Hooks at the ready: it's National Crochet Month

March is the month to get people hooked on crochet, as the Crochet Guild of America has declared it National Crochet Month.

The Guild want to see crochet spread like a virus this month, and to get us passing on the habit to as many of our friends and family we can round up: "Teach someone to crochet in March," suggests Rita Weiss, its president: "It is essential that we pass on the skill of crochet. What better way to empower a child or an adult than by giving them a crochet hook and ball of yarn? The skill of crochet will spark their imagination and bring lifelong enjoyment."

Getting people as addicted as you are!? If it all sounds a bit inethical to you, you could always do the saintly thing and get involved in a bit of crafting for charity. Check out the Guild's list of charities that are always looking forward to crafty donations, and of course, our own good causes list here.
