After dilly-dallying for a long time, I finally got around to submitting my application for professional status to the Crochet Guild of America back in July. I figured if I was going to be the luncheon speaker on Professional Development Day, it might be a good thing if I were actually a CGOA Professional. I was very pleased to hear the other day that my application was approved! I am so excited,

I have FINALLY been able to record Episode 3 of Crochet Unraveled, after a very long absence from the airwaves! First, I was totally swamped over the summer managing the Crochetville auction. Then, I had a bad cold toward the end of summer as the auction was ending that left me with a bad case of bronchitis. Which meant that I couldn't talk for long periods of time without sounding like this:

Good News: The migration to the new server is complete, and the site is up and running on that new server.Bad News: We have to wait for the internet to repopulate itself with the new addresses for our domain name servers. Due to the way our nameservers are identified, our old site host may need to delete our old account before members will be directed to the new site. We are awaiting confirmation

Crochetville will be going down in the next 20 minutes so we can migrate the forum to our new site host. We'll have the site up and running again just as quickly as we can. It may take about 24-48 hours to get everything switched and working.If we run into any unanticipated glitches that will delay things further than that, we'll be sure to post the information here.And if you need to get hold of

Here are some more Fat Bottom Bags from Stitch 'n' Bitch: Happy Hooker.The first bag is made from Bernat Softee Chunky in black. The lining fabric is a chicken print. My dh thinks one of the animated chickens in the movie Chicken Run looks like one of my sisters: the chicken who says, "I don't want to be a pie!" This is a long-standing family joke, so Kathy got the chicken lining!The second bag

I finally got around to making the Fat Bottom Bag from Debbie Stoller's book Stitch 'n' Bitch: The Happy Hooker. I made this in preparation for our upcoming beach trip in June.I made some modifications to it. I created a lining with a central divider, creating two large pockets. Then I put small pockets on each outer lining edge: a single pocket on one side and a double on the other for my PDA

It looks as if the Crochetville servers are down for some reason, as are the separate servers of our site host. I've sent an email to their support staff to see what is going on.But if they're having some major problem or an outage due to weather conditions in the area, it may be awhile before I hear back.So if you can't log on, don't panic! The 'Ville hasn't gone anywhere for good, and I'm sure

I apologize to all for the distinct lack of posting lately. I've been spending most of my free time either working on all sorts of exciting behind-the-scenes plans for Crochetville or frantically knitting 6 pairs of socks that I gave as Christmas gifts (plus a clownfish for dh). I'll be posting pics of those sometime between now and the end of the weekend, as soon as I get it all downloaded from
