Amy and Donna, the creators of the very popular Crochetville Forum, have come up with a fun challenge.

It’s a celebration of the 2008  Olympics, and is an invitation for crocheters to try something new and/or challenging during the Olympics.
It’s the 2008 Crochet Games of Ancient Greece. Click the link  below and join in!

Enjoy the Olympics!
