Started and finished this funny frog this evening using 3.25mm ( my go to size now 😊) 🐸 Although quite small, it does take a lot of work to make it look neat when fixing parts together.

Finished the chevron sample. Not sure if it will pass but at least I completed it 😊

I finished the horse last night and just finished this cool Martian 😎 I have lots of other bits to sew up, but I have to be in the mood for it. Does anyone else feel like that? I just like crocheting! I’ve decided to make a start on the chevron sample with a 3.25mmContinue reading “20th March 2021”
