New Crochet Group on Facebook

I created a group on Facebook so we could all get together and talk about crochet. It's called HHC's Crochet Hideaway and you can find it here:  https://facebook.com/groups/745684998801635 We have challenges, share patterns, ask questions, and laugh about our addiction.
