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…

Crochet by Kristin

Crochet Diva recently posted a laptop cozy by Kristin. Other crochet bloggers started asking about teaching children to crochet, and what age is a good age to teach them, etc. Kristin learned to crochet when she was probably five-years-old. She started out doing simple chains, and gradually worked into doing single crochet making purses that you crochet in the round. Crochet Diva saved everything that Kristin made when she first learned to crochet. Sometimes Kristin would get impatient and skip stitches, but her work is all wonderful. Here are some samples of Kristin’s first purses.

And of course, Kristin’s recent work after six years of practice – a Laptop Cozy for her Momma:

Laptop Cozy

My oldest baby girlie crocheted me a laptop cozy. She’s such a doll. She spent a LOT of hours lovingly crocheting it for me, and I love it…

Musicfest - ‘08

I’ve been scarce the past few days due to being busy with finals. Internet connection was down one day (This seems to always happen during finals for me). I have been taking time to crochet. I will be posting those projects, soon.

 Today was MusicFest, and we went to see Chicklet play in the band. I’m proud of my baby girl! (She’s the one with the bright green clarinet)…
