Want to Chat about the Tour?
Part of the fun of taking a passenger steam train trip is talking with your fellow passengers. This year, we’re providing two locations where our passengers can get to know each other. We’d 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!)

very small lol 😀 i have only been crocheting now 15 months! i have about 3 books that i have won, so that is my library besides all the patterns i have gotten on blogs and pinterest and other places! 🙂 thanks for the chance~~
I enjoy these contests. If I win it’s like a Christmas gift all year round. Thanks.
what a great giveaway. 2 crochet books for me and a gift for my sister, the knitter 🙂
I have a medium sized library, rather haphazardly collected.
Medium and organized.
I love books and Search Press is a favorite publisher so I know I’d enjoy the books.
Thank you for the chance to win.
My library has been neglected since I got involved with so many online groups where I can get instant downloads. My online libraries are not well organized after a long illness but my goal is to get it reorganized.
I only have a couple crochet books. Maybe three or four
my library is very small, about 8 books… would love some new ones
it is organized. I use it daily.
I have a fairly large collection of crochet and knit books as well as magazines, which are somewhat organized.
My crochet library is quite large and continually expanding with all the crochet magazines I subscribe to and the new books I buy. Sad to say, it is rather disorganized. I actually need one whole room to use as a library but right now it consists of various shelves and piles in 2 different rooms.
I have a small organized crochet library. I would love to have these 3 books. Great giveaway. Thanks!
My book/magazine/loose pattern library is large (and growing). It is somewhat organized but am forever pulling something out of place and not always putting it back so it has to be reorganized on a regular basis. Most helpful things in my library are collections of stitches and stitch dictionaries that I use when designing some of my projects.
I wouldn’t call my crochet library large but I have a few books and magazines. I also have a binder that I keep printed free patterns in. I would love to win these books and expand my library!
Probably medium sized but totally haphazard!
It’s pretty small so it doesn’t need to be all that well organized.
I have a pretty good size crochet library. I’m the only one in my family who crochets so I have inherited patterns and books from my grandmother and aunt. But I am always interested in adding fun new patterns to my collection.
My pattern library in hard copy isn’t too big, but I’m constantly adding patterns in Ravelry so my digital library is pretty big.
My crochet library is large.
it’s medium… not big not small, but need to be organized, 🙂
Haphazard….
I have huge library; It is more “grouped” than organized.
Way too big of a collection…but I need them all!
I absolutely love cowls and would love to learn how to crochet a scoodie!! 🙂
My library is large and haphazard (much still in boxes from my last move a couple years back). I’ve started getting it into my librarything catalog so I know what I have, but I have multiple thousands of craft books/leaflets/magazines/etc. so it will take a while (even once it gets warm enough I’m willing to hang out downstairs where my books and crafts are).
My library is small and very haphazard!
“Medium” sized and only slightly organized. I have a list of the books I have and a general idea of where they are (in one bookshelf).
My crochet library is mostly amigurumi books and a few technique books. Not really organized, but I would love to win this set of books.
It’s still pretty small in print, and medium-sized on the computer. Both places are pretty disorganized, but I’m hoping that, when I get a bigger place, I can dedicate a room to crafting, and get a Kindle or something to store all my online/downloaded crafting publications on so they don’t get lost in all the files on my computer. 😉
I have a very eclectic crochet library, mostly everything is in cloud storage if at all possible so that when I finish with one project, regardless of where I am I have everything I need right there to start on the next one.
I have an enormous crochet library of both modern and antique publications. Fairly well organized. Would love to add this book to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
Fairly small, I only have a couple of actual books, more magazines and small pattern booklets. I wish it were more organized. Some are on my bookshelf but many of the booklets are packed in boxes. It is one of my goals to get an organized craft space and have them all displayed and easily accessible, someday!
I would say about medium/
Fairly small and very haphazard!
Always need patterns!
What’s your personal crochet library like? Big or small? Organized or haphazard? I have lots of crochet books, two shelfs and three shelfs of crochet magazines. It is not organized at this time, I should spend some time fixing that.
My crochet book collection is rather small, now that I can save them on Ravelry.
I am slowly but surely getting my medium size crochet/ knit book collection organized haha
My library is fairly small, stored on a bookshelf.
3 books wow! This is a great way to try something new!!
I have a few books I’ve started collecting….but like to check them out of the library first 🙂
My Crochet library is small, I just begin so it is growing
These would be my first real books on crochet. Everything I have otherwise is electronic on my Kindle. These would be wonderful to win!
My library is mostly digital, but I have a growing shelf of books and magazines that is so far small enough to stay organized. So far.
I have a few books that I bought second hand. LOADS of patterns in my Ravelry library though 🙂
most of my books are concerning knit/crochet.
Big and haphazard!
Large library in need of better organization. It is my ‘secret garden’..
I have a pretty good crochet library, but boy does it need some organization!
I have a medium sized library that right now is very haphazardly dealt with. Meaning everything is stored in a tote right now 🙁 Soon enough it will be dealt with and look amazing when it is done. I love remodeling.
Another wonderful giveaway thanks so much for the chance
I have a crafting library ranging from crochet, knitting, sewing, crafting books, how to books, and recipe books. My largest portion of books and printouts are of crochet. I try to be organized with my book collection but for now the ones not in use are in their crates and the ones I do use are besides by bed. I wouldn’t say it’s organized but they are not in a place where they will get destroyed.
I am so thankful for Ravelry to tame my patterns. I use a folder on OneDrive to store them so I can access them at home or on the go
