New Adventures…learning, growing & spreading our wings


One of the things that I love about fiber arts is that there is always something new to try. The new thing can be within something that I already do, like learning a new stitch, or it can be something totally new that still uses yarn (or fiber). Or, it may even be a new way of sharing your fiber journey…like blogging!

Starting in April (can you believe it is almost here?!?!?) Krista and I will be starting our week with Tuesday blog posts! Make sure that you stop by and check it out. We have a variety of ideas for topics and are so excited to get started!

NOT YOUR GRANDMAS GRANNY SQUARE!

In case you've missed it, crocheted garments have hit the runway!   According to Glamour Magazine, New York Fashion Week " spring collections bring with them a resurgence in all-crochet everything—from tops to rompers to frilly dresses. You can go as hard as you want on this trend, whether that's adding a single blouse to your wardrobe or decking yourself out head to toe. (We see you, Michael Kors.)" The picture above is Dolce and Gabana... yes, you read that right:  Dolce and Gabana.  If you had asked me if we'd ever see a Dolce and Gabana crocheted outfit, I would have bet money that we would see you-know-where freeze over before we'd EVER see that happen!  But here it is . . . crocheted items walking down the runway. Let's celebrate -  let's spread the word - let's wallow in this development!  Crocheters stand up proud and hold your heads high!  Crochet has been taken from being considered a less-than-worthy craft to FASHION-...
