I couldn't find my favorite, the post that first "hooked" me on your blog, which was a photo of the snowy trees around you and reminded me of my old neighborhood in CT. Thinking of you and the big blizzard today. Hope you are OK!
BUT my second favorite was the first of a series of posts about how you and your helpers crocheted 30 shawls in a really short time for your daughter's school production of Fiddler on the Roof. Awesome!

I liked it because I hadn't realized there was a "flap" about the Ravelympics name & the Olympic committee and I enjoyed your taking their logic apart at the seams! (sorry it wasn't more of a crochet post!)

This is my Fav becasue touches on a special memory for me,
http://crochetwithdee.blogspot.com/2013/10/magic-wands-part-ii.html
Many years ago, 2008, I spent about 9 months in Spokane, but I was from Los Angeles. I was there over the Winter so I saw snow for the first time since I was a kid. A friend who lived about 100 miles outside of Spokane invited me to spend Christmas with her family on her farm. She had no running water, no electricity, cooked on a wood burning stove, and her closest neighbor was 2 miles away.
There was a major storm while I was there and I ended up stranded with them for 2 weeks until a plow was able to clear the highway and one of her friends could get through to drive me back into town.
I packed some yarn and crochet hooks to use while I spent time out there. Her Daughters, 8 and 13 asked me to teach them to crochet, but with limited lighting inside, I really had to dig around to find an extra hook for them, Meanwhile as I was searching, the 13 yo went outside in the snow, grabbed a stick and carved herself a crochet hook, and then painted it with nail polish! All before i even found a spare.
I have to say it was the most amazing Christmas I ever had, and I was so impressed with her girls, I can't think of any kids in LA who would be so resourceful!
I like the following post:

It would be interesting if both hooks get to see a rematch together. It intrigues me how the selection of one over the other was made.
I LOVED this post:

I have a friend that recently started carving crochet hooks. He has been experimenting with various types of wood and this post make me think of his endeavors. I have a few of the hooks my friend has made and they are my favorite hooks by far. The part about him making the first hooks for his sister from a branch off their childhood ranch was heartwarming! Thank you for sharing your crochet world with us and I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
Best Wishes,

Hi Dee!~
I had fun cruising through the archives looking for my favorite post :) Great idea!
My favorite is http://crochetwithdee.blogspot.com/2012/05/best-25th-anniversary-gift-evah.html
It seems our husbands share a similar theory when it comes to our crochet...they love us and are happy to put that smile on our faces, even if it means becoming involved in all sorts of yarnie madness.
