Dizzy and Crochet Can Go Hand In Hand
Then I turned a few more pages, still minding my own business - I had even stopped feeling dizzy at that point - and what do I find? Another full page ad from Premier Yarns, and in case you didn't notice, that is Deborah Norville snuggling with an afghan that I designed last year! She is obviously not allergic to Chandler or Cleocatra, not there there is ever a cat hair in any of my projects.
And if that weren't enough, flipping quickly to page 48 I found the afghan pattern that I designed called "Chaco Canyon".
This intricate looking pattern is actually quite quick and easy. This issue of Crochet! just hit the newstands so check out when you get a chance.

Congratulations! You deserve it. I got my magazine a couple of days ago and was going to write a little blog about it and your story in Studio. I loved your story and I love your studio. Keep up the good work in the name of crochet!!!! Hugs!

That's awesome! I get dizzy when I open up the Annie's Attic catalog and see a shot of one of my patterns. Glad to know that won't ever go away! Great job, Drew!

Huge congrats on the mentions in the magazine! I love the afghan she is holding.
BTW, I'm really glad to hear I'm not the only one who ends up with an occasional cat hair in the projects.

I'm going to get the magazine later this week. Are those BPDC's (or FPDC's?) in the Chaco Canyon afghan? I think I want to try that afghan in red, white and blue...or a mix of solids and one variegated color..

I know I've got that issue around here somewhere...may just have to switch projects and do that afghan for my mom-in-law!

WOW. I bought this magazine today because of Leisure Arts ad on page 3 and didn't even realize it was your patterns till I took my magazine to work and then looked at it.
