Sites I Visit

I wanted to yack about the links I put on here and tell you why I like them. I'll just go down the list!

Blogs

• What Not To Crochet Is a site I ran into while browsing other crochet blogs. It brings together patterns that are so nauseating to look at or... just... UGH, but of course, very entertaining.
• Coffee Crochet My two FAVORITE things. Witty entries and great patterns. Pull up a seat and grab a cup.
• Crochet by the Hook A wonderful designer named Dot. I've been watching this blog for quite some time. Awsome patterns: Hats, Scarves, Ponchos, and much more.
• Good Hooking Another blog I found while browsing (which I do quite a bit).
• Karen's Knitting and Crochet Parlor She has GREAT TASTE!
• Gadgetfreaks Park OK OK OK, I have another fetish... Gadgets. I spend a small fortune on batteries every year. My kids? Yes, they have lots of gadgets too. I have a $300 Dell Axim X5, a very expensive calculator. I love it. My cell phone for instance, camera, calendar, e-mail, web, calculator, I.M. What do I use it for? To talk to people. period. Do I want the new phone that does it all? OF COURSE! It has a camera, keyboard, walkie talkie, calculator... what would I do with it? Talk to people. (does everything have a calculator?)

Other sites I visit

• Annies Attic I visit this site AT LEAST once a day, sometimes more. Ever since they updated their site, I have to see what the pattern of the day is, do the poll and read the blog. Most of my crochet supplies and patterns have probably come from Annies Attic.
• Crochet Pattern Central The First place I look when looking for something specific. A HUGE collection of free patterns nicely organized into easy to find catagories. If you haven't seen this site... GO THERE NOW!
• Crochet Me and For the Love of Yarn Online magazines with patterns, tips, articles, and classified ads.
• Berocco The patterns are WOW. Check out the funky 70's colors shrug I made. And where can you buy Berocco yarn?
• at Yarn Market of course.
• WOOT!!! What can I say about Woot? One thing a day, $5 s & h. Remember my gadget fettish? I try to get here right when the new product is starting, wouldn't want to miss out because when it's gone... it's gone.
• USGS Recent Earthquake Activity What is USGS you say? United States Geological Survey. You may have seen that I am going for a batchelors in geology. Yes... Rocks. I love rocks. As one professor proclaims, "they have feelings too." I've been almost a Junior at ISU for quite a while. I WILL return and finish. Food first.
• Pogo Games... what else is there to say... LOTS AND LOTS of games.
• Apogee Design Inc. This is what my husband is doing. He graduated with an engineering degree in computer science and instead of working for somebody else, is giving this a go. EVERYBODY WISH HIM LOTS O'LUCK.
• Silver Jewelry Club You know those crackpot get stuff for free sites? This really is legit. Well, $5.99 s & h and you get yourself a very cool... piece of silver jewelry. They have 4 item online at a time and it revolves in and out throughout the day so check back often.
• Think Geek Stuff for the smart masses! hehe, lots of gadgets, caffeine, funny shirts (everybody loves funny shirts).

And last but not least

• Joann Fabric and Craft Another craft store, but I tend to just visit their store we have in town. Good sales.

That's that. Most of my favorite places on the big w.w.w. These are mostly the reason I don't get more crocheting done.
