I’ve explained to someone yesterday about what crocheting is to me. I find it extremely therapeutic and calming to sit and work on a project that doesn’t involve a lot of concentration. I said I like to

Last week I missed #needleworkmonday I was so deep in learning a new stitch and I enjoyed it so much. I found a jumper that would take 4 hours to make. Hmmm nope .... but I am a lot bigger than the size

I made my step daughter a new vest cami for our summer holidays. Yes I’m a little early but I’ve got lots of ideas that I’d like to make before we go. I found the free pattern on Pinterest. Which lead
