Although I don’t celebrate the holidays, I love crocheting and knitting gifts for my friends who do celebrate. Every year, I say I am going to make conscious decisions to start my gift crocheting early, narrow down the recipients to a number I know I can handle, and not have any crafting stress around the holidays.
Every year I make a liar out of myself. But what do I want to do the second the last dish is put away and the last snack devoured for the day? Crochet something new JUST FOR ME!
I am apparently not alone in this sentiment, so I joined 40 of my crochet designer colleagues and created the Crochet for Me Bundle. It’s chock full of 56 individual patterns, never before offered in a bundle or for free, that will give you a wide range of patterns that will suit you from head to toe.
