Plus-Size Knitting, Crochet and Sewing Patterns Found and Reviewed

What happened, where am I?

May29

Hello all! I can’t believe how many wonderful comments I still get on this site, even though I haven’t updated it in forever! This tells me that the world still needs a site like this.

For the past few years I stopped updating because, well, something in my life had to give. With working full-time, a pre-schooler, and a husband going to graduate school at night while working full-time, my blogging was the first to go.

I have good news and bad news (well, all good news really!) I won’t be working full-time anymore because I’m expecting twins girls in June! I’ll be home more and look forward to getting my crafty groove on once I’m not a new mommy zombie.

I’m excited to see that almost every crochet and knitting magazine that I pick up contains plus-size patterns now, and with the introduction of http://www.ravelry.com, you can quickly connect with an excellent community of knitters and crocheters. We just need a similar site for sewing patterns now! If you know of one, fill me in!

Stay tuned, I would love to add a forum to this site that would allow you to help each other, even when I’m not around. But have some patience - I’m probably not going to be getting much sleep for the next six months. :)

While I’m feeding babies, why don’t you post some of your favorite web sites, patterns, forums, etc. for plus-size crafting? I’ll swing by and approve the comments as often as possible. (I screen the comments so that you don’t have to put up with the spam.)

Take care,
Jen
