If you didn't know that the CLF is a group of almost 3450 people world wide, and run by lil' ol me, and some very trusted helpers on Ravelry..well, now ya do!
We are crochet enthusiasts all, but we are more than that! We are 3450 people with skills, talents, ideas, beliefs, and lives that have more than fiber in them!
Part of my goal with the CLF is to help us grow together as people, with respect to our humanity, and hopefully find a way for those who wish to improve their own skills, and economic models to do so!
It's a big experiment that flows and grows almost as it's own organism, with a life of it's own. Like individual cells in the body, each CLF member adds a vital and important part to the "body" as a whole...
One of the things all organisms require is food/energy. This kind of organization's food is money and time. You have given your time and talent, and many of you have purchased the CLF First Ever Book! Which is bringing in the needed money to help Fearless Leader travel to parts known and unknown to see you and to do more!
Please if you haven't bought your copy yet it's available on our CLF Official Website! or as a PDF Download on my LULU.com store. I have other patterns there, too, need to remember to write a few more to add to the collection!
In the meantime, I'm plodding away on "Crochet in Chains" our second book, 6 patterns are completed in layout and have been sent out for proofing! WHOOT A few more to go!
ABOUT THE CLF
- Laurie Wheeler
- Everywhere, No where
- I started the CLF as a joke on Ravelry, back in July of 2007. The joke was on me, we're a real group, that seeks to liberate ourselves from stereo types about our craft and ourselves. Other than being called "Fearless Leader", I'm a designer, mother, editor, wife, hand spinner, yarn addict, incessant reader, and over all geek in the coolest of geeky ways.
Beware Defamers of the Hook!
Like Joan of Arc, and the Scarlet Pimpernel we are here to seek Justice!
