I saw the picture below on Facebook and thought it was very touching so I thought I'd issue all of my fellow crocheters a challenge. Make something warm, like a scarf, hat or gloves/mittens and leave it in a somewhat prominent place in public with a note attached similar to the one in the picture. Knitters and other crafters are invited too! After you do, post a picture to my Facebook page or use the hashtag #hiphipcrochet on Instagram. I'm hoping that you guys will want to participate in this!

Winter is here and Christmas is just around the corner. That means my sales have picked up and for that I'm thankful. I've crocheted so much in the past two weeks and I'm really enjoying it. A friend that I graduated high school with, Facebooked me last week for one of his co-workers and asked if I could make a hat and booties set for a newborn boy. This is what I made for him: As I posted earlier, I have a huge album (but you better act fast, stuff is selling fast!) of Ready to Ship items on my Facebook page . I posted links to the album in some of my local for sale groups on Facebook and with that came a ton of new fans. And from that came some sales. After one very nice lady came by my house to pick up something from the Ready to Ship album, she Facebooked me and asked for 2 horse hats. I had never made a horse hat before but I love the challenge of coming up with something new. So this is what I came up with: Are they not adorable? I think they're m...
