From The Editor

Hi!  My name is Debbie and I'll be putting together our monthly Gazette. I have worked with Martin and Michal in the past and am very excited to be back on their team and helping people around the world connect with like-minded (or like-crafted) people!

A little about me: I am a crocheter - I've tried several times to knit but it just isn't in the cards. Many of my family members knit (I'm so jealous) and some are also crocheters. My favourite creations are afghans, although I have made a few sweaters.

Well, that's me, now let's take a look at what you have been doing ....
