I finished my project using the Butterfly Stitch. It worked up quickly and looks nice. I like trying different stitches to see what effects we can get. This one will work well for scarves, shawls, blankets, etc. You can find an easy to follow pattern here.

I had a chance to experiment with a couple of new stitches. This is the Butterfly Stitch using Caron Cakes (that I love). The self striping yarn is so much fun and so easy to work with because you don’t have to change yarn over and over again to get a beautiful look. It does the work for you! Don’t you LOVE it?!

I’ve been working with my friend Deb to set up her Square Store so that soon you will be able to purchase her amazing yarns for your knitting and crochet. Deborah Ray hand spins her own fibers and wools and also hand dyes. The results are amazing!!! Please watch for her store coming soon and you will be able to have some of this beautiful yarn. Love it!

One of the things I like best about crochet is that you can make just about anything with yarn. I’ve made blankets and vests and slippers and dog sweaters and on and on. I like making these soft baskets that can hold all kinds of things including more yarn! You can never have enough yarn in your stash! LOL!

Yesterday the Interweave blog had an interesting post for President’s Day all about First Ladies who crocheted. I was so interested to read about Ida Saxton McKinley who crocheted over 4000 slippers while her husband was in office despite her ill health. The photos today are from a wonderful article on Betsy Butler’s blog. (See it here.) This is from Interweave:

I finished the Doctor Who scarf this weekend just in time to take it next month to ConGT in Clarksville, TN. Click here for more info that I shared earlier about it.
