The New Year started off with many people finishing up their projects after the holidays and also starting new projects for the year! One thing for sure, crocheters are prolific producers of yarn goodness! It was tough picking from so many wonderful projects....I tried to select a variety of projects, and to feature some people that have not been showcased elsewhere---you know, spread the love!

Here are some of your favorites along with some projects that I thought should be featured in case you missed them!

Congratulations to our Featured Crocheters!!

Beautiful stitching is one of the things that draws people to crochet. This lovely wrap is just perfect.

Combining crochet and pop-tabs is the Craftster way! It is a breadbasket but it could be so many other things as well! Clever and interesting...that is what makes this project rock!
