Hello out there! I see in my stats that 897 unique individuals have visited this blog since it’s creation on February 19th (not even 3 weeks ago!) and 60 people have signed up to get the Big Crafty feed in their readers or inboxes. I’m pretty sure I’m not talking to myself anymore. That’s a relief!

It’s time to start a blog roll so I can keep up with you and you can meet some new people. Ready? Here’s what to do:

Leave the following bits of info in the comments to this post or any post this week:

Coming up this week in no particular order:
- Doing a little more research into this duct-tape double thing, plus places to get a plus-size dress form.
- Crochet and knitting magazine pattern updates. Knit Simple magazine actually had 5 plus-size patterns! That doesn’t mean I would wear them, though.
- A report on my weekend sewing pattern stash enhancement expedition.
- Found some more free patterns for Free Friday.
- I’ll also take topic suggestions. On my list for the near future are more posts on re-sizing regular sized patterns.

Thanks for visiting!
Jen

UPDATE
I can legally post screen shots of web sites. Hooray! I’m pretty sure I can also take photos of magazine pages as long as they’re not high-resolution enough for people to read the patterns. Crazy Aunt Purl posts photos of magazines and she has tons of traffic. So mag photos will stay unless I hear otherwise.

One kind reader was nice enough to warn me that posting the pattern pics from the companies might land me in some legal hot water. I thanked her for the heads up and took the photos down for now.

I’ll be thinking of some creative ways to incorporate pattern preview photos. Stay tuned!

But just because I don’t have photos doesn’t meant there still aren’t a lot of things to link to! Lots of resourceful lists of plus-size patterns are on the way.

Take care,
Jen
