I crochet when I'm feeling the need to complete a project faster than my knitting allows me to. I like squares but I hate stitching them together. I really like green and reddish square. It looks like watermelon! Congrats on sticking with it until you learned it!flyingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160022751157014548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-64889010383092882342012-12-01T17:28:43.854-05:002012-12-01T17:28:43.854-05:00Three Cheers for you!
