Friends in Love Scarf - Hooker Romance Challenge Winner - Congratulations spiffyspooner!

Voting ended today on our Hooker Romance EtsyHookers Creative Challenge No. 5. For this challenge members were asked to create a crocheted item that best represents the theme of romance, love, and friendship. Each entry was also required to include an additional embellishment such as a ribbon, button, bead, etc.

spiffyspooner’s entry, Friends in Love Scarf, won the hearts of the voters.

From the item description: “This 64" long scarf will warm your neck and your heart. One of the beautiful things about this scarf is that it gives the illusion of being a double scarf; but it is one scarf with two layers. The 5 heart buttons along the side allow the scarf to be buttoned at any point along the scarf so it can be worn in many ways.”

Please take a moment to visit spiffyspooner and see all of the beautiful items she has to offer. From her gorgeous scarves, and amazing afghans, you’ll be sure to find something lovely that you’ll want to make your own.

Congratulations Candace (spiffyspooner) for winning the Hooker Romance Challenge!

I would like to thank Valerie of valeriesgallery for creating this theme. And thank you to all the members who participated and entered - you are all amazingly talented winners! And a very big shout out goes to everyone who took a moment to view the entries and vote for their favorite - thank you for supporting our EtsyHookers team!

Happy Birthday EtsyHookers!

The EtsyHookers Crochet Team is officially 1 year old today, December 1st! Created by Deon, I took over the team in March of this year. Lots of changes have happened on our team since then and I’m happy to say that most of the original members who signed up last December are still with us and active!
To celebrate our Birthday, our Ning network has a brand new look - check it out here:
http://etsyhookers.ning.com

I think most of us, myself included, were tired of the overwhelming pinkness of our original theme we had. This new look is refreshing and will be an easier to read font and color scheme. I created our new banner with the hopes that team members will design something that will look more professional (I've also uploaded the new banner here). We’ll have a contest for a new team banner, and plan some other team events to celebrate.

Thanks so much to a wonderful team! Happy Birthday, and I wish us many more!

Please take a moment to help us celebrate by “signing” this birthday card, by leaving a comment. Thank you.

EtsyHooker of the Week - lauraslefthook

As a special surprise this week Laura of lauraslefthook is our featured


















tsyHooker of the Week!




Her Etsy shop is filled with adorable stuffed letter pillows like the one pictured above, and are available in every letter! These pillows would be a terrific way to decorate a bedroom spelled out with a child’s name. She also has hand puppets like this very cute frog prince.



Her shop also has many other items, like her gorgeous Christmas ornaments, with hand folded papers and a crocheted top, perfect for trimming your tree.



And for some items that would make great stocking stuffers, don’t miss her Tawashi scrubbers and hair accessories.




Nominated by Nora (noradora) and seconded by myself, Laura is a truly dedicated team member who has been an EtsyHooker right from the beginning. Laura is the creator of the EtsyHooker of the Week, which she so kindly posted on her personal blog until our team blog came about. She now manages our team blog, keeping it current and hopping. Thank you very much Laura for all you do for our team, and congratulations on being named the EtsyHooker of the Week!
