After having an exhausting few weeks of holiday celebrations and confusing work schedules I can honestly say it’s a bit nice to get back to my regular routine. Sadly, that means I have to be here in the office instead of working up some awesome crochet patterns, but I guess we all know how that goes. As much as we want to, crochet can wait until we get home.
Last week on New Year’s Eve we asked you “What is your yarn-related New Year’s Resolutions?” and we received a lot of great answers. Mine, along with others, is to finish the projects that I start before beginning new ones. I just get so excited!
