Crocheter’s Block
We’ve all experienced writer’s block, myself included, at one time or another. But, crocheter’s block? Well, I’m currently experiencing this creative affliction! Help! I do have tons of ideas about future designs and patterns, but nothing that stands out to me at the moment. Do YOU, dear readers, have ideas? Crochet items you’ve only dreamed of? A pig with wings? Rainbow-colored gumballs? A smiling light bulb? Let me know in the comments or by email: aliciakachmar@gmail.com
In other news, check out my vegan chocolate cake recipe on Instructables! I wrote about it here once upon a time, but decided to enter it in their cake contest. Vote for me?

Well, I haven’t been crocheting lately either, but that’s because I have to move next Tuesday and all my yarn and hooks are packed! It’s a very stressful time and I haven’t any therapy! I wish I was blocked, but my fingers are itching.
So, here’s some dopey suggestions:
How about a bowl of cheerios? A jello mold? I love crocheted food. But maybe the moving theme would be more helpful? Cardboard boxes are boring, how about bubble wrap? A life sized hand truck?
Not very helpful. Sorry.

A Crochet piece of poop…With a fly on it. do you have that one yet? Funny you wrote this post… My friend this weekend told me about a crochet poop with a fly on it and I am totally envious of her purchase. I would love a corchet poop. I think you are such a crochet maven that you should write a guide on guidespot.com about crochet in the city… Now that is a clever idea, no blockage there! Ok, if you make the poop let me know, I want one!
BTW, guidespot.com has sexy hot crocheted men…. made that up, but go there anyway! (sorry, I had to do it!)

clearly, if there are deviled eggs, there should be angeled eggs too!

Also, have you considered doing crocheted cocktails? clearly glasses with stems would be problematic, but I can imagine some possibilities for crocheted cocktails with pipecleaner umbrellas or something.

for somethig really random, what about a crochted sock monkey? (or have you dome that already??…) …anyway, what if you made something really simple that you could make a lot of in differnt colors/ patterns? i’ve done that with the gabu pattern at http://www.roxycraft.com, and they all look really cool toghter.
