Crafting 101

So I’m using the next week to gear up for all of March’s blog posts on crochet. It’ll be titled Crochet 2.0 which means I’ll go over the simple things we learned way back when and then show you how to do other things with crochet. It’ll be fun!

Back in June 2008, we learned all about the basics of crochet.  I taught you how to single, double and triple crochet. I showed you tons of neat patterns on using those stitches. March will be even better! I’ll spend the first week of March reviewing the basics. Then I’ll spend two weeks showing you new stitches complete with patterns. In fact, I just made a dishcloth using one of the stitches I’m going to show you and I have another project that I plan on working on that shows you a new stitch. The last week of March will be patterns, patterns and more patterns! I’m going to try and write some new ones if I can (March is so busy for us), but I’m trying to start selling the patterns that I need to have some people testing them. So be ready to make some new things!

April and May are Knitting 2.0 and Sewing 2.0 which is basically the same thing as Crochet 2.0. I am lining up some of my friends who love to sew to write some tutorials up for you guys. I know some great gals that love to sew! Be ready for that! During April, I’m also going to feature a lot of mailing lists that I’m on that if you’re a knitter, you’ve got to be a member of. Not only will they help you with the basics of knitting, they’ll show you these new stitches too that I’ll be teaching you.

So that’s just a preview of the next few months. Like I said, March is busy for us, but is there anyone that’s not busy if you’ve got four kids and a husband? LOL! Well, hope you have a great week! TTFN!
