Welcome to the BellaOnline Crochet newsletter 2nd February 2007.

New on the site!  This week you will find a two part interview with Annie Modesitt, designer, writer and teacher – many of you will know Annie both from her designs and also as the editor of the Crochet Pattern a Day calendars.  The interview can be found here


In time for Valentines Day you will also find a quick and easy design for a crocheted heart which has lots of applications!  This can be found here  


We’ve started looking at some different crochet stitches and how they might be used.  Instructions for ‘Crazy Stitch’ have been written and published on the site.  This is a traditional stitch which is referred to in many antique and vintage patterns which, however, still looks good today.  Instructions for Crazy Stitch can be found here


Amongst the recent posts in the forum are the beginnings of a conversation about dying with Kool-Aid and having a ‘dye a long'!  A great way to dye up some of those odds and ends of wool, perhaps with a freeform crochet pattern in mind.  If you are interested in joining in, pop into the forum and let me know!   The crochet forum can be found here.


Please pass this newsletter on to anyone who you feel might be interested and if you have any comments or suggestions do not hesitate to let me know!
