Goodness, sorry for the delay in posting the winner of the apple crochet roll - it is Paula from Hearty Works! My cube-wall-sharing friend Carlos was kind enough to pick a winner for me last Friday, but I forgot to post before I took a computer break for the weekend. Congrats Paula, the crochet roll is in the mail.
This weekend I spent a bunch of time practicing crochet again. I am really enjoying it. I completed another dishcloth - this time in half double crochet and with stripes! I tried a couple techniques for changing colors - one from my crochet book and one from YouTube. The one from YouTube worked best. So, I have one perfect stripe and one not so perfect stripe. Oh well, the dishcloth will still work just as well.
I also started a cute bag - one like Dawn gave me for Christmas 2007. It seemed like a great way to practice and it is working up really quickly. I will post pictures when I am finished.
Stay tuned for more this week - I am planning on posting a tutorial for a project I made a long time ago. Hopefully my camera will be delivered to day so I can take pretty pictures for it.
I GOT MY PRESENT TODAY!!! THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting one of these for ever so long! I TRIED making my own, but this is SO MUCH NICER!! I ran upstairs (with my daughters oohhhing and ahhing behind me) and quickly took all my hooks out and put them in my new roll! Thank you again!!! :) Shot me an email when you have the tutorial up so I can give some link love to it (and make one myself to give as a gift to a crochet friend of mine). :)
