International Crochet Day 12th September: International Crochet Day was launched in 2007 by Jimbo, the author of the blog Jimboâs Front Porch. He hand carved wood crochet hooks to raise money for a building project at his ranch, and he felt that the art of crochet deserved more appreciation. Since then, bloggers and crochet enthusiasts have spread the word, and International Crochet Day is now fairly popular among people who are into arts and crafts. There are plenty of ways to celebrate International Crochet Day. You can try a new pattern or learn a new technique, buy yourself a crochet-related present (for example, a new hook, some yarn, or subscription to a crochet magazine), share pictures of your works on social media, or take your crochet out in public to raise awareness of this amazing form of art and craft. And if youâve always wanted to try crochet, but have never had the chance to, here it is, your chance! Enjoy crocheting on all your WIPs!! #67blankets #internationalcrochetday #fortheloveofcrochet #observeyourhobbyday #yarnlover #wooligan #hookedoncrochet (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrbwuTq_xjxUD2tMbkzsj8M3NCok0mjbleNGM0/?utm_medium=tumblr
