This is one of the Flowers in my New Flower Crochet Pattern Book, and one of the rose flower patterns is here for free! Also new free coupons for discounts on my Etsy Pattern Store!

Hello all, this is one of the flowers I wanted to be sure to show you...dang proud of it!

It's not a free pattern (to see the book it's in, click here), but I will have it singly on my Etsy pattern store soon for $1.49 AND don't forget my best free rose pattern is right here (it's the second picture)

I don't know why crocheted flowers are the thing I keep coming back to...they are such a humble but to us, instinctively beautiful a form. And I notice that as I create a ruffle with a stitch which doubles and triples, that ruffle is created in such an organic way, the way a real ruffled petal gets more crowded and hence ruffled. Love love love it! As far as natural forms in crochet go, I've simply got to finish my ruffled scarfettes which look like ginkgo leaves and lichens, and there is a mermaid "under-the-sea" scarf which looks like an almost freeform crochet interpretation of coral reef forms. So check back soon, my crochet hook is hot!! How bout yours? 

Oh, don't forget to enter your coupon codes for 10%, 15%, and 20% off your Etsy pattern purchases from me...you just enter "SAVE10", SAVE15" or "SAVE20" at checkout to get those discounts for minimum purchases of $15, $25, and $40, respectively.

Ravelry Store and New Jam Packed Mini Treasury of Crochet Patterns

Still fussing over summery patterns, I can't get stuff out of my head fast enough!! And my easel is calling to me, too, what shall become of me??

Anyhoo, am almost done with a summer thread crochet granny style baby hat with a  brim, it's so heavy and cool and non-fuzzy, I love it! I've got to finish writing the pattern and designing the flower and bow that go with it, but should be done in a day or two.

IN THE MEANTIME....I've put together a Kindle friendly (i.e. small format page) 4 Chapter Mini Treasury of my most popular patterns for Ravelry fans...and it's only $9.99!

 It has a chapter with 13 different animal appliques worked in crochet thread , a chapter with 9 baby hats in at least two to three sizes each (they vary), a chapter with four scarfettes and a daisy garland pattern set, and a chapter of summery crocheted jewelry, both simple and more detailed.

You can find it on Ravelry here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/susans-mini-treasury-of-crochet-patterns

An Earth Day bag, awwww!

click here for this pattern

Am going to have to brush up on Tunisian crochet, but loved the darling bag. I'm looking at my huge piles of tangled yarn, offered my daughter a dollar a skein to wind up all of them into balls. Not one big huge ball, but one per skein. hah! I need to make a big wall hanging out of all of my odds and ends, I think it would be a really cool thing. I'll make sure I show you if I do.

"Susan's Small Project Treasury of Crochet Patterns"

Above are the skeins that are shuffling along after me, trying to trip me up and get me to use them!! I'm so sick I dream up crochet patterns while I'm driving or am in church! That is just ...pitiful, and evidence of a very sad fantasy life: BUT I'M NUTS OVER THIS STUFF!! I can't stop crocheting, I go on jags like this, and there aren't any drugs involved. You guys who have got it bad like me know what I'm talking about.

Coming up soon are some irresistible designs, baby items, travel items, and beach items.  I've just got to get them out of my head, through a crochet hook and down on paper.

My New Paperback Coming Soon!

My paperback crochet collection: https://www.createspace.com/3509283You simply have to try createspace, I can't believe that POD publishing really could be so easy. Hope when the project's finally live I can sell a few copies! What an absolute blast. All you do is upload a pdf (make sure you choose the right page size and make the gutter on the left and mirrored margins....and wow, when they send you your proof, you'll be shocked by how CHEAP and SUPER looking it is. I sound like an ad for createspace...but  it's the POD of Amazon, so I think it's got a lot going for it. Kindle, now, is quite a formatting problem. Will have to save that for my Great American Novel, hah!
