Welcome to Crochet Cabana's
10th year

Your crochet source on the
Internet.
You'll find charity information, how to crochet tutorials
including how to make and join granny squares,
crocheting in the round, specialty stitches
like broomstick lace, hairpin lace and crochet on the double, plus
much more.
If you missed the anniversary celebration, you can
still access the the information for a short time from the
anniversary page

 I
am excited to announce the opening of the
Crochet Cabana Etsy store.
It will feature items
made by my daughter, Kaitlin Smith, and myself (Sandra Petit). At this time
we have crocheted
wire bracelets/anklets, and fiber projects such as hats, scarves, lapghans,
and shawls.
We
also have a
Cafe Press

you love Crochet Cabana.

Below are my tutorials.
If you want to print JUST the tutorial (for your personal use only), highlight
the part you want to print, and choose "selection" when your printer box comes
up.

My faith is an
important part of my life.

Christianity, please go here.
If you are interested in a Bible study that also incorporates crochet, check out
Crocheting for Christ. July 2007 we are studying Women of the Bible.
This is our first Bible study, so we're still finding our way. :-)

Thanks for being a part of the

Due to spam issues I've decided to get
rid of the guestbook and guestmap features. Please use the e-mail "Send" button
below if you'd like to contact me. Thanks!
Special thanks
to Katy for starting me on the road to crocheting almost 30 years ago!
If you find any errors
please let me know so that I can correct them.
I get many requests for this or that
pattern.
I cannot give out patterns that are copyrighted
- don't ask me.
If you are looking for patterns,
there are several ways to find
them. Do a web search, join a crochet list, put a message on several
message boards, check Ebay or half.com, buy online or at a local bookstore or other outlet, or use your local
library inter-library loan. Please note that any requests for
copyrighted patterns will be
ignored.
Also, please remember that
I am a person just like you, with a life outside of the internet. I answer
all my e-mails and really enjoy hearing from you all. Please understand when
I cannot take the time to crochet an item you are having trouble with, so I
can explain how to do it.
Please also be sure to put crochet or something relevant in the subject
line. I do not open e-mails that have no subject line or that just say
"hello" or "hi" and many times these end up in my spam box and I never see
them.

EMAIL ME click on the button below.
Note: No offense meant, but when I do e-mail you, please do not add me to
your address book and begin to send me all your "forwards". I know these can
be cute or inspirational, but I assure you, I've seen them all.

FYI,
although it is out of print, my
first
Christian romance novella, Rose in Bloom,
is still available in some locations in the anthology the Bouquet (Barbour Publishing).
Romantic Times magazine gave The Bouquet 4 1/2 stars out of 5. The book
was #1 on the CBA bestseller list for romance.
There
are three other stories in the anthology. The other authors are
Janet Lee Barton,
Diann Hunt,
and
Gail Sattler.
You can read descriptions of the stories at my other
site http://www.sandrapetit.com .
The
Bouquet is out of print but was still available at
Amazon

This site last updated on

Notice:
The web site
Emagister
is asking people to
enroll to take a "Crochet Cabana" tutorial "course" online.
This is bogus.
Information on Crochet Cabana is always freely available without
enrolling in a course.
No one
has been given permission by me to develop a course or class online for
which you must register. When you enroll in the Emagister course, you must give your
personal e-mail and are merely
given a link to my site (which you already have if you are here). The link they are using is bad, but they may fix
that. I don't know anything else about the site, but would caution you
before registering since I have contacted several site owners listed in
their course list and they also did not know their materials were being used
in this way.
Also, please be careful
when searching the Internet. I did a search for "Crochet Cabana" and found a
site that claimed to have free patterns and mentioned the Granny Square
tutorial at Crochet Cabana. When I clicked on the link, it sent me to one
page which immediately redirected me to another page with pornographic
photos on it. Of course, I left the site immediately and notified Google of
this deception. Just read the URLs carefully before clicking. That's the
best you can do.
