Helpful Hint:

If you are not in a crochet group, why not start one in your home? Invite everyone you know who crochets, and tell them to bring friends. Make it fun by having crochet-related games and door prizes like yarn, hooks, pattern books, hook cases, tote bags for carrying yarn or gauge wizards. I try to make sure everyone gets a prize. If you are a beginner, being part of a crochet group will help you learn.

Words of Encouragement

When you give a gift from the heart, that act of kindness may mean more than you ever realize. I read once, “People won't necessarily remember what you say, and they won't always remember what you do, but they will always remember the way you made them feel.” How do you make the important people in your life feel? Do you discourage them or lift them up?.
