Finally Friday Link-a-Long, Theme: Friends Around the World

Welcome, Friends, to another #LinkParty at the Go Crochet Crazy blog! These week's theme is to celebrate the wonderful friends we make in Blog Land. I've had the pleasure of "meeting" some fantastic, enthusiastic, kind, passionate, caring and encouraging women and men from countries around the world. Were it not for crochet or blogging, our paths would probably never cross. But here we are, so let's celebrate! And please know how much I appreciate each and every one of you for being a part of my life. :)

To celebrate this week's theme, I invite you to tell us what country you're living in/from in the comments. If you're like me...from one country but living in another...you can mention that, too. For those of you who don't know, I'm an American living in Germany. 

Let's Get This Party Started!

Share your blogs, Pinterest pin, or linkable image of homemade/handmade items that fall under the categories of crochet or other yarn creations, crafts, home & gardening, DIY, cooking and decor. Please keep it family friendly, and by joining the link party you give me permission to share your additions through social media venues, such as Pinterest and Twitter. Of course, you will be credited for them.

Now, let's take a look at...

  1. Hi Mary, I'm happy to be here for the first time! I'm in the UK and I am very English, I didn't realise how much until I started blogging and found I talk about charity shops, wool and uni ! I love how the internet allows us to connect with other like minded people with such ease, even if the language we use can be a little confusing sometimes!

  7. Happy Friday Mary. Thanks again for hosting this Link-up Party and letting us all join.
    Well I am Erika and I am a German born and raised middle aged (haha) lady living in the USA. We traded places. Currently I am living in Arkansas job-related. So that might change again soon.
    Until soon, I wish all you lovely ladies a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

  13. Hi Mary! I was born and raised in Washington, D.C. There's a saying in DC that no one living there is from there. Well I'm here to tell you that there are some fabulous people from there and living there as well. I moved to Maryland after finishing college and now I live in Millersville, about an hours' drive from the nations' capital. Your idea is so wonderful . . . I've met some really great people from around the world by blogging.

  20. Hi Mary! I am Supriti Chauhan from India and I love your crochet love! Since I found your blog I have been wanting to pick up my yarn and hooks to do the same but will have wait at least a few more months...reason the temperature in this part of my country is soaring to a whopping 40+ degrees Celsius! No way I can hold the yarn and the needles... come September and I will surely join you in this crocheting journey!
