Michael and I are working on our show for the October Creativ Festival and our theme is 'By the Sea'
 
Soooo, We are looking for help from our viewers and crocheters to create sea animals and fish toys that a child would love. During the festival each of these will be sold and 100% proceeds will be given to
Crafting for a Cure Charity, our registered charity.

Put you thinking caps on and more information will be coming soon. Sending them to us is not untill September 2013.

Greetings!

After several months of work, The Crochet Crowd Website has been completely overhauled with an entire new user friendly atmosphere.
The Crochet Crowd Website
Same Place, Different Face.
I am really confident that you will love the new website. It has a Pinterest-like feature that makes for finding content more visually appealing and easy to navigate.

New Features
  • New sort buttons & tabs. Find out what happens when you click one! It's really cool! 
  • Patterns with videos will play in our website so you can following along with me.   
  • Printer friendly format patterns.
  • Some modules have "LOAD MORE" on the bottom. You will see this under Reviews on the top upper menu. Click LOAD MORE and see what happens. This will be used more in the future.  
More changes are coming in the next several weeks, stay tuned for more details.

Circular Crochet Shawl Pattern
I am currently crocheting one of these for a show sample. It is the Circular Motif Shawl. It's much easier than it appears. It's one of those projects you can be proud of yourself afterwards but easily done.

Shhh... don't tell non-crocheters it was easy as they may one for for themselves. I'm doing mine in a different yarn and colour.
I crochet the 2nd Pattern from the left.
