Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

I was reading Facebook...like I usually do, when I cam across a post from Drew Emborksy, one of my favorite crochet designers...

It started with this Facebook Status from Drew...

Hi everyone, I got this email this evening. Just breaks my heart. ~drew~

Hello Drew, I know this is a long shot but I have been a fan for years and I know how many fans you have that read your blog. My daughter went missing yesterday afternoon. She is only 15 and as you can imagine we are all terrified. I'm hoping you would consider posting the information or links on your blog/twitter/Facebook!?! This is not a scam. All I'm asking is if you can help me get her information out to as many people as possible. I appreciate your time and consideration.http://www.lifeloveandyarn.com/2010/04/cassie-is-missing.html

Sincerely Shannon B

We need to find this young women for the sake of her family. I will post more information in a moment.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
