If you spend a lot of time on Facebook, you may see a lot of games going around that ask you to choose your birth month and day, or first initial and last initial to create a silly sentence. Well, being the crochet addict that I am, I decided to create one related to crochet! I hope you will find as much amusement in it as I am! :)
