National Crochet Month
You’ve arrived at A Tour Through Crochet Country! During March 2013, Crochetville is hosting a daily designer blog tour in celebration of National Crochet Month. Each day, we visit the blogs of one or two crochet designers, who share something with us — a free crochet pattern or tutorial, a peek into their studio or a-day-in-the-life, a coupon code, or something else special. Join us each day for a new surprise!
On our 21st day of A Tour through Crochet Country, we’re visiting Alaina Klug.
[button link=”http://www.loose-enzcrochet.com/blog.html”]Today’s Stop: Visit Alaina Klug[/button]
Today we visit with Alaina Klug, an associate professional with CGOA. Alaina has completed the Craft Yarn Council of America teaching program and Dora Ohrenstein’s (Crochet insider) Designer Boot Camp. She is now working on CGOA’s Master of Advanced Crochet Stitches and Techniques program.
Alaina currently teaches crochet classs in Novi and Livonia, MI. She sells patterns, tools/supplies, and yarn on her new website/blog.
Here is one of Alaina’s recent projects.
See You Again Tomorrow!
I hope you enjoyed today’s stops visiting with Alaina. Please come join us again tomorrow when we’ll visit with Erin Boland and Jenny King (rescheduled from March 1).
Remember Project Night Night & CGOA
We would love your support for our blog tour charity, Project Night Night, which donates comforting nighttime packages to homeless children. You can help by making and sending new crocheted blankets (50” x 60” or smaller) and/or making a financial donation. If you contribute, won’t you please use our form to help us keep a blog-tour tally?
Our blog tour is also promoting another non-profit, the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA). All designers participating in the tour are Professional or Associate Professional members of the CGOA. If you’re not a member yet, there are so many reasons to join!

My most favorite project was the afghan I made with my grandmother. She taught me how to crochet and we worked on it together. I still have that afghan
