6/19/08 Crochet Klatch

Welcome to the Crochet Klatch. We are here the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 PM at the Seymour Public Library.

My name is Kathy Niccum and I’ve been crocheting over 30 years. I grew up in Seymour, escaped for a while, but missed the “small town” so much that I came back.

Bring your questions, patterns/projects you need help with, tidbits for other crocheters, and even finished projects to show off.

You can reach me for help between classes either by email at kathy@abundant-life-fellowship.org or by cell at 812-525-2352 (be sure to leave me a message).
