Posted by Kristen on October 20th, 2009 at 11:30am

In the spirit of craftiness, today’s feature is our friend Barb of BarbsCrochet.com. Her dedication to crochet crafts and finding all the best free patterns and techniques is nothing shy of expert status. Among your group of crafters, socialites or even family members, there’s always someone who’s inherently “in the know” – when it comes to crochet, Barb is in the know! She also crochets and posts her own free patterns for the site. I managed to pull up this crochet dishcloth free pattern from the extensive stack.
