If you’re within 50 miles of north Dallas, jump in your car and come on over to the DFW FiberFest at the Addison Convention Center (in the background, behind these cute fish sculptures). This is the first DFW FiberFest ever; the next FiberFest is already planned...

Back to Workshop Samples

by Suzann Thompson | Jan 24, 2006 | Knitting, Retro Blog Post, TextileFusion, Workshops

It’s time again to make workshop samples. I enjoy working on samples and swatches to illustrate the concepts I introduce in my workshops. They’re mostly small and quicker to finish than most other projects. Some readers may remember the underwater scene I...

Starting at lower left, here’s the Twinkle Star Be Starting at lower left, here’s the Twinkle Star Bedspread motif. It’s my overall favorite, because it’s pretty, the crochet pattern is relatively straightforward, and I love the name ✨Twinkle Star✨.🥰

Moving clockwise from there: Whirligig Wheel, Fantasy Medallion, and Pilot Wheel motif. 

They’re all pinned out and ready for spray starch!

Find instructions to crochet these bedspread and tablecloth motifs in 150 Favorite Crochet Designs, Ed. Mary Carolyn Waldrep (Dover), and from online sources.

Our Black Hawthorn has haws! I haven’t seen this m Our Black Hawthorn has haws! I haven’t seen this many on one tree, ever. Apparently, we could make jelly with these berries, but we have to remove the numerous seeds first. Like apples, haw seeds contain cyanide compounds. I think I will just enjoy looking at them. 
Swipe to see this tree’s flowers from earlier this year (April 23).

That's the title of a mid-20th century radio series playing from time to time on SiriusXM Classic Radio. What does that have to with argyle socks?

Most of us who grew up in the US have pledged our Most of us who grew up in the US have pledged our allegiance to the flag of the United States of America hundreds of times. We pledge our allegiance to the flag of a nation with liberty and justice for all.

That means liberty and justice are not exclusively for the people we like best, but for everybody else in the United States as well.

So let’s honor our pledge by voting for candidates who will protect liberty and justice for all, because we have pledged our allegiance to that concept over and over again.

All means all.
