Summer and Crochet

There are many people who taper off their crochet projects in the summer in favor of being outdoors. I can certainly understand their reasoning. For me, however, Hot weather is NOT something I enjoy. I am out and about much more in Fall, Spring, and yes, even Winter. Summer and Crochet are a perfect match for me...

As promised, here are some "Victorian Sites/blogs" that I think you will enjoy. They cover many aspects of the Victorian Era. I hope you enjoy them.
