Crochet Book Giveaway!!

Well...I've been getting alot of  "I'd love to help you out but I don't know how to crochet."

No More Excuses!!!!

I just bought this book - Crochet Basics..All You Need to Know to Get Hooked on Crochet - and I am giving it away to some lucky person.

Stay tuned for details!

I want everyone to experience the joy of not only making something with your very own little hands but also the joy of sharing that gift with others!

Here's today's hat!

I found this free pattern here

It's called the Woman Granny Hat. If you can do a granny square you can make this hat.

Good Luck!

Striped Beanie

 

Here's a little something I whipped up this morning.

 A printable pattern for this hat is available here. 

My pattern is slightly modified because I only added one sc row as a border.

 

This is a beginner pattern and I'm sure you can whip one up in no time!

Welcome

Welcome!!!

I am so excited to begin this journey. I am now the Chapter Leader for the New Orleans chapter of Crochet for Cancer. Hooks of Love began as a way of spreading God's love to those in need. Hooks of Love is a group of (yet to be discovered) volunteers creating crochet chemo caps for patients who have lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy treatments. This is the beginning of what will hopefully be a long and rewarding journey.
