I’m now CrochetCastle on Ravelry. Add me! I’m still trying to learn Ravelry, so I’m not sure how to do everything yet. Any pointers??

Distressed Jean-look Woolen Longies
Here are the crocheted ladybugz morning glory pattern wool longies that I crocheted, and then dyed with kool-aid. They are a little long on the wee diva, because they were crocheted to fit her this winter. I added some fringe to the bottoms, and a little fringe to have the holey-distressed-blue-jean-look.
Wee Diva was having a “Diva Moment”:

Crochet Socks
I’m joining in on the fun with socks. No, I’m not knitting them — I’m crocheting them! I still haven’t learned knitting, and I am too in love with crochet to betray her (him?) like that (Not to mention I am too busy with college to learn a new craft/art form right now). I bought this book from Amazon.com (I’m an Amazon junkie!):
I’m really excited about these socks. I think they are adorable! Now I need even more books, tho… You know how that goes! Has anyone used these patterns? I have read several reviews on it, and it seems to be popular.
Here are a couple I want to get in the near future:
Does anyone have a recommendation as to which one is the best, etc? I’d love to see socks anyone has crocheted from any of these.
Oh, and does anyone have a favorite sock yarn they would recommend?
Well, I’m off to make socks!

Has the “Crochet Blog” Rapture happened?? — Where are my favey bloggers??
I have many RSS subscriptions that I check almost daily, but there are some Crochet Blogs that I don’t even bother checking on RSS, I just type in their addresses, because I know them by heart. Some of these are HobbyZu.com/blog and Monstercrochet.blogspot.com. If you are looking for some highly creative crochet blogs to read, these two will definitely spark your interest. Then, there are other blogs I always read that have absolutely nothing to do with crochet or crochet blogs/blogging, but I read them and draw inspiration from the writings and pictures they post. These blogs include fugged.livejournal.com and the-moaner-lisa.livejournal.com. Why am I mentioning these blogs right now? Well, quite frankly, because I like them/they caught my interest/they have the IT factor… These people choose to put their craft/their crochet/their lives out here for others to read, and bare their very souls to their readers (Am I being a bit too dramatic here?? LOL). I like blogs that give you a little piece of the reader. I like to feel like I am experiencing something with a person when I read their blog, and these people have this affect on me. Thank you one, and thank you all!
Anywho, I said all of that to say this. Where are you all?? MoanerLisa drops the big one on me talking of Phil’s proposal (Reality TV and Soap opera’s can’t touch this blog), without so much as telling us what transpired from there, and everyone else I assume is enjoying summertime without sharing… (Tho I, too, am guilty of this one lately)…
So, an update: Crochet has been slow. Homework is getting the best of me… I keep truckin’. I keep encouraging myself as usual with the ole “Time is going to go by anyway, so use it”, but these assignments keep coming, and I really would rather be crocheting. Is there a degree out there anywhere in CROCHET??? As much as I love studying Psychology, I still just want to crochet… :-/ Maybe tomorrow I can get my crochet fix. I have several unfinished projects in the works, and several projects that are only in the imaginative stages, yet they are screaming to come out (Could this be some form of crochet schizophrenia?? — or perhaps I am studying too much Abnormal Psychology and I am reading too much into this???) I prescribe two full days of crochet and blogging, and its a sure fix (No, and I’m not talking about the “Placebo Effect”, this is the real deal :-P).
And for everyone out there who wants to see a little texturous crocheted fibers, here is a peek at the Wee Diva’s Crochet Independance Day Halter, and all the girlies showing their patriotism on the 4th of July:
More to come…
