One of my all time favorite online places for crochet resources is Ravelry.com. If you haven't visited this site and you are a crocheter or knitter...do it right now! You will fall down the rabbit hole of free patterns and amazing resources. But it's okay. You will be better for the adventure.


I've been a "raveler" since November 2011 and I can't tell you how many times I've gone to this awesome website for inspiration, desperate gift ideas and all kinds of patterns for all kinds of things. I love that I can type in a keyword or two and the powerful search tool in Ravelry comes back with all kinds of options.

My designer profile page makes it easy for fans and followers to find my stuff. It's also a great resource for me, since sometimes I need to go back to a pattern I created. I also really like that I can sell patterns via Ravelry's paid pattern store option. The interface is easy to use and if you are interested in making money from your pattern designs it's definitely worth checking out.

That's about all I've got time for today. I've got to get some serious laundry done, check on why my boys' are so quiet in their rooms, and get a bit of lesson planning done for school next week. As always, I'm delighted to bring you crochet inspiration and a bit of fun too! #rockthehook #crochetrochelle

Oh My Gosh, It's March

Carson, the Yarn Butler

Hey Crochet Rockers!

I can't believe I got so caught up in life and other things that I let the entire month of February go by without a single post. Ah! What sort of crochet rocker does that make me? Not much of one I'm afraid. Oh well. Better luck this month? (Maybe I can tap into some Irish luck.)

I have been busy making, designing, working and raising little boys - I'm just saying. While I was doing that, Mr. Awesome (aka: my husband) was getting his welding certification at work and asking to make me "stuff" at home.

Although I had a few other "honey-do's" in mind, he totally surprised me with this thing-a-ma-jig in February. What in the world is it? I am calling it the Yarn Butler and I have nicknamed it Carson (after Mr. Carson, butler on Downton Abbey - my current favorite addiction).

Mr. Awesome is very proud of his creation. So proud of it that he keeps asking when am I going to feature it on my blog. Part of me wanted to respond: "Hey, it's my blog. Go get your own bloggy-blog and feature your mad welding creations there."

But then I remember how often he cleans up after our boys and I decided silence is golden...or something like that. Mr. Awesome is also looking for feedback. Would you ever use something like this? How about the design? Size? Portability?

Here's another view of the splendid Carson, Yarn Butler extraordinaire.

That's all for now. I'll get back in to the swing of blogging shortly. I've got some new patterns to share and quick references to put up too.
