A-Glamping We Will Go: 5th Annual National Crochet Month Blog Tour
Welcome to Crochetville’s fifth annual National Crochet Month (NatCroMo) blog tour, taking place each day of March 2017. Join us for a month of virtual glamping (aka glamorous camping), as we visit crochet designers, crochet-friendly local yarn stores, and yarn companies, as well as offer some fun giveaways.
Today’s Posts: George Shaheen | Yuliya Tkacheva | Amanda Perkins | The Yarn Haven | A to Z Alpacas | Daily Giveaway
Want to Chat about the Tour?
Part of the fun of glamping is the daily round-up around the campfire, chatting and stitching with friends. We hope you’ll join us in our NatCroMo Facebook group, where we’ll be sharing daily camping recipes, campfire songs about crochet, and so much more! We’d also love to hear about your favorite things you’ve discovered on the tour and see photos of your current crochet projects. You’re invited to join us daily for virtual cocktails/appetizers and dinner. (We’ll be sharing links to some fabulous recipes!)

Looks like a great book full of ideas and vibrant color!
I love making crocheted blankets, so this book would be perfect!
Gorgeous colors! I’m always a little intimidated by colors, but it’s fun once I jump in.
I enjoy making crochet blankets, so I think I would like this book…The blankets look beautiful!
This book looks like some beautiful, colorful patterns. So excited that it’s NATCROMO month again!
I love to make crocheted blankets
they’re so pretty!
I love having crochet books on hand for reference and ideas. There is just nothing like having something in your hands for inspiration.
I love all your designs and look forward to making some of them for friends and family.
I’d love a copy of this book to get more ideas for the charity crocheting I do ❤?????
The colors in the blankets draw you in just like a garden!
Amanda Perkins is such an inspirational designer. I love her designs, and already own and cherish ‘Madder triangles’. This afghan book will be used and loved at least equally, if not more
I would love to learn how to use hexagons and triangles in making blankets I am intimidated by colors, so I use very little This book would be helpful in teaching me how to use color in my blankets
I love having options! These are so pretty in lots of color but can see them in neutrals as well.
The book is full of information that I could have used on other projects I have done. Has pattern instructions that I could do in small amounts of time in between other projects. I’m not good at choosing colors so you have already done that for me.
I’d like a copy of this book because I am in the process of crocheting 2
blankets and have requests for two more. Would love more inspirations.
I prefer books in hard copy for my library..
yes, I love to crochet colorful afghans. I try to make at least one afghan (or two) to enter at local fair and frequently drawn to colorful ones. Reading your book may give me ideas for my next project!
Wow! I would love to add this book into my archives! Thanks for the opportunity.
Why? Because those squares & blankets look so beautiful!
I love all of the colors and textures. The book looks interesting.
it looks like a lovely book and i font have but 1 croche book and its for wearable accessories!
would love to win, love to see a bright rainbow blanket.
I have a tendency to collect yarn, as opposed to buying what I need when I decide on a project. I’m always trying to use what I already have by combining different colors & yarn brands. I think I could probably learn some new tricks from this book. Thanks!
My current crochet book collection is 0 so it would be great to have one for myself! I have yet to make an afghan so it would be pretty helpful, I think.
I love Amanda’s patterns!! I made a beautiful shawl and a blanket from some motifs of hers. I would love love ? to have her book!!!
I love crocheting in bright rainbows, and would love to have more ideas for projects
I would love a copy of this book! I crochet with a group of knitters who make lap blankets for chemo patients. These bright colors would be sure to bring a spot of cheer to them.
I’d love to win a copy of this book. Her work is beautiful and her color combinations are stunning. I’ve never been able to mix colors like that and have it look good. Maybe this would help. Thanks for a chance to win a copy.
I would love to win this book as I love learning and love working with colors. thx for joining the march month of crochet…love this every year event.

I like to try different stitches and an afghan is a good way to learn and try
I’ve admired Amanda’s patterns on Ravelry for a long time, and would love to have more opportunity to crochet some!
I love looking at patterns in Magazines and Books.
I mostly make blankets, and am always looking for fun patterns. I love how colorful and cheerful these look.
Thanks for the giveaway and fun blog tour.
Cheers,

I love making afghans (good way to destash ;-)), so am always on the lookout for new patterns. This book looks exciting, and I’d love to give the patterns a try!
The patterns and colors look vibrant and attractive – inspires me to want to crochet these afghans.
I’ve just made my first baby blanket. This book would be great to encourage me to make more blankets!
I love, love, love Amanda’s blanket designs. They are delightful, deliciously colored works of art and I’d appreciate the chance to win one to have as my very own!!!!
I want to learn how to make colorful rainbowy blankets and afghans!
I believe that this book will help me with the scraps those scraps of yarn that are collected over time. I like the idea of a craft library with different options for whatever the mood strikes you and this book would fit right into my collection as well
I love to crochet blankets and give away as gifts. This book has so many beautiful patterns. I would love to win it and make a blanket for my soon to be here niece.
I absolutely LOVE making blankets but never seem to know what kind of motifs or design to use. This would solve all my issues!
I’d love to win because rainbow scrappy blankets are my FAVE!!!
This is very interesting!
Ooo, I love colorful crafts! These are the kinds of blankets I would make.
I would love the Rainbow Blanket book because I only crochet with lots of color and am always looking for new ideas!
I love crocheting afghans and trying out new patterns. Thank you for a chance to win a copy.
First of all, thank you very much for this special project, and for your generous giveaways!
I’m quite a crochet beginner, taking it step by step, and enjoying every minute of it! (and my cats also…)
I would be happy to get Amanda’s book, because not only I love colors and colorful things, I can’t imagine a life without it…
Thanks again,
Malca
Love the use of colors. I am not that good at putting different colors together. I have to see it first. This book would be very useful on my trips to my local craft store. Thanks for the giveaway.
because I love Amanda’s stuff and I love rainbows
I love the colorful nature of the blankets on the front cover! Thanks for the chance to win!
This would be an outstanding book for great color combinations that I wouldn’t think of myself. I love having hard copy in my hands versus having to be online to get my patterns.
LOVE THE YARN YOU USE TO MAKE PROJECTS!!!!!
What a lovely looking book! I’m just starting to create pieced together blankets. This looks inspiring.
Would love to win this
Id love to add this book to my crochet library collection. There are several gorgeous blankets in there I’d love to make!
Looks like a wonderful book!
I would love to try out these blankets!!
So would love this book because I’m just mad about blankets!! 🙂
I think it would provide new ideas and technique
I always stumble when trying to put colors together for a blanket. That’s probably why I don’t make many blankets haha! I’m for sure going to check into this book. 🙂
I’m not always the greatest with deciding colors so this would be great!! Thak you for the giveaway and chance to win!
I love to crochet home décor because it adds warmth and color.
The rainbow crochet blankets are beautiful. I would love to win a copy of the book!
There are so many beautiful patterns shown on the cover. Just think what will be inside. Looking forward to all the other information that is in the book also.
I absolutely love making granny squares!
I’m always eager to learn new patterns and these look gorgeous!
Iin the past when a loved one would be getting married I would make them an Afghan as a gift. So with one of my kids getting married next year, I would love to win this book to help me create a great gift.
