We’re going through changes
It was with great excitement back in July that we took the plunge to formally register JANIE CROW as a limited company. This was a big step for us here in the Crowfoot household and involved quite a lot of sleepless nights, but we felt that it is the way forward for our business and of course - once all the formalities were over - it was really exciting to see the word ‘DIRECTOR’ next to our names!The amazing response to The Crochet Club was the...
The Crochet Club 2012 - Team JANIE CROW
A whopping 230 people have already committed themselves to membership for next year and payment requests have been sent out via email over the last week or so.

The Crochet Club project 2011 will be on display along with a special sneak peek at part of next year’s project and we will of course be bringing along our stock of the lovely Holz & Stein needles and the Prym and Addi range of crochet hooks for you to try. The stand will be a whole meter bigger which means we will have more space to display the cushion...
