I was searching for older crochet patterns, I found your photos. Do you have the patterns for the yellow one that is covering the baby? Or what book was it from? Hope you don’t mind telling me. Thank you for your time.

I have that book! but you must have an updated version ’cause mine doesn’t have the blonde bombshell and baby dang namit. Fabo crochet sites include Attic 24, Sarah London, Lindamade – all very inspirational!

I think we have talked about this before Claire, you really do need to put some more effort into your ‘do’, I think you would look fab platinum blonde with a little perm, add a crochet dress to the mix and you are on your way!

Claire lets go to crochet school!! You might have to go to my hairdresser to get “THAT” blonde but if I can do it you can too. OR a wig!! I think a wig as you should do anything with chemicals when you’re pregnant…naughty naughty lol

People who crochet make it look so easy. I taught myself a little bit but it is much easier to have someone next to you to show you how I think. I can never remember the actual stitches for double crochet and slip stitch and all the other ones too. If I could I would have a much better time. There are some fantastic tutorials out there now on the internet, The Royal Sisters, Dont Mind If I Knit and I cant remember the other website now…. something Attic. Will get back to you on that later on!

Ah, there is much that remains wince-worthy about crochet (as up to the eyeballs in it as I am). I reckon the tie falls conclusively into that sort of category!
