Clever Crochet Accessories Giveaway!

Yes, I'm biased, Yes Interweave gave me a copy of Clever Crocheted Accessories and I'm taking a large measure of joy that my hat is on the cover. 
Here's a link to preview the book. 
Here's a link to buy the book.

When I heard that I had a pattern included in this amazing compilation of big names in the Crochet Business, of course I was thrilled.  THEN, Brett Bara told me that she liked my hat so much, she MADE ONE for herself!  (GASP!) When I saw the cover with my Saturday Hat on it, I nearly fell off the couch. Really, it was exciting.

In beautiful Interweave fashion (Think Unexpected Afghans, Blueprint Crochet, Simply Crochet., etc) the photography is clean and engaging, the patterns clear and tested.  In this accessory book is everything from hats to jewelry, socks, mittens, belts to capelets... no, really, it starts with a hat (mine! squee!) and ends with a Chunky Capelet (Doris Chan!) 25 Quick weekend projects. 
And in between are names you will know and love: Robyn Chachula, Marly Bird, Drew Emborsky, Vickie Howell, Linda Permann, Amy Polcyn... I really would love to carry around Regina Rioux's Amazing Motif Bag.

If you like my Saturday Hat, it's a Bruges Lace style pattern, check out my book Learn Bruges Lace for two more Bruges style hat patterns plus a blanket, a bracelet, a cowl, and two scarves in this exciting style.  Learn Bruges Lace. Or, if you want a signed copy and live in the US, you can buy Learn Bruges Lace from me by clicking "Buy Now" in the upper right hand corner of this blog page.

Are you in? Crochet everywhere!

So, by now, you're a member of Ravelry, right? I mean, is anyone NOT a member of Ravelry at this point?
But, are you a member of Craftsy?  It's fun... it'll make you feel good.... (just kidding). But really, it WILL!

Yes, Craftsy is similar to Ravelry in some ways, but the biggest difference is the online classes (of which I have purchased... MANY)  Go sign up for a free membership to Craftsy, by clicking this Craftsy Link.  Once you are there, please follow me! I am, of course, "GoCrochet" on Craftsy.

Then take a gander at all the classes... there are some FREE ones that you would like:

Know your Wool
Short Rows with Carol Feller (knitting)
Dipped, Dusted and Rolled (chocolate truffles, yum.... I think this one was free)

We can talk about all the awesome crochet classes later, but for now, just get signed up and I'll see you there. You can click on the "I'm a Craftsy Designer" icon on the right side bar of this blog page.
