March is suppose to be National Crochet/Craft Month.....
Personally, It should just be called National 'Craft' Month, leave out 'Crochet', and just let it fall within the same category.
Every March I look to find out what's going on, what people are doing or planning to do, and each March it's always the same.....NOT A DAMM THING!!
Whenever I bring the topic up, most people look at me like I lost my damm mind,and have no clue of what I'm talking about.
Or, they'll ask ME what's going on, never knowing or doing anything themselves, waiting for someone else to tell them.
And if I get one more person to ask me about the 'Knit Out' (UGH!).... (btw, it's ALWAYS in September, people!!!), I'll scream!!!!
So if something's free, and they can get some 'free stuff', OK, they might be interested. Other than that....couldn't be bothered.
My understand is that this is a month dedicated to help promote handmade crafts, by learning new and diferent things, teaching and improving one's craft talents...
Or am I dreaming??? Or am I just being cynical?
You tell me....

I agree, when I first heard of this last year I checked around and looked for ways to promote en masse or celebrate and nada....I promote as much as I can locally and everyone I know knows the benefits of buying handmade or trying handmade...but why have a national month and no events of national activities to honor it.
Oh, Ken, you've expressed the frustration perfectly! Btw, since when is crochet NOT a craft????
You're probably dreaming, but since National Craft Month is an American thing it doesn't really affect me. I will continue doing what I do, which is crocheting whenever and wherever the mood strikes, promoting and teaching crochet wherever and whenever I can.
Typo corrected. :)
