De todas as centenas de crochê no blog eu li esta semana, estes foram os melhores e os que eu acho que você pode gostar!
Algo especial
Stacey of Fresh Stitches has launched a crocheters’ kit club. Ela explica: “when you sign up for the FreshStitches kit club, you’ll receive an exciting, exclusive kit every other month for a period of 6 meses (that’s 3 kits, total).” What’s in the kit? An original FreshStitches crochet stuffed animal pattern, the yarn and notions necessary to complete the project, a note explaining the inspiration for the piece, “exclusive pattern notes or technique video” plus something special each time to keep you curious. You must sign up by 11/30/12 to be a part of this first 6 month kit club session.
