trebles and half treble crochet stitches

Yes, it has been an exciting week here at Curious and Crafty Readers..*

Rachel at Crochet Spot published an article about the htr (half treble crochet) stitch, which is used in several flower and leaf patterns in Crochet Bouquet.

Thank you to Rachel for her wonderful guest writer program!

Flores de Ganchillo, the Spanish translation of Crochet Bouquet

Last year I found out that the Spanish language rights to Crochet Bouquet had been bought, but I knew nothing more about it until this week. Marta, a friend on Ravelry, told me that she bought the Spanish edition of Crochet Bouquet. She embellished a lovely scarf with one of the flowers from the book.

Luckily the Spanish title had two Os, which were represented by flowers, just like in the American edition. Muy bien!
