This month there was a lot of banter about supplies and patterns: where to get them, and at what cost! Some of us are real "stash" junkies, buying up yarn at specialty stores, online and at yarn outlets, and others (like me) tend to keep to local department stores and thrift stores for bargains! Here is a great list of online resources that Dale M put together for us! Thanks Dale!
NOTE: Not all the patterns are free, but some are!
I'd like to mention that I'm very proud to have sold my first crochet pattern on ETSY, just before Christmas.
I have posted 2 patterns on my Etsy Store now, and am very happy to have someone crocheting up one of my original creations: Texting Mitts
As always, it was great to gather, hook, chat and share some great resources. We welcome any local crocheters to join us for the next meeting(s):
