Let's take a look...

Hope you all had a wonderful festive season, whatever you may celebrate.

Oh my - what a busy month December is. I made the mistake of leaving a lot of my shopping to the last minute.

Instead of being all organized as I usually am, we were racing around the weekend before Christmas, battling through feet of snow and icy roads to get to stores packed to the hilt with other frustrated shoppers.

To that I say, "never again!" I vow to be more organized again next year, but it is very difficult with 2 little guys and no babysitter.

Anyway - all was well & we had fun. I hope you did too.

Yarn Search - Find What You Need

Once you've made your selections hit "Go" and it searches for all the keywords you selected. The results give you your required information. The next pages tell you just what you need to know, even whether the yarn is still available or discontinued. This is especially useful if you're tring to track down a yarn you need to complete an unfinished project. It's also interesting if you're looking specifically for a certain fiber.

There are tons of choices. Why not go there & check it out and try a yarn search or two - you never know what you might find.

Fingerless Gloves

They're so easy you can make a pair in a couple of hours (depending how fast a crocheter you are). They are easily adjusted to different sizes too. A little fancy and great for girls young or older. Check them out. I'll bet you'll be making more than one pair.

Want To Teach Crochet?

Interested? Well then, you'll have to contact the Craft Yarn Council. They're offering a course through the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

You don't live in New York? Not a problem - you can do the course by correspondence. You need to have Advanced Beginner skills and the enthusiasm to teach. There are 3 levels - Instructor, Teacher and Professional.

Wouldn't you love to teach a craft you love? Now's your opportunity. They also run the same course for knitting teachers too. Why not take a look, and maybe take the plunge? Do yourself a favor - improve your skills and gain valuable higher education about something you love. You simply can't go wrong.
