Doo-dads and gizzmos

Ever wonder what some of the doo-dads and gizzmos are that you often see in the yarn department?  Well, I've added a list of some - complete with pictures and how to use them.  Check both the Knit Helpful Hints and the Crochet Helpful Hints pages.  Scroll all the way down.  Along the way you'll also see what I hope is useful information about yarn and other knit and crochet related things.

New info

Today I've added to the following pages:
My Crochet~ Finished
My Knit ~ Finished
Helpful hints in both Knit and Crochet about yarn standards

Next - knitting and crocheting abbreviations- Enjoy!

My loyal crochet students

The ladies tonight, hard at work on their granny square throws.  Good job as always!  I should have taken another picture to show how much you were able to finish. 
Thank you for being able to reschedule the class I had to cancel last week. 

Good people, good time!

Today I showed off my  new story board for my 2nd Michaels store and met some great people.  Thanks to everyone who stopped and talked to me.  Can't wait to see you in a class soon!  Click on either the E. Washington St or Avon tab above and see my schedule of classes for both locations.
