I really like this granny square. The circle really pops out at you. Nicely designed and written pattern. I could see this making a very nice baby afghan!
Simple and pretty design–I can see using this for so many different things!
Thank you much!
Thank you for the nice email welcoming me to your site. I was on here a few years ago and rec’ing emails but for some reason they stopped, and I was missing them, so I came back to see why and I guess I got misplaced. hehe
Anyways I’m enjoying your patterns and lil tips. Thanks so much!
1.I was given a beautiful throw 12×12 crocheted throw pillow that was a huge pick rose w/green leaves and then white boarder… Does anyone know how to make this.
2. A friend helped me make a mouse head w/long tail book mark years ago. of course, I didnt write the pattern down. Would anyone know how to do this.
