Two recent blog posts: Flashing my Crochet Stitch Dictionary Stash What There Is To Learn About Seaming Crochet

I've released 4 new patterns over this month: Radio Waves Scarf Seamless keyhole scarf. Panacea Wrap It transforms from wrap to cowl. Simply Classic Mitts 5 sizes included. Onodrim Shawl One shawl to rule them all. Whether your skein has a little more yardage or a little less, instructions are included to make the most of the yarn you have. Includes crochet symbol diagrams.

Yes, my class just launched last Monday!

Oh! I didn't see it was on sale! Sorry the $5 discount is off the regular price, so if its on sale for more you get that lower price instead.

I'm not sure if this counts as a sale or a coupon. My class, Seaming Crochet, just launched online on Craftsy. You can use this link for $5 off the class price. EDIT TO CLARIFY: $5 off the normal full price. If the class is on sale for more than that, you'll get the sale price instead.

I looked over and searched through the help documents and couldn't find info on this. Is it possible to change my user name from Leebah to PoetryinYarn, and, if so, how?

I agree with Rose Red. There will be a problem if it's worked in the round. You could try turning after every round. Alternatively, I've seen doilies painted with thinned acrylic paint. Try that on a small swatch to see if you like the effect.
