So…….
I recently asked some of my crochet groups what they like to crochet the most and I was surprised to find out it was Afghans! Then hats & beanies were a close second.
I haven’t delved into the world of Afghans very often, but I absolutely love creating C2C graphs. I only wish I had more time to design, and create ALL my patterns for graphs. Soon I will be uploaded a bunch of C2C graphs.
I love dragons and mermaids but I love any mythical creature if you seen or heard of “how to train your dragon”
that’s one
I ❤ c2c crochet and I would love to see some mythical creatures and sea creatures teddy’s ect
Oh that sounds like fun. I’ll see what I can whip up!
Any particular creatures in mind?
