The Crochet Crowd Giveaway, Yarn BoxYarn Tasting Event & Giveaway

I am back at Spinrite Factory Outlet on June 22nd from 10 am - 3 pm. Despite the name of the event called Yarn Tasting, we don't actually eat this yarn though it looks delicious. Yarn Tasting is another word for getting more details and trying the yarn for yourself to use.

Directions & More Info about Spinrite Factory Outlet

Spinrite are the makers of Bernat and Patons. They have just released a few new yarns that you will start to see in stores near you. You will also be able to purchase this online if you can't find it locally.

Umbrelladisplay

Thank Gawd for Creativity as it knows no limits. 

In displaying at Creativ Festival in the Fall of 2012 at the Metro Convention Centre, we had to put together a display that would rock your socks off. The festival is known for being medium to a high end show. You don't dare go there and slap together a display that looks cheap as people expect to find something really amazing. 

 

Daniel Zondervan, The Crochet Crowd® Designer, created this amazing one-of-a-kind display for less than $30 dollars! It doesn't get any cheaper than that.

Umbrella4How To Crochet A Shade Umbrella


I was captivated by these cheap umbrellas over at Walmart and thought to myself, "How can I make this ordinary umbrella into being extraordinary?" It occurred to me that I need to look at some doilies that match the number of sides of the umbrella. This one has 8 prongs going around so I need to look for a doily that has 8 definite sides to keep the umbrella looking balanced. 

If you click Read More, I will show you my steps I did to create a Shade Umbrella. It's not meant to protect you from the rain and is an artistic approach to an umbrella that is unique and a conversational piece.

VogueKnittingLarge2646Mikey Featured in Vogue

From talk to reality, I received a beautiful half page feature about The Crochet Crowd and myself. 

I will admit, when Lee Ann Dalton, writer, contacted me in January 2013 about the potential to be featured, I was really floored that Vogue Knitting would classify me as someone worthy to talk about in their magazine. I was beyond thrilled.

Vogue Knitting Crochet Edition is done once per year and I am truly honoured that I was selected to partake in this edition. The compliments from Lee Ann about my journey and work were really touching.

You can read more about this issue and/or buy a copy for yourself. You can instantly download this to your mobile device and/or pick up at copy at a newsstand near you.

Look for this edition on newsstands and/or instantly download this edition through iTunes.

May28th2013Railway Knitter, Changing Demographics + Free Patterns

This is our most popular edition ever released on The Crochet Crowd. Our feature article with Dela Wilkins really impacted a lot of people with the enthusiasm and creativity that Dela is up to. We've noticed that our demographics has sunk down by 10 years in the past 6 months. It appears crochet is starting to hit the younger generation with us. Of course, like every edition I have free patterns to share. See our This Newsletter Edition Now.

May 21, 2013 Newsletter for The Crochet CrowdCrochet by Numbers, Stitches Library + Free Patterns

This week I focused on a fabulous guy by the name of Todd Paschall. He is the owner of Crochet by Numbers. Just like you see the Michael Jackson done in crochet on the sweater, he has figured out an easy way to do portraits within crochet projects. It's really remarkable. Also, I have created a new Stitches Library that takes you back to square 1 for learning crochet stitches. Whether you need a refresher or are just starting out, it's available when you need it the most. Of course, I finish off the newsletter with more free patterns. See This Edition Now.
