Happy Hooker?

Well, I have been called worse.  I am not only addicted to thrift, but crochet as well.  I am of course a hack, but have learned to follow a simple pattern.  I am extemely proud of myself for that accomplisment too.  I started knitting years ago and fell in love and was...yes...completley addicted to it as well.  But, it took me years to get the patience to follow a pattern.  Crochet for some reason seems a little less daunting.

Pinterest has made it super easy to find other fun blogs and crafters and patterns to keep any die hard crafter busy for eternity.  I found the following tutorials on there, and I guess you could say...I'm hooked.

One of the tutorials is for hearts...you can find the pattern at Attic24.  She is simply amazing, and apparently has a black belt in crochet.  Her hearts look a lot more like hearts than mine...but I still adore them.  Apparently I need more practice following a pattern.

  
And then I found this tutorial below for the cutest coasters on earth at Yvestown Blog.  Super easy, and quick...I loves it.

Me likey.  And while I can't make as much money with this kind of hooking...it is much safer...and doesn't require as much hard labor.
If you're a true G you can however make a quality living selling the Flavor Flav knit clock.  Found at HipHopKnitShop on flickr.  Or go see her Etsy store.

While I'm at it, I must show my absolute favorite Hooker of all time.  
Her stuff is so original.  Yokoo  I am in LOVE with her shop, her style, and her hair.  Happy Friday everyone.  I am sooo excited for a 3 day weekend.
