Crochet Enlace Amor: Los mejores posts de la semana

While the blog was busy moving from one host to the other this week, I was busy continuing to read all of the other great crochet blogs out there. Here’s my roundup of all of the best posts in all areas of crochet blogging from the past week. (Y, por cierto, come back tomorrow for four new “crochet blogger award” announcements, which will catch us up on the days missed while the blog was in transition.)

Dijo, “A veces una persona stand-out viene en una versión en línea de un cóctel y de la puesta en común de nuestros intereses / pasiones y conocimientos crea una especie de clic que resuena con el corazón. Kathryn Vercillo es que “clic” para mí.” Super sweet!
