Nicole Gastonguay crochet art

Nicole Gastonguay's work gives me so much happiness and joy, I cannot stop looking at it. I've visited her website so many times in the last few days and encourage you to do the same.
Just bookmark it, you'll thank me later.


CFF takes over the Bulli country show

I was asked to create an entry for the Bulli country show a couple of week ago.
My breakfast for 1 took 2nd prize but was silently disputed. The 1 place winner was actually a blanket...blankets having their own category, separate from this one, there were a few city slickers slightly upset.


Oh well, there is always next year...

welcome to my world

All things crochet in today’s modern world, this blog will attempt to paint a picture of how crochet has evolved from a contemporary art in the 1970s into a modern art movement and cult following in 2010.

As a self-taught, otherwise-inspired crotchetier under the age of 70, crochet is like any other addictive form of self-expression and I find cannot function in daily life without some type of yarny goodness emerging from my hook.

Crochet has come a long way from your Grandmother's pot-holders and toilet roll covers... from the inventive to the slightly absurd, I’m hoping this blog will introduce you to a few of them.
