The next time you find your­self in Joshua Tree, Cal­i­for­nia, hold off on going to the Nation­al Park (for a lit­tle while). Instead, pop on over to the World Famous Cro­chet Muse­um, a for­mer pho­to-pro­cess­ing booth that sits in the back of a vacant lot near the Joshua Tree Saloon. Shari Elf, a cro­chet fanat­ic and col­lec­tor for 30 years, pur­chased the space and paint­ed it lime green. She filled it with her col­lec­tion of afghans and amigu­ru­mi char­ac­ters that range from cute stuffed tur­tles to mer­maids to more abstract pieces.

The World Famous Cro­chet Muse­um is free! (And a great pho­to op. Just check out Insta­gram.) I have not been lucky enough to go here (yet), but believe me. It is on my list for the next time I find myself in the area.
