For the Love of #Crochet

So you get to tweeting, pinning, tumbling, facebooking, and raveling, and all of the sudden it's almost like you don't have a blog anymore!  This is not good, folks.  It should not be so.

Life is great in Mexico City. There's much going on - far too much to enumerate here.  What has inspired me to write today is a pretty cool magazine I picked up on a recent trip to Florida.  The name of the magazine is Love of Crochet, Spring 2012 (Ravelry Link) and it is published by Creative Crafts Group, LLC.  I bought it at a local chain bookstore for $6.99.

What My (Famous) Stitching Group Made

I love sharing photos of the work of my wonderful stitching group! I adore all of them. Each one of us has a different forte when it comes to yarn crafting, so we love getting together and sharing what we do.

By the way, we are famous, as we were recently mentioned in the Holiday Collector's Issue of Vogue Knitting.  :)  (Yes, still excited!) 

Dvora is teaching her friend to knit. 
Hooray for new crafters!

I cast on some broomstick lace.

You can check on my progress on the "Il Pleut" Ravelry Project Page.

Are you impressed yet? Yes, that is about 8 active needles you see there.

David makes the most complex projects on the tiniest needles.  He makes the most beautiful knit amigurumi and is fascinated by crafts of all kinds.  

And he taught himself tatting.  I know. Totally cool.  (These are tatting shuttles, by the way.)

Jimena's fine handiwork has resulted in a beautiful sweater. 

Angeles is a whiz at free-form crochet.

 

I love my crafting friends!!
