I received a copy of Tamara Kelly's new book for review - and I'm here to tell you all about it. These opinions are, as always, my own! Stick around: I have 1 book to give to 1 reader =)
If you crochet, you're familiar with Moogly, or with Tamara, the person behind that name. If you are entirely new to crochet, go bookmark the website. Now. I'll wait. Moogly is a great resource for crocheters of all levels. Tamara offers stitch tutorials, patterns, roundups, inspiration, etc; she is an excellent crochet teacher & designer, and I'm really happy to get to share the news of her all new book with you. =)

I absolutely *NEED* the Smart as a Fox bookends in my life. When you're done making your own house cozy with these crocheted items, you'll want to do the same to your friends' homes.

My family room would be the first one I would work on. That is the room where we spend most of our time and where I love to display items I’ve made by hand, with love. It makes the room feel more comfortable.
Would start with bedroom, as that tends to get the least attention – at least for crocheted items. And really could use a bed scarf for my bed to help keep the piggy toes warm in the winter months.
I would decorate my living area first!
Hi Julie!
I think the room in my house is like to crochet for first would be the guest bathroom! It’s quite large compared to my master bathroom so I have a lot of room to fill and work with. Thanks!
I would say my bathroom or kitchen first. :)
