The following guest post comes from author, Rhoda Baxter. Here at the Pink Palace of Bitchery, we’re a crafty bunch. Knitting and crocheting have become a frequent conversation, and we love it when readers can share their crafted creations with us. While working on a blanket, Rhoda discovered that creating something through crochet was quite similar to writing a novel.
