Are you always up until midnight on Christmas Eve crocheting that last-minute present? Last year I saw a lot of people in the crochet groups struggling to get finished. I thought it would be fun if we started a Christmas Present Crochet – Along in July and it would run through probably the end of November or Early December! Let this year be the year that you won’t have to jump through hoops or stress out over not finishing!
