Crochet Pencil

Did your kiddos go back to school this week? I’m a little late posting this because kids go back to school after Labor Day in Canada and I had completely forgotten that kids go back sooner in the US! Regardless, I made this pencil for my sister to take Back-To-School photos with her kiddos on Day 1! Then I promptly forgot it in Kentucky when I left for Toronto ????. I hope you guys have better luck than me!
