Crochetville and the Crochet Express!

Welcome everyone to the next stop on the Crochet Express!


I hope you have been enjoying this tour of designers, yarn shops and yarn companies along with all of the great giveaways in honor of National Crochet Month.

(In case you have stopped by without coming in on the 'Express', please make sure you check out all that's happening at www.crochetville.com - so many talented designers with many beautiful projects to crochet and give bunches of inspiration.)

A big thank you goes to Amy and Donna of Crochetville for putting this all together - make sure to click on their link above to read some fun travel stories from each designer on the tour - My stories include traveling on a train in Russia and going to Ireland this June.

Today in our house we are celebrating many things - St. Patrick's Day by wearing green, listening to Irish music and eating corned beef; the birthday of our youngest daughter who is turning 7; and crochet! by wearing our crocheted projects and working on new ones together. 

In honor of all of these celebrations I have a new Celtic Knot pattern for you:
 
The Celtic Rose Bookmark
 
This pattern is available for FREE until 4/17 here in my Ravelry store.
 
With my upcoming trip to Ireland in June with Annie's and Craftours and spring on its way here in New England, I am inspired by Irish art and flowers.  I hope you enjoy crocheting this project. Please email me if you have any questions.
 

 
Happy National Crochet Month and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
 
Make sure to check out my friend, Bonnie Barker's blog today - she has a fun song to share and two great giveaways!  Bonnie designs wonderful Celtic cabled projects.

Heart Crochet Projects for Valentine's Day

Did you know the heart symbol goes back to the 13th century?  It is one of the most widely recognizable symbols across the entire globe and I bet you see it at least once a day wherever you may go. 

I love to crochet hearts.  There are many different ways you can do it and each way has a unique style of its own.

In the current February issue of Crochet World  (available here)  there are 3 designs of mine that feature hearts.


 
The Love to Read Bookmark has a lacy heart that works up quickly - the perfect Valentine token for any book lover.
 
 
The Floating Heart Pendant uses simple crochet stitches as a frame for a pretty silver heart-shaped charm.
 
 
The Love You Teddy is snuggly and huggable with his Granny Square-style heart and paws.
 
There is still time to make one of these or all three for those you love in honor of Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day!
