I've always been a fan of crochet designer Robyn Chachula who runs the blog, Crochet by Faye. Robyn's started a new series, "Day in the Life", starting with herself as she shares how she lives and works in her day in the life of a structural crochet engineer. If you're a crafter who's interested in participating, contact Robyn and see the "Day in the Life" roundup posts she does, like this one featuring a week of a day in the life of crochet designers.

Eyepatches aren't all about saying "Arrrr!" and looking like a pirate. They actually serve a purpose for those with eye injuries or squint problems. As a kid, I had to wear one for about a month when a fellow pre-schooler threw a handful of sand in my eye, scratching my cornea. I would have been so grateful if my mom had been able to use this eyepatch-crafting tutorial at Lucky Kate Crafts, so I could have worn something that made me feel less weird (and more cute).
