I have to start this by saying that I love to crochet. It’s my me time where I can ignore everyone with good reason and no one expects me to remember a word they say. Wow, I’m really antisocial, or a prick… probably a healthy combination of both.

Anyway, I decided that there are 50 days left until the holiday season starts to end, so I want to get ready. Conveniently enough, prep for [...]
