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

good morning – well afternoon, now, really.

Here’s a little round up of posts I’ve read that I think you too might find interesting!

Planet June shares a video on invisible sc decreases

Lion Brand shares tips on caring for hand knits

How to Knit the Bluebell Rib Stitch

Silk Moon Crescent garter stitch shawl & info about a knitalong including prizes – I am DYING to start this baby!! do I need another project ?? but it’s garter & it’s stripes & it’s a shawl!

I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to read my blogs & I’m always behind. I’ve actually been thinning out my list a bit, I’m trying to cut back on some of my non-craft blogs, so I have more time to read my actual craft blogs. have you found any new craft blogs you just love lately? Have you done a round up blog post? Please share!

It’s time for another hooked together post!  I’m still way, way, way behind in my blog reading, but I wanted to share a new blog I’ve recently found. It’s called

Glorious Treats (you’d think with all my food blogs I actually cooked or baked once in a while, but I don’t…) One of my favorite recipes (from January) she shared with us is cranberry white chocolate bars yum!
The post that got me hooked on her blog was Candy Corn Cheesecake Mousse (photo shown above). Great recipes & pretty photos? I’m there.
