In unrelated news, as some of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook know, I had been working on a crocheted 4th of July dress for my wee girl. My boys were with their dad this holiday, so they escaped my crafty costuming. Clover however, was alllll mine to decorate! 😉
I had originally planned to come up with something for her made completely out of red, white & blue granny squares. The squares morphed into triangles however and once I’d made two of them, I couldn’t resist how cute they’d be as little chi-chi covers. The result is this patriotic, halter dress. Tee hee! I may make her another one in a less Americana colorway too and if you’re interested, I’ll (eventually) write-up the pattern and make it available to you.
Which brings me to my questions: Are any of you interested in me putting together a project that’s all baby pattern related? If so, would you want a book, an e-book (something you could just download), more individual projects, or some other format? Lastly, would you want it to be all knitting & crochet or would you prefer there be some sewing, embellishing and/or paper crafts involved? Or, are you so darn sick of all the baby stuff out there, that you’d gag if you saw another one? I’m just doing a little informal poll so if you wouldn’t mind posting your thoughts here, I’d really appreciate it!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
