I have a new dish cloth pattern that is fun to crochet and works up quickly! Now is a great time to stock up on designs like this for gift-giving season. The complete video tutorial is now live here: https://youtu.be/c68QAQ7HL4k

Some sad news today: our crochet community has lost a friend. Dianne "Dee" Kagay is now with the Lord, but not before blessing many, many people with the work of her hands. I could say many wonderful things about Dianne, but one remarkable goal she had was to leave something for all her grand and great-grandchildren yet to come. This was the first year she chose to enter her local fair and she brought home the ribbons for her excellent work. Dianne, I will miss seeing you during our Watch Channel Zoom Hangouts, but look forward to meeting you in person on THAT day! Below are some of the photos she has sent me over the years to share with you...

Hi Everyone! As much as I would love to go live today for Friday Fun LIVE, I need to postpone this to another Friday. It has been a very intense week with another ER visit & hospitalization for my mother-in-law. Following the hospital we have made the decision to move her to a local hospice where she can get the pain relief she needs with end of life issues. Thanks for your kind prayers that have carried us through this past week. Hopefully I will be able to resume Friday Fun LIVE next week.
