Featured Crochet Instagrammer
This week’s featured crochet Instagrammer is Elza van der Merwe AKA elzavan912 who I believe lives in South Africa. Her tagline reads “crochet, nature, family, life”, which tells us a lot about what matters to this crafter as well as what you’ll find in her pretty Instagram feed. Her feed is filled with lots of lovely crochet photos and a few of those other things as well. This week she brings us:
