Minnesota State Fair Round-Up

Another successful year at the MN State Fair! Here are some photos of our participation. Since the ribbon winners are still on display at the fair, those will be posted at a later date.

Thanks goes out to everyone who participated in these events,  Every contribution, big or small, helps spread the word about the artistry of crochet.

Dan Patchwork

Crochet Twin Cities participated in the Great Minnesota Knit (&Crochet) together by creating Dan Patchwork - our crochet-covered topiary.
