The bags are lovely...especially the 5th bag (I love the dog-themed stuff!).  Nice job!   

I adore Sanrio characters too!  Thanks for sharing the link to the interactive doll maker site

Yeah, I just checked the tutorial and I can't see two of the pictures either!   

One of the best tutorials for crochet is stichguide.com
It has videos, detailed instructions. It is a really good site.
Just an FYI

Thanks!  I will have to check that out!

sassyfrass - Wow! That's quite a few craft events around town.  I'll have to take note of those dates and check them out   I've not really given much thought to selling my craftwork.  Most of the stuff I make ends up as gifts to my friends and family.  I do a little of everything - miniature teddy bears, sewing, knitting, paper architecture, beading, etc.  I like crafting because it is therapeutic.  Okay, back to you.  What do you sell?  Perhaps I'd just have to stop by and see what's at Cyrus    


dee521 - Like yourself, I'm always looking for opportunities to learn new crafts and meet folks who enjoy crafting.  If you guys are interested in meeting (perhaps once a month?) on a weeknight, that'll be cool!  Perhaps we could pick a theme once a month (rubber stamps, quilting, polymer clay, etc.) and go from there. 

Absolutely!  Try not to think of it as a 'yarn addiction'.  Here's a positive reason to learn how to crochet - it'll help you work through your yarn stash and give you reasons to purchase yet more yarn   I used to know how to crochet.  In fact, I remember making all kinds of pot holders, little sweaters for my dolls, etc.  Now that I've learned how to knit, I haven't an inkling on how to crochet!     BTW, any sign of the other sock?!?

Wow...the beads are sooo pretty     L's really lucky

I guess I'm the opposite   I sort of knit but can't crochet.  I have every intention of learning how to crochet because there are a few super cute crochet patterns for scarves in this forum!   

Just wanted to say a quick 'virtual' hello to sassyfrass!  I still have not made it in to check out Cyrus...but I have every good intention of doing that!   

Hi dee521!

I agree with you about the crafting events issue.  If there's enough interest, we should just get together as a group and make it happen!
