The Happily Hooked on Crocheting Club

Promoting & Preserving the Art of Crochet in the Danbury, Connecticut , area since 2001

Welcome!


The Happily Hooked on Crocheting Club is a Connecticut Chapter of the Crochet Guild of America.  We have members from all parts of Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and even in the state of Washington!

We are a fairly active group, learning & sharing our love of crochet with each other in a fun atmosphere, while also assisting local charities.  In fact, our Club colors stand as a reminder:


Purple for our passion of crochet,
Gold for keeping our old friends,
Silver for making new friends. 

We invite you to visit our pages here, and our blog, to learn more about us.  Then, when you are ready, we invite you to come meet us and see how much fun sharing the passion for crochet can be! 

If you would like to be a Guest Speaker or Guest Teacher, or need to contact us for additional information, go here: Contact Us
