I haven’t done this in a little while & I think it’s time I did, don’t you? It’s a round up of just some of the blog posts that caught my eye this week.

First, though not “fiber”, I can’t help but share the “support your local quilt shop” blog tour going on right now. I support local & indie & I do love this idea – and I think, as fiber lovers, we should organize a “support your local yarn shop” blog tour as well – but that’s an idea for someone much more organized than me (just let me know if you do!)

a collection of ripple afghan patterns (free) (and as a side note, if you do like ripple patterns, don’t forget I have a free “scrap ripple afghan” pattern of my own, or my paid “wells ripple” design)

beautiful crocheted heart arrows

basics of cable knitting

An Interview with…Erika Knight on How to become a professional knitter

tiny squares free crochet pattern (very cute stash busting idea)

summer flower granny square, another free crochet pattern

and this is a wonderful idea that I just heard of, it’s the beautiful bloggers afghan blanket, you make a couple of crochet-only squares, they all get joined together & one person wins the whole beautiful blanket! Her deadline is the end of January so you must act quick
