In a note that will surprise nobody, I’ve been rather busy lately.  Some great things are in the works, but I’ve had to be very careful budgeting my time, and (as normal) the blog is one of the first things to go.  But I wanted to share a few updates:

If you’re thinking of attending these classes, signup as soon as you can!  As you know, teaching is one of the big ways that I’m able to do this fulltime, so if you love my classes and want to see more of them, having you signup and take my classes is a great way for both of us to benefit!  I also love to see repeat students – it always makes my day!

New Patterns
I’ve got two new patterns that came out with the April issue of Crochet!.  I know it’s not April: Annie’s magazines are released well before their “official” date, so they can get to stores in time.  The two designs are:

Both Points of Interest and City Girl can be bought at almost any of the big box craft stores: Michael’s, JoAnne’s, etc, as well as bookstores and online.  I’d love to hear about what you think of these patterns!
