then I guess I will cut and run. This blog is for my crochet and so for those ‘Storm clouds’ who hover in the background waiting to pounce, I say go wreck your havoc on someone else for a change! What you won’t find here is perfect Grammar and Spelling. So if you happen to be a Grammar and Spelling Freak, then move along. And if you happen to enjoy my post, please give it a like and follow my blog. Stalkers are welcome. Enjoy reading about crochet! It is all RELATIVE!
