Knit and Crochet Pattern Books

I was browsing through Amazon today, looking for the latest and greatest crochet pattern book. I really don't need another one, but I am a true addict who has to have the latest. I might miss something in the crochet world. My pet peeve: why when you type in crochet do you get 3 books crochet 12 for knitting, then on top of that the books that have both crochet and knit has 2 crochet patterns and again, 12 knit patterns. I am so happy that there are women in this world that can do both, I applaud you, but I am not one of the fortunate ones. I really hate to buy a book that has both. Pick one, do one, don't mix it up. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hank of Yarn, Ms

Took trip out of state on Friday-only 40 minutes from my house, to Hank of Yarn. Kathy had invited me to come down and talk about a class on my ornaments. What a blast! These ladies are really a great group. The store was a buzz with activity and everyone was happy to be in their element. I do enjoy the fact that it is a crochet friendly shop...they speak crochet and knitting, not just knitting. The store was bursting with beautiful yarn, every color every size.

I loved talking about crochet and especially my ornaments. They are going to teach some classes so check with them to see when that might be. They are located at 7075 Malco Blvd, Southaven, MS, www.hankofyarn.com.

Back in the blog saddle

Since my last post I have been laid off from my wonderful job at International Paper. It wasn't a surprise, we knew it was coming and they did right by us all. This has freed me up to finish my book while I look for another job. I have even started another book on crochet earrings. I will post some pictures soon.

I have a busy day with a birthday lunch with my BFF's (Happy Birthday Vicky) and then down to a yarn shop in Southaven , MS. They have invited me to stop by and help set up a class to teach how to make my ornaments, how cool. I'll take some photos and post them when I get home.
