It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

...Everywhere I go....And my Christmas knitting is NO WHERE near being finished!! But what do I want to do? Of course! Add another UFO to my pile of WIPs!! I want to make these slippers to wear during the holidays. Anybody want to join me in a CAL? Let me know – I've got the pattern ready to go...just need to get yarn and a larger hook. I'm wondering even about doing an elf version with green....hmmmm....

So...I was wondering if y'all would be interested in having a crochet/knitting themed white elephant Christmas party. Whatcha think? Check your emails for voting buttons to choose what works for you. Maybe have a $10-15 price limit. I know there's lots going on but go vote it would be fun! :)
Keep up the great stitching! And...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

AWESOME NEWBS!

Welcome to all our wonderful newbies today!!! We're so glad y'all have joined are "skeinky, loose hookers" group. We have a reputation to live up to and I will make every effort that we all hold up our end of the bargain.

It will be frustrating at first but keep practicing the basic stitches. These are the foundation of many wonderful things you can create later. Once you get the chain and single crochets down...the sky's the limit!

Check the links here and on YouTube. You'll be able to find lots of help or ask Debra or me if you have any questions.

And a SPECIAL THANKS to Debra for all her help and patience in getting us starting and learning how to crochet. YOU ROCK, SKULLY!!
