Our next stop is http://crochetville.com/ Amy and Donna have done an outstanding job developing a crochet community. It is a community in every sense of the word, it’s a place to chat, share and learn from everyone else who has a passion for crochet and the crochet business. Once you visit Crochetville you will become a friend and visit often. I am thrilled to have Crochetville on the tour and look forward to meeting everyone when I sign books at their booth in Charlotte NC for the Crochet Guild conference in October. Good Luck with the giveaway here at I Hook Design, remember to come back and leave a comment from one of the stops you visited during the tour.

I then had a yarn opportunity, I took the yarn back to the hotel and had no hooks to play with it with me, (never again), I ran to Joanns and picked up a set of inexpensive hooks.
