On March 27, I wrote an about and welcome post to this blog, and since then I’ve been posting regularly. I know I was mostly (only?) talking to myself for the first few months, but I’m glad I stuck with it. Today, I’m sharing my favorite posts of 2011. Series The Essential Crochet Supply Kit has [...]
