ABOUT THE CLF

My photo
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.

I was just toot toot tootin' our horn less than three weeks ago for having 800 members? Well, dang, on Ravelry we have at this time (1/23 at 4:36pm PST) 902 members!!!

That's more than a lot of email groups! That's cool.

What's even cooler, we have kept the tone, and flavor of our Rebellion...

The Bobby Awards!

Wow! This is quite cool, some moderators on Ravelry got together and created the first official
"Bobby" Awards for outstanding achievements on Ravelry. From the funniest "Ugh" project to most educational crochet (and the pointy stick folk have a category too)...



The CLF and several of it's members have been honored by being nominated in many categories. I was going through the list and well, it was more than I could handle on dial up to get the whole list of people and categories on it!

I think we should all feel proud that so many CLF'ers are nominated in so many categories!

Don't forget to vote for our group! Both in the Best Name category and in the Banner!

CLF RULZ!
