Make Your Thanksgiving Meal Special with Crochet
By Caissa "Cami" McClinton – Be the first to commentWell, the seasons are changing and fall is definitely in full swing here in the United States. For those of us in South Florida that means sunny skies, mid-70’s, and snowbirds. My friends up north tell me this year the fall foliage is gorgeous! And those lucky people are probably wearing sweaters and cute legwarmers already!
I have to tell you, having made the move to a warm (Mexico) then even warmer (Florida) climate, these subtle seasonal changes are barely perceptible to my northern-bred body, but even so, the longer you stay somewhere, the more you become in tune with those tiny shifts. This year, I actually noticed a change in weather! In these climates, the holidays become even more important indicators of seasonal changes.
So let’s think ahead and make this Thanksgiving cozy with crochet! Below you will find a seriously fabulous pattern round-up for all facets of your yearly meal.
