March is National Crochet Month
News to me. But Neatorama says so! (But some of their links are knitted, not crocheted. Picky, picky.) I’ve blogged about some of these before, and even given them places of honor in my Snark and Awe links. Enjoy!

All white cotton thread jewelry is still 25% in my shop on 1000 Markets.
At the First Saturday Arts Market in the Heights, all white cotton thread jewelry will be 25% off! Also a few select Valentiney things. Don’t miss it!
I am crocheting a doily, and as soon as I finish, I’m going to rip it out. So I can measure how much thread is in it. It’s kind of heartbreaking.

I’m pretty sure the category will be clothing accessories, and it will involve dyeing, silk thread and silk fabric. And still lots of tiny crochet. Because that’s the point.
Yesterday I sold my best, prettiest and most expensive earrings. That made me feel appreciated and accomplished.
I just made a new blocking board for the jewelry-sized doilies. The previous one was looking a bit pincushiony. I block everything viciously on concentric circles. Makes everything look gooooood!
