I want to avoid the Kentucky #=winter as long as possible so we are spending a few more days on the west coast before heading #home. In the meantime, I’ve decided to focus all my current #knit and #crochet #designpatterns to #spring #patterns only! It’s going to make for a happy #throw or possibly a #tablerunner. #whatchathink?
