Come 2010, there will be a whole new reason to look forward to each new day… With the Crochet-a-Day calendar! Yes, this fun page-per-day timetable has been around for a few years already, in addition to its sister Knit-a-Day calendar, but this next year’s edition is especially worth checking out. Packed with a couple hundred creative new designs that are sure to get you inspired every morning when you flip the page, this one will also include a certain pattern that has some additional significance to me…
On May 19, 2010, my Basic Birds, the very first crochet pattern I ever wrote, will be featured!
Having been translated into over a dozen different languages and used to create a couple hundred little birds, I could have never imagined that this simple project would have become such a sensation. An easy first amigurumi for newbies, or quick diversion for the more advanced, the fun part is how easy it is to make your own. Each little face is slightly different, the shape of the body unique to the hands that made it. So, how will yours be different, intentionally adapted or not? If you don’t want to wait for the calender, and all of the other fun patterns that come with it, the free pattern is right where it’s always been.
