Κάτι Ειδική
March is National Crochet Month. Check out the excerpt from the article that Μιλώντας πλέκω did about this:
“The Crochet Guild of America started National Crochet Week in 1999 as a way to celebrate our beloved craft and to let others know about the guild. That year, President Pam Oddi designed a pattern as a gift to every member. It was a filet crochet chart used to make a bookmark that read “I Love Crochet.” Crocheters had fun, and the celebration blossomed. Now it is a whole month long, and we call it National Crochet Month. There’s so much to celebrate!”
Lots of blogs and crochet websites are doing neat things this month to celebrate so it’s a great time to be tuned in to our crochet community!
Smart Δημοσιεύσεις πλέκω
- Living My Crochet Life. Designer @sheryluvsyarn talks in this post about learning to craft for the feeling of crafting and not the satisfaction of publication or other external validation. Το λατρεύω αυτό το!
- Coronation Crochet. @yarnclasses shares thoughts on getting inspired by our grandmas and great-grandmas (and maybe not our moms for some of us).
- Looking Back on Crochet. @ChelseaNorquay looks back at an old granny square vest project and celebrates the joy of those early projects even with their imperfections.
- Interview with Vickie Howell. Jo-Ann interviews this knit and crochet designers for Creativity Made Simple. She’s a smart woman in the craft business so I always love hearing what she has to say!
I also thought I’d mention here that the great crafty @whipup blog has monthly guest editors this year. The March guest editors are @freshstitches and @abbyglassenberg, both of whom are stuffed animal designers (in crochet and sewing respectively). I’m looking forward to their smart posts over there! Τυχαία, I will be a Whip Up guest editor later this year.

Video of the Week
Sneak peek of the May/ June 2013 θέμα της πλέκω Σήμερα:
Νήμα
- How to Make Plarn. A basic photo tutorial from CrochetChrisie.
- How to Make Yarn from Sheets and T-shirts. Tutorial links from @creativejmom
- The Business of Dyeing Spinning Fibers. @HeySweetGeorgia shared a link to a downloadable (free) magazine article about Starting a Business that also talks a little about their business of dyeing spinning fiber. The article was written by @yarnworker.

- New Yarn from @lionbrandyarn. They’ve put out a new yarn called Bellini and have three videos to share it – one about the yarn and one each for how to knit and crochet with it since it’s an interesting novelty yarn.
Άλλες Crafty Stuff
- Croshame shared a cool fiber art project at the Denver airport. It included work from the Κυρίες Fancywork Κοινωνία, who I just mentioned recently (but hadn’t known what they were up to). And it also included an area where passers-by could contribute their own art. Awesome.
- How to Sell Crafts and Products Online. A great overview of the pros and cons of the different options put together by @planetjune.
- Evolution (Unravel 2013). @Sarah_Knight of Crafts from the Cwtch shares her evolution as a knitting blogger attend a craft event three years in a row. Interesting to watch her chart this development! @supertinks also did a post about attending this fiber event.
- Big Box Heaven. @futuregirlcraft shared her crafty finds at a big box craft store. The reason this post made me smile is because in most places the big box store is the default go-to place for crafters because of convenience but Alice lives here in San Francisco where it’s much easier to go to a local boutique store, LIGHT, κλπ.. than to trek out of the city toa big box store, so she mentions this as a guilty pleasure.
- Did you know that there’s a crafty competition for TV coming up called The Fiber Factor?
- Congrats to Dora Ohrenstein who has joined the team of the Talking Crochet newsletter as one of the editors. Dora’s new book on Tunisian Crochet was αξιολόγηση this week by @crochetlibfront.
