Crochet Blog Roundup: February in Review

Happy March. I really can’t believe how fast 2013 is going by. I’ve been so busy with so much stuff not only here on the blog but also with my new book, some good crochet writing gigs I’ve got going on elsewhere around the web and even in my personal life. It’s a good time for me, but it is so jam packed! How are you doing? I genuinely want to know! Give a hello in the comments here or over on my Ravelry group to check in and tell me the good, the bad, the ugly and the inspiring in your life right now.

Before we get too far into March, here’s the roundup of all of the posts that were on here in February in case you missed anything the first time around.

My Next Book: Hook to Heal

Throughout February I continued the fundraising campaign for my next book and multi-media project, which is called Hook to Heal. The project reached its funding goal and I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who supported it!

Crochet Sponsors

Thanks also to the sponsors who helped support this blog in February, particularly Anastacia Knits who was my newsletter sponsor. You’ll be mentioned again in a post later today!

Sponsorship is new on this blog. Want to be a sponsor? Learn more.
