Good morning! This week I made some nice progress on my Make & Do Easy Breezy Crochet Shrug. I completed the sleeves. I have say, I had to rip out the first sleeve a few times due to my misreading the pattern. Actually, it was as if I had pattern blindness. I couldn't figure out … Continue reading Evolution of a Crochet Shrug Part Two

Evolution of a Crochet Shrug
On my YOP list was Two of Wands Movie Night Cocoon Shrug.

I have also started a … Continue reading Adding Magic
