Learn How to Dye Yarn
KnitPicks has a good article on how to dye yarn. Master the fundamentals of dyeing. Find your preferred dye type and technique, and get started! They discuss using acid dyes and alternatives.
They also have the perfect yarn and supplies for dyeing yarn.
Crochet
What is the perfect crochet hook? Is it made from metal, plastic, or wood?
In an Interweave Press blog post, Crochet Hook Materials: The Perfect Hook, Toni Rexcoat will answer the above question. The answer may surprise you. She will walk you through the pros and cons of metal, plastic, and wooden hooks.
When I think about crochet, I think about how my mother always had a crochet hook in her hand. She crocheted lots of vests and afghans. I think she would have loved the one below.
Persian Tiles Rose Garden Throw is a new version of Jane Crowfoot’s stunning Persian Tiles design. This crocheted afghan is created by joining motifs for the look of beautiful mosaic tiles. Kit includes Mary Maxim Mellowspun DK yarns and instructions.
