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!

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!

But the word covers so much more and it very much depends upon who you ask, as to … Continue reading What is an Afghan?
If you were to fill a room with serious Knitters and Crocheters and ask those who do not have a HUGE stash to step forward, what do you think the outcome would be? Sure there may be one, or two who step forward as their stash is small and controlled. But maybe they have only … Continue reading Help! I’m addicted to W.I.P.S and Yarn!
Most people have probably seen the ads for the American Express card in which the motto is, 'Don't leave home without it'. Yes, a few of you are nodding as you know the ads I mean! Well for us die-hard crochet maniacs, while a credit card is a very important thing to have on hand, … Continue reading When you forget to pack your crochet and life happens!
Sounds great in theory! And I always have grand ideas that seem to take forever from idea to completion. Last huge idea I had took over two years to complete, and I think I am sizing myself up for a similar experience. I bought yarn for a large size Afghan approximately a year ago.
