"Hi, We are Kris and Lorin. We are sisters that love to design crochet patterns. We went looking for a few designs one day and couldn't find them anywhere, so we thought it would be fun to design a few and see if someone else was looking for them too. To our surprise people liked them! Hip Hip Hooray! We hope you like them too. :o) "</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"My name is Tara Murray...the Alaskan, the mother, the teacher, the
wife, the crocheter, the sugar lover.....I'm terrible at writing bios so
I'll try and cut the fat and just say...I stumbled upon my love for
designing 4 years ago. I eventually decided to name my shop, Mamachee
which is the wrong spelling of the German song Mamatschi sang by
Heintje. My mom used to play a lot of German music when I was growing up
and I loved this song. I've really enjoyed designing and don't plan on
stopping. Crocheting rocks...knitting rocks too....but crocheting might
be better." </div>

Our third and final sponsor is Lisa from Holland Designs<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I first learned to crochet at age 5 and it has been my favorite hobby now for the past 30 years. I began to design “officially” in my early 20s when I had a few afghan patterns published in various crochet magazines. Holland Designs began in July, 2008, soon after the birth of my 1st daughter, Holland. She and her 2 little sisters, Madison & Adelaide, inspire and model many of my designs. I take most of my own photos and have really discovered a love of “crochet photography”."</div>

<br />
When
I think 'classic hat', I think 'driver's cap'. Sure, they're in style
now, but the driver's cap has been around for centuries. The resurgence
of its popularity made me think, 'how can I <i>crochet </i>a driver's
cap'? True, there are many crochet patterns on the market for this very
thing, but I wanted something different. Something that stays true to
the shaping and attributes of its sewn counterpart, while incorporating
crochet methods.<br />
<br />
Well, after months (and months) of
playing around with the idea, crocheting, then frogging and restarting,
to nearly strangling myself in the mass of tweed yarn, I have finally
published my driver's cap pattern! I am so thrilled with how it turned
out and it's super simple to make. <br />
<br />
Here are some sewn Driver's Caps (Aka Flat Caps, Golf Caps, Scally Caps):<br />

I thought it would be fun to do a Crochet-Along, and since Father's Day is coming up, why not make Scally Cap's for the men in our lives while competing for a prize; 3 crochet patterns! I've never ran a Crochet-Along before, but there's a first time for everything! </div>

The Crochet-Along will run from Thursday May 31st, to Friday June 15th. During this period, you can create, embellish and photograph your creation(s). Post the photo of your Scally Cap to my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Injenuity/217333238277623">Facebook Page</a>. On the 16th I will select the top Entries. I'll be judging based on Creativity, Quality, Presentation and your photo's Popularity. (You don't have to be a photographer, but make sure that your photo showcases your hat's beauty). I'd also love to see matching accessories! On June 16th, once I pick the top 3 entries, we'll go into the voting stage. Details on that when we near the 16th. And, the winner will receive 3 crochet patterns from my collection!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we begin, you'll need the Seamus Scally Cap Pattern which can be found here: <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/Accessory/Seamus-Scally-Cap-Child-Sizes/16580">Child Sizes</a>. <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/Accessory/Seamus-Scally-Cap-Adult-Sizes/17182">Adult Sizes</a>. You can use the Adult pattern, the Child pattern, or both (the only condition is you'll need to showcase both hats in the same photo). </div>

If you love/like/want-to-learn-how to crochet, then you're in the right place. This is my new blog, "Crochet Speak". I'm a crochet designer who wants to "teach the language" of crochet. From the most basic of stitches to the most complex. Whether you've crocheted my designs or haven't, you are more than welcome here!</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Photo and Video tutorials are forthcoming. For now, here's my first video "The Adjustable Ring Method". If you have crocheted any of my hat designs, you are aware that I use this technique in most of those patterns. I recommend it 100% for a beautiful start to any project worked in the round. Check it out:</div>
