2016 NatCroMo Blog Tour

Invitation

3 crochet designers
1 crochet-friendly LYS
1 yarn company
1 daily giveaway

Information We’ll Need from You

We will need you to provide us with up to 5 photos and a ready-to-publish blog post promoting the ways in which your LYS is crochet-friendly and what you do to make crocheters feel welcome and that they are valued customers.
