Education, resources, and all things crochet
I'm still all about the spring, and I *do* have my gorgeous new tattoo that I haven't had a chance to show off yet (I got it in November, so it would have plenty of time to heal before being exposed to summer sun), and so those two things have come together to make this… Continue reading What I’m working on: a cute spring tank top!
