For those of you who would like to make one of the little fast baskets but don't need the entire tutorial , here is the pattern, plain and simple. This is also good to look at after you have completed the tutorial, so you can see what a pattern for in-the-round crochet looks like.

I finally finished the Harajuku-style neckwarmers that I crocheted ages ago and just needed finishing touches. I really like the way they came out, I was thinking about keeping the purple one, but I have all too many scarves and such. I hope someone out there will like it as much as I do. I still need to list the black and white one, but it came out just as well. I'm moving right along down the list of things to do. Next on the list is to carve a stamp from my cupcake logo and make hand-printed tags for my purses. I've been thinking about doing it for a while and I think it's a good idea. I'll look more like a professional that way, and it might even help me get my name out there if my purses have a tag. More on that later.
heyheyhey! so i there is a small shop ONE block from my house and the owner not only makes her own clothes, BUTT she supports other california designers. there are some lovely things there and very hip nonetheless. in any case i thought of you and got her info. she is always looking for other artists to network with and she even has a guide going to help other people know where to find hand made goodies. so COOL. i hope i see you in class so i can pass on the love. otherwise i'll just send it on through here?
