This uber-cool French Canadian band - Tricot Machine - have created an animated music video comprised soley of over 700 black and white knitted panels. Absolutely amazing to watch and a good song too!

I’m also posting this on my Knitting Videos page.
The very cool Laurie Wheeler - fearless leader of the CLF and Editor Darlissa Riggs have created a fabulous online magazine chock full of patterns, news and articles for crocheters.
The CLF is dedicated to promoting the often overlooked art of crochet - 
- and have just released their first book, available on Amazon, or here, called “Crochet Liberation Front First Ever Book”.
Check it out!

My US supplier has just started socking Regia sock yarn. I am ordering some and will have the full colour range up for pre-order soon.
The price will be $13 per 50g / 231 yard ball
I’ve been busy this evening entering the full range of Namaste Knitting Totes and Accessories from California. These uber-cool bags for fibre-addicts are made from animal-friendly, synthetic leather and are so roomy, you don’t have to worry about fitting your keys, make-up, baby wipes etc…in there either! And of course you don’t have to use them just for knitting/crochet. They make great nappy bags, overnight bags or for college/school.
They’re on pre-order at the moment, but I’m sure they’ll be so popular I’ll have a stash of them in-store soon!
I am in a mad rush this week to try and finish some projects for the Global Market Day at a local church. One of my friends is a member and encourage me to have a stall there. I’m going as American Yarns and also as Couture Crochet - my etsy store.
And this is Gretel the Fabric Pig. I dabble in a little sewing too. 
I got the pattern for these from a lady on Etsy - Sylver Designs. They were crocheted with aran and linen Super Saver. I stuffed them with tissues to help them stand up for display! They’re a newborn size.
This is a crocheted bag I made using a free leaflet pattern from Lily, using Sugar ‘n Cream.
The cute keyrings below were crocheted from a pattern in “Get Hooked” by Kim Werker - pattern called “Keychain Baubles”, p.68. I used America’s Best branded crochet thread, Size 5.
During one of my many travels around the craft world, I came across these ultra-hip, handmade bags by an uber-talented Dena. Take a look at her blog and click on ‘Purses, Bags and Totes‘ on the left-hand-side. Oh and the general aesthetic feel of the site is just gorgeous. I so want a site like that (gush gush). LOL!
I’m always on the lookout for the work of International crocheters - I find it really interesting to see how the craft is worked in other countries. So I was excited when I came upon the website of an Indonesian lady. Thata Pang is a knitter and crocheter with some lovely patterns. She also does some charity work, crocheting bags fro disadvantaged schoolchildren in Indonesia. Check out her charity page here.
I came across this link posted by one of the members of a Yahoo group I belong to. It’s the website of a fibre artist called Joana Vasconcelos - a Portugese woman who creates the most incredible art and sculpture from crochet, knitting and fabric. Go to her website and click on ‘Collections’ to see her work catalogued by year. A MUST-SEE!
