Introducing “Dear ELK Studio” – A Crocheting Column
Dear ELK Studio… A Crochet Column like Dear Abby! You won’t want to miss this!!
ELK Studio - Handcrafted Crochet Designs
When I was a kid one of my favorite pass times was to read Dear Abby. Dear Abby was a daily column in the local newspapers and was always filled with juicy answers. (You can still find the column on-line). People would write to her asking for advice about all types of issues such as relationship, family or even love questions. I LOVED reading all her responses because they were short, sweet and to the point. It was all in fun anyway, but I’m sure some people took her answers very seriously.
Well, I’ve thought for a while what I could do to give back to all of you that take the time to come over to my blog. Why not do something like Dear Abby but call it Dear ELK Studio? I’m part of a few groups, as well as have one of my own, and someone is…

Quack quack babies
Yeah! New Pattern from Vanja! and of course I love it 🙂 and so do my Littles!! Thanks Vanja 🙂 Hugs, Rhondda
Last year I have introduced Quack Quack parents. Hope you still remember them. They were accepted very well and have seen many of them done for the past few months.
One of the nice blog followers who is with me since the first day I started here is dear friend Amanda Turner. She came up with completely new pattern using the Quack one I made. She made duckling and drake first, but then was missing the baby. In order to do that she cut the original pattern in half; rows, stitches….and came up with baby duckling. Miniature, miniature duckling to make and add to duckling family.
Amanda sent me the pattern to try out and I was thrilled the way duckling was coming out. First one I made was with 5 ply cotton yarn and 2 mm hook and it ended up not bigger than 6 cm (2 1⁄2″)…

If I Died Tomorrow… This is What I Would Want You To Remember of Me!
Very eloquently said –
I get discouraging emails from people who cross compare their lives, their skills and make assumptions based on what others have achieved or have ‘perceived’ to have achieved.
Though society claims to be community oriented and for the betterment of human kind, truth is this… and some of you will jump up and say Halleluiah and others will be in strong self denial. We as a human race are conditioned to be competitive and selfish. This my friends is what leads many of us, including me, into depressive states of mind and much more.

LISTEN MY CROCHETER FRIENDS
If I died tomorrow, please remember…
