I would love you to review the Graph Crochet Leisure Arts Book. I’ve always wanted to try doing this. Good Luck Ladies !
Verna says
I think this would be interesting to read a review on. So many different types of patterns to be made with t-shirt yarn.
As far as my favorite, I do really like the bucket style as well, but the purple bag I think is fabulous. Sorry I couldn’t find the name of it to make sure.
