Crochet in the “News”

Circle of Friends Progress Report

I think I have nearly half as many squares as I need to finish the Circle of Friends Baby Afghan! I had fifteen squares when I took these photos, yesterday afternoon. I now have seventeen… and I think I’m going to stop when I’ve made thirty-five squares.  (That’ll be 5 squares by 7 squares… which, […]

She and my brother-in-law have decided […]
