Sweet Saturday Sweet Lady

I going to tell you today about a friend I met here on the internet, blogging. She's a crocheter...not surprising I would connect with a fellow crocheter in the blog land for sure. She's also a published author.

I don't want to give away too much information about her book; but I do want to tell you to visit her on her blog, follow her on Facebook and or Twitter. Subscribe to her newsletter for a discount on her latest book, "Crochet Saved My Life".

Her name? Kathryn Vercillo
Her Blog? Crochet Concupiscence (be sure and add her to your blog log)

I was surprised, and thrilled when she informed me she listed my charity Bridge and Beyond
in the resource section of her book. What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. And so, I give you a sweet act, by a sweet lady on Sweet Saturday.

Crochet and Knitting Books

I'm pretty excited to have found these 2 books at Half Priced Books, plus that particular day there was an additional 30% off. I got a Christmas present while there too, but.......shhhhhhhhhh can't show that.

The Readers Digest looks to be a good how to type book with great details and pictures about how to make certain stitches and I really need that type of help. The 2nd book, Filet Crochet has some darling patterns that would make some nice afghan's or squares for afghans. I'll be using yarn though and not thread. I highly recommend both books and suggest you call your local Half Price Book Store to see if they have them. I already removed price sticker for the knitting book and sorry to say, don't remember what I paid for it; but thought it was a good buy at the time.

Anyone have these books? Funny, I learned to crochet first and have lots of separate pamphlet type patterns like from Leasure Arts, but lately have been more into books with knitting how to's. What's your routine? I have more patterns than I could ever make, and often look at them for ideas; but with crocheting have often not really followed the pattern. Much the way I cook....hum..........I'm seeing a pattern here of not using the patterns. lol
