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.
