March is National Crochet Month

[LI Roe]

Does anyone have any special plans to celebrate National Crochet Month in March? Other than continuing to crochet, I will have to buy a couple of skeins (at least) of yarn and a new crochet magazine or book (like I really need a reason anyway, LOL).

Wouldn't it be so much fun if we all lived near each other? We could have a potluck lunch and spend the afternoon crocheting together!

Hi Winnie!

We left Arizona today and are in Santa Fe, NM tonight. Will be in Colorado for a few days and then back home next week. I hear it is supposed to get into the 60's by then. YAYYYYY!!! I was afraid we'd come home to tons of snow and ice.
We'll need to get together soon!!
Love ya, Girlfriend!!

It would be GREAT if we could do thatShelley!
One friend I met online in 2006 came to visit me a few years ago and we've remained phone /internet friends ever since... but she doesn't crochet and I know she gets sick of hearing me talk about things she has no idea what it means, lol.. she was once a nationwide sewing champion, at age 13 she won a national contest, a sewing machine, a scholarship, cash, blots of material & sewing supplies, and the piece she entered was the 1st thing she'd ever made! Some people are just born with special gifts. She can't sew any more due to eye problems, but she made a ton of beautiful things in her day.

Another special friend of mine is the one who passed her mothers 50+ yrs old set of crochet hooks to me when I told her I was going to learn to crochet. There is EVERY single size, incl tiny surgical tool size, lol, that ever exists but I did have to buy an M and a P. Two of them a Bates and a Boye, have the prices engraved, one is 10 cents and one 25 cents (!!) and thy say 'made in the usa' on them. I am honored to be using these hooks, still in perfect condition, metal, stainless tell, is is virtually indestructable (SP?). She said she wanted them to continue making crochet so she mailed me the whole set. How sweet was that?! she herself doesn't crochet, but her mom did.

I guess I started celebrating early. Hobby Lobby had a sale last week on Artiste crochet thread and I bought 4 balls in different colors. Has anyone used this brand? I guess I'm just used to Aunt Lydia's, J & P Coats or South Maid because I found it to be too soft and had a hard time adjusting my tension as well as keeping it on my hook. However, the doily I made and blocked turned out just fine. No other plans to celebrate unless I find another sale!
Shelley, I'm ready for lunch and crocheting anytime!!!

I like your idea, Shelley. Wondering if anyone has made a crochet connection. I know that the friend(ships) that I have made on here I would enjoy meeting each and everyone of them.
