Welcome to my Kweendom! I am honored to be a part of designer Karen McKenna's blog tour featuring her brand new book. Elegant Fashionable & Chic Accessories.

Following is my review of Karen's book and I know you will enjoy crocheting each and every elegant accessory not only for gifts as holiday season approaches but also as a treat to yourself! Speaking of treats, Karen is giving away an autographed copy of her book along with one skein of Cascade Casablanca yarn! Will you be the lucky winner? Read the details of how you can enter to win.

Accessories are among the most relaxing and fun crochet projects to make because they are usually finished in a short time, and one can never have too many accessories! Following patterns for these projects is also a fabulous way to practice and improve your crocheting skills.

Karen McKenna's new book, published by Annie's, is an excellent collection of fashion-forward designs. The cheery cover with a gorgeous model decked out in a delicious shade of red invites one inside, already enthusiastic to make each and every design in the collection.

Within the booklet, you'll find accessory patterns, for both men and women, which are cleverly inspired by the many regions of the United States such as the Pacific Northwest and the Desert Southwest. In partnership with Cascade Yarns, every set is made using their fingering-, sport- and worsted-weight yarns.

This lovely book will keep you busy all through the winter as you crochet your way through each and every fantastic design. Elegant, Fashionable, Chic Accessories to Crochet is available at retail stores and at AnniesCatalog and retails for $9.95.

Craft vs. Fine Art: How is Crochet Blurring the Lines

I was awakening to the world of crochet in 1972,a time of immense artistic expression through fiber arts; and crochet was not the “ugly stepchild” at the time. In fact, Ferne Cone Gellar who I admire as a successful fiber artist said in “Knitting: The Stepchild of the Fiber Arts?” ( Fibercraft Newsletter 1978), “Has knitting been slighted among the areas of the fiber arts? The very word ‘knitting’ evokes images of the little old lady in tennis shoes. Over the years, I’ve learned to ignore all those jokes.” Cone Gellar went on to publish Crazy Crocheting in 1981 and encouraged her readers to create more than bedspreads, providing ideas such as “things to play with or to display on a shelf or hang on a wall.” A photo of single crochet from bread wrappers served as inspiration. In 1972 in her book, Creating Art from Fibers & Fabrics , Dona Meilach wrote: “Why are fibers and fabrics becoming increasingly appealing to artists? Most artists ag...

Wartime Crochet With Attitude, Part I

Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Karen Ballard and I have a mutual love of free form crochet. We met for the first time in a class taught by Prudence Mapstone of Australia at the Chain Link Crochet Conference 2011. I admire Karen's vast knowledge of needle work history and am grateful for her willingness to share with us as my guest blogger this week. Karen wearing a World War II-era knitting hat with stubby needles on top Karen's Heritage Heart, with flowers symbolic of her heritage, is currently on tour with Prudence Mapstone's traveling "Hearts & Flowers Exhibition" in Australia and New Zealand World War 1 Attitudes About Crochet by Karen Ballard In 2008, I coined that term, "Workbasket Campaigns" to describe the organized efforts during World War I (WWI) and World War II (WWII) coordinated through the American Red Cross {ARC} and the Navy League to create needle crafted items. These items were mostly knitted but also sewn, qu...

Crochet and Society: How Crochet has Contributed

Wednesday, September 4, 2013 Because I am passionate about crochet and because it plays such an important role in my life. I am constantly “thinking crochet.” I want to bring awareness about crochet to everyone in the world. They don’t necessarily need to achieve the level of passion that I have for the craft, but my dream is that our society in general would come to recognize crochet as a valuable art and craft. I also want to see the entire genre of crochet planted firmly on a continuum with all the other needle arts as a valuable pastime and art, and for the day to come when society stops confusing it with knitting! I have often joked that I am “covering my world in crochet” and that’s because I think crochet can beautify nature as well as contribute to many aspects of my community. I have been covering rocks for years and I turn them into sculptures or decorative o bjects. Claire Zeisler: Fragments & Dashes , Threads magazine, Oct/Nov 1985 My fi...
