What a Fun Day! YES! We did have turn out! It was very hard to crochet or knit while holding an umbrella, but, some of us found a way! The Goody Bags were a hit especially to our 2 younger crocheters Matt and Arielle, they were tickled that there was yarn & a crochet hook!

What a Year for Crochet! 2009 brought us the Most Beautiful Designs from Scarves to Clothing, New Stitches, and the Most Wonderful Yarns and Fibers one could image!

Lois and I went to the CGOA 2009 conference, where we met Andrea. It was exciting for both as it was their first conference.
