Starry Night

Well, that is embarrassing! My blog turned 1 and I have been so busy I did not even post about it. If you dd not know I was not consistent you do now!  Moving right along: HAPPY BIRTHDAY THAT YARN GIRL!

Quickly I want to say thank you to the readers of this blog.  I know it is not the most interesting blog on the web, but I would like to think I am contributing on a small level.  A bigger thanks to those of you who have ordered from That Yarn Girl.  It has helped me stretch my mind and skill!

Let me share something I have learned over the last year-when people find out your crochet they automatically assume you knit.  I have nothing against knitting, but I have absolutely no knitting capabilities whatsoever.  With that comes people assuming you can create the same kind of project, and for the most part I can.


Here is a great example: One of my coworkers was pregnant and had found a cute hat she wanted to use in newborn pics.  She had checked around with her family and friends and found no one who would be able to duplicate the hat.  I did not have the opportunity to attend her baby shower, so I left her gift on her desk.  It was a crocheted sleeper.  She loved it and sent me a picture of the hat she wanted and asked if I would be able to create it.  I looked at the hat and immediately notice it was knitted.  I told her I would do my best and she could decide if she wanted to keep the final product.  Well as you can plainly see, she kept the final product, and used it!  My new model tonight is Ethan.  Thank you, Ethan!!

Needless to say, sometimes I do have the ability to duplicate a knitted item :)
