Another "You Rock" Blog Feature

          This Month's Feature "You Rock" blog post

"You Rock" blog posts are featured posts of recognition of "fantastic" blogs that I have visited and enjoyed reading. Some are about crochet; some are just plain funny; some are really interesting; and some are about the author's adventures.

I got the idea from "Simplfy" she had decided to post about other blogs she enjoyed visiting instead of issuing out Awards...and I thought how great of an idea this was!!! I mean I am always hopping all over to visit blogs and looking for cool new ones [does anyone say "cool" anymore????] and so I thought that this would be so nice to "spread the news" about blogs I have found to my followers. 

I think that there are tons of blogs out there that deserve recognition and more traffic. Many never get visited that often, because they are just not known by us bloggers. I hope by featuring "You Rock" blog posts it will promote more "online" friends to connect with; and for you to learn and visit with some very interesting and talented bloggers. 

So let's read about this month's "You Rock" blog! And after you read this feature be sure to hop over and visit with them. But, don't forget to let them know you heard about their blog over at Crochetoholic's "You Rock" blog feature!

 

  This month's blog feature I am going to share with you 

Maggie's Crochet

Meet Maggie

Be sure to read more about Maggie here

She has been crocheting over 40 years and has been a designer for around 30 years. Her videos are wonderful. Following her video I made the Starbella Ruffled Scarf an easy project for me and I just had to watch it one time to understand how to complete this easy scarf. I like her clear easy to follow directions and she has very bright and close up views of the 

steps on all her  projects.

One of my favorite places to check out new patterns is Maggie's crochet. She always has a huge array of unique, easy to follow patterns that are whimsical in style, like I love, and sometimes a vintage look as this beautiful Hooded Cape above.

Snood Finger less Gloves and Turkeys

the turtle

the side view

on me

I tried to get it from the side

too funny check out my eyes I am trying to see it in the mirror to snap the shot

got hubby to snap it from the back

I decided to keep this snood for me and make another for my niece. I added a ribbon and a turtle pin I never wore from my jewelry box. I think it really enhances it. 

I made several finger less gloves and cannot decide which embellishment to use??? The one button the rust colored one is a vintage button, the other is a kitty face, then I have the butterfly one, hmmm decisions. which one do you think looks best???

I like it on

I made this turkey last  year.

I am making Christmas gifts daily, with not a lot of $$$$ this year most of my family & friends will get homemade items..I am picking out things to make just right for each person. The white and black yarn will be my next pair of gloves. This time in wool and fun fur yarn.
