Love is in the air for the Month of January and February.
 We decided to look to our hearts for this month's challenge and we discovered this beautiful afghan that fits so well with what we were thinking.
With a number of easy techniques to do in this Afghan, it will expand your ideas, colour thoughts and of course what every hookers can discover with granny squares are new ways to sew your amazing creation that would be perfect for Valentine's Day!
Video is currently in production and should be available in the next day or two.
Finished Projects will go to our Flickr Page and 1 Lucky Winner will receive a free bag of Red Heart Yarn Goodies
We are giving you extra time to work on this afghan, the deadline will February 28th, 2014. Now let's 'hook to it!!

"The Mad Hatter: Have I gone Mad?
Alice: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." Lewis Carroll
Yes! We have gone bonkers too and that is no secret. We are getting ready for another Creativ Festival show in April 2014, but this time we are asking our Mad Hatter Crowd to create the most creative hat for the festival's contest.
Over $2500 in Prizes will given to 5 creative crocheters.
"You would have to be half mad to dream (that) up". "Off with their Heads." or in this case 'Hats' to the most creative and far out hats.

Rhonda's creation is so well done, it looks like he is ready for another play time jumping around and being fun.

Editor's Note: To be featured in our Facebook Page is purely like winning the lottery! It is always random and with such a wonderful page of MANY followers we do our best to include as many as we can when time allows us. Also Patterns might not be available. Be kind to those and please support each other by going to the 'recently post by others' page and give everyone a thumbs up or a positive comment. After all, we created this page to give you the chance to inspire others and to support each other with questions. Just like being in School show and tell was always the best time of the day. We love every one of these projects and hope you share that love with others as well.
