Did you get your crochet on in March?

In case you missed it, March was National Crochet Month according to the Crochet Guild of America. I happen to think anytime is crochet time so don't let it get you down if you didn't finish all of your crocheting last month.

The Topeka Crochet Guild meets at the library twice a month and, besides having a great time, donates hundreds of items to local charities each year. Join the fun!
