I have been crocheting madly since the weekend. I have made a purse, an eyelash scarf, almost finished the backpack, and I am half done on a cotton tote bag! Yeesh!! My DD tripped and broke her arm last Sat morning. She needed surgery to re-set it. She is in a long arm cast up to her armpit. ...

Nora, I received my squares from Pirjo today. Pirjo, Thank you so much for the 2 squares. I really like the yarn you chose. You'll have to tell me about it. Plus, thanks for the pattern. I think you would have to translate for me if I were to make this jacket. I am going to try to get your...
