I started by watching some videos on the different stitches you can do with this
Each year at Christmas I wish I had a pile of handmade things to give as gifts. I start each year with a resolution to make gifts throughout the year. When The Country Willow put together a gift making event I wanted to join in. What a great way to get 12 projects ready! I hope you will join our fun. Thanks to the first
I always wish I had the right words to brighten someone’s day. When I see the “Chic Sheep Yarn” colors they make me happy. I knew I wanted to make a cute little project that could be whipped up in HAPPY COLORS to spread sunshine each time someone sees it. Thanks to Red Heart Yarns for sending me this yarn! I have had a lot
