SQUIRREL!!! Ha ha ha!
One of my co-workers as been bringing in a bag of yarn and crochet hooks to work on projects during lunch hour for the Christmas season. When I saw this I had a flashback to my mother teaching me how to crochet when I was 14. I've made quite a few "hole" blankets as I called them. It's scary, but it got to the point that I didn't even have to look down to do the stitches. Anyway I asked R.J. what she was making - A fancy scarf for her sister. "How did you learn to do that?" I asked her. She'd gotten the pattern from www.ravelry.com for free. FREE?!!!! I had to check this site out! This site is so cool. You can create your own library of patterns you like, track the projects you want to work on, list supplies you have, yarn you want to trade and on and on. All you have to do is set up a FREE Account.
I'd love to make this purse...
