Hello everyone and welcome to Cafe Crochet! Whether you knit or crochet (or do both, as I do) you are equally welcome here! Make yourself a nice cup of coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate if you prefer) pull up a chair and stay awhile! Occasionally I'll be featuring indie fiber artists in my "You've Been Spotted" Spotlight. Feel free to contact me if you know of someone that deserves some recognition! You can find my past "Spots" in the sidebar to your left. Audience participation is encouraged and all feedback is welcome! I look forward to getting to know you!

But let us not forget why we can celebrate this day!

What inspires you to knit and/or crochet?

Do you ever get stuck while you're knitting? Or perhaps you have wondered how designers come up with so many unique and wonderful ideas for their knitting? Michele Rose Orne, a long-time knitwear designer, takes us on a journey through creativity, inspiration, and the birth and development of design from idea to garment in her new book, "Inspired to Knit". Follow the link below to read an excerpt and/or to order the book!

You can also Join the Inspired to Knit KnitAlong and Mood Board Project!
(join a creative bunch of folks working on a Mood Board Project inspired by Michele's book)

We want to know what inspires your knitting! Leave a comment here and share your inspiration with all of us!
