Did you enjoy the Crochet Along?
|

It was just a week long event shared on The Crochet Crowd on how to Fillet Crochet. A quick little course that Red Heart requested us to do. Have you ever heard of Filet Crochet? Many did not and greatly appreciated the new experience. A practice rarely often used.

Check out the Flickr Page for the outstanding entries. Over 700! Thanks for everyone that had that took part. |

With the Games beginning, we all hope that each country will do the best they can. We also hope for safe return and safety for all people attending the games. We support honest competitions of human achievement and endurance during these games. So to celebrate these awesome events, why not make a hat supporting your country's colours.
The hat is warm and very easy to crochet. After all Diva Dan, who is not really a quick crocheter, did 4 of them in a couple days!
