2012 has been such an enjoyable hooky year for sure. I had the pleasure of working on a Big Project (my ripple blanket) for much of the year, but interspersing it with many small, decorative projects kept my creativity alive and kicking.
Thank you as always for all your hooky love throughout 2012. I've LOVED seeing so much gorgeous crochet happening all over the world, the sharing and inspiring that happens through the www is absolutely amazing. There are currently three Flickr Groups for Attic24 inspired crochet ::
Attic24 Inspired, Attic24 Granny Stripes, and Attic24/Little Tin Bird Ripple-along.
Also, in case you didn't already know, there is an inspiring and thriving Attic24 group on Ravelry, with over 6000 members. There have been some fantastic discussions and sharing of projects on there this year, it's an absolute gem of inspiration and information.
And lastly, at the beginning of December, I finally took the plunge and created an Attic24 Facebook page. It's lots of fun keeping in touch with you all....here's to a wonderful and woolly 2013!
