Crochet Blog Link Love

I spent much of this week reading the great posts that everyone was doing for Stricken und häkeln Blog Week hosted by Eskimimi Makes! I enjoyed it so much that I created a Pinterest board just for sharing the best photos from these posts. In addition to those posts, I read lots of other crochet blog posts this week. My favorites were …

Something Special
