Works In Progress
I am still working on all of the same projects as before--the silver capelet and the purple and grey afghan chevron afghan being the two most notable.

Of course, I've also looked at pattern books at the library. (I wouldn't be much of an English major if I didn't turn to the library, would I be?) With the exception of Super Stitches Crochet, which focuses on stitch patterns rather than project patterns, the library books are a little outdated. (Super Stitches is an awesome book and I totally recommend it!)
I am curious, dear reader, where do you find patterns for your projects? Online? Books? Michael's? Blogs? I'd love if you'd share!
I will be linking up at the following:

Cute capelet! Isn't Ravelry an awesome way to find patterns?
ReplyDeleteYES! :-)
Deleteunless you have a totally horrible library, it's likely that you can recommend books for them to order. If you see a book you're interested it, but don't want to purchase, odds are that someone else would like it too. I know my library takes recommendations from patrons all the time-- and sometimes those who work at the library dont know any better, so they welcome people giving suggestions.
ReplyDeleteAnyway *advice done* I love the color of your capelet!!
That's a good idea! I even worked at a library for awhile and didn't think of giving them recommendations!
DeleteThanks!
I always find stuff on Lion Brand, Red Heart, etc. I have found stuff on Pinterest, but it's not often. Sometimes when I DO though, that particular blog has a ton of stuff, so it's like a jackpot every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI really love that yarn-what brand/color is it, if you don't mind sharing?

I love "jackpot" blogs! :-)
DeleteI love this yarn, too! It's one I found on Ebay (shhh!) for a super deal.
Here's a listing for the same kind:
