It’s A New Year! Learn Something New!


Happy New Year! I know we’re a few weeks into 2017, but now that you have had a chance to settle into your day-to-day routine after the holidays, I thought I would take a moment to remind you to learn something new this year!

If you are like me, your crochet list is long with new projects you want to make. We often spend a good part of our crochet time making gifts for others or crocheting for charity; all worthwhile, but I hope you take time to learn something new this year.
