I woke this morning to my husband bringing in a box from the outside. I wasn't sure what it was, since I hadn't ordered anything recently. Well, I opened it up to find my copy of the 2009 Crochet Pattern-a-Day Calendar! If you decide to pick one up (the link is to the left), please check out the pattern on January 20th to see my scrunchie pattern. It is a very simple pattern and is a great way to use up those little bits of yarn left over from your bigger projects that you hate to throw away! I make these for my nieces all the time and they just love them! If you make a few, I would love to hear from you!

There are always great patterns in this calendar and I look forward to turning the page each day to see what great projects are available to make! I've been getting this calendar for years and always look for it when it comes out in the fall. Accord also makes great page-a-day calendars for knitting, beading, quilting and other crafts.
