For a couple of hours every other month or so, ladies from my church have been getting together to crochet. It was something we talked about doing for months before it actually happened. In fact, we noticed we had many crocheters in the congregation based on the number crocheting through Sunday school or the occasional… Continue reading Project Chemo Crochet
