Of all of the crochet blog posts that I read this week (and there were over 800 waiting for me when I returned from my 4 day no-computer trip to Southern California) these are the ones that I enjoyed the most. Enjoy!
Something Special
Sir Stephen the Bunny CAL has just begun. @crochetme is hosting a crochet along to make an adorable stuffed bunny wearing a cute vest. The first part, to crochet the head, is scheduled for today and the next part is for a week from today so there’s still time to join in.
Smart Words About Crochet
- Magic Ball Crochet and Knit. What it is and some examples from @craftgossip
- Interesting Pinterest Article. Ik weet, there are so many Pinterest articles right now, but what is unique here is the creative way that TAFA has decided to create a Pin board that members can join to indicate to others that they are fine with their stuff being pinned.
- Interview with June, Part 1. @planetjune shares the answers to some questions asked by her Ravelry group.
- Interview with Krochet Kids. Nice NY Times interview with the non-profit crochet guys.
- 10 Questions with Tanis Galik. An interview with the author of Interlocking Crochet from @SCCmag

Andere Leuke Haak Blog Posts
- Juniper Moon Farm Design Contest Finalists. I mentioned this contest awhile back in one of my weekly crochet calls for submission. Only one of the eight finalists (Christie’s Cowl and Cloche by Karen Watson) are crochet instead of knit (as far as I can tell). Lots of beautiful work though. If you like Juniper Moon Farm, vote for them as the best yarn company at About.com deze week.
- Crocheted Flags for Olympic Countries. Check out the slideshow of this creative blanket donation over at SIBOL.
