Dear Readers…I want to wish you a happy happy Thanksgiving…

In honor of the holidays I want to remind you that I have kept my downloads affordable for all on Lulu.com and have put the Crochet Liberation Front First Ever Book on sale for the Holiday season on the CLF Website! it’s only $24.50 and free shipping! That’s 36 patterns and 13 articles folks…what a deal!

If you need some quickie gift ideas look on the pages here, there a few free patterns that you can play around with, and everyone just adores those little flannel ornaments. Fill them with dried lavendar or cloves and you have a nice little sachet :)

I hope this holiday finds you happy and well! Blessings to you all ;)

Long time no blog

Posted by camanomade on November 22, 2008

Hey folks…It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, but the CLF has eaten my life :) In a good and fabulous way. But it is here that I think I will order my thoughts about crochet and yarn here and occaisionally post projects etc.

I still can’t spin much, more than 15 mins and my shoulder aches and well that makes me feel sad. I love spinning.  But I do help my daughter with her spinning, and we both crochet together.

Today I made a fabulous neck wrap/pillow and felted it …it all worked out great :)
Anyway, dont’ forget about all the very cool crochet goodies you can make this holiday season :)
