Chance to Be Featured by Red Heart & The Crochet Crowd
+ Win A Yarn Ball Winder
Over the course of one year, The Crochet Crowd has a goal to feature over
6,000 crocheters on Facebook. These featured positions as based on a random selection of photographs posted by our members. As much as we are the leaders of this massive group, we feel it's extremely important to also recognize others as well and share the glory with you all.
On top of features, our fans post pictures too! By the time shares and content flies around Faceook, in just a three month period, over 26,000,000 people will have seen content that was posted to The Crochet Crowd. That's a lot of love and creativity all wrapped up into just one Facebook Page. If you are not in a feature position, you are still very much in the view of people even if you don't see a lot of likes or comments...
Each of you have the power to inspire others through The Crochet Crowd, featured or not featured!
Starting at 2 PM EST today, Jan 21, 2014 to 3pm EST on Jan 28, 2014, you have an opportunity to be featured and win a Yarn Ball Winder.

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.
