March is International Crochet Month, a relatively new tradition coming up after the American celebration of National Crochet Month.

While crocheting itself is a celebration of creative loving/living, I guess it’s not too bad devoting a month with crocheters and non-crocheters alike just to talk about and enjoy crochet.
