Link Love is where I can share the best links to all of my favorite crochet blog posts from the week. I hope you find a gem here you hadn’t discovered on your own!
- The Crochet Twist. Doris Chan discusses the S-twist and Z-twist in yarn. What I really love in this post, though, is how she describes the benefits of working with many different types of yarn. @dorisjchan
- Colorful Crochet Teddy Bear. Le Monde de Sucrette takes her colorful crochet one step further with this adorable teddy bear. She’s selling the pattern.
- Surmount the Stash 2012. Revelations of a Delusional Knitter is hosting Surmount the Stash 2012 where each participant can set their goals for stash busting in 2012. There’s a linky to join in and there will be update linkies once a month to help you stay on track.
- Flower Wreath Dishcloth. A free crochet pattern from One Crochet Day at a Time.
