I finally made something for ME! After I wrestle it back from my daughter, it's all mine~lol After all the color pooling posts went viral, and I discovered that it just wasn't in me to actually PLAN a color pool with the moss stitch method, I started playing with my Neon Stripes yarn from Red Heart...It worked! I got an amazing pattern! Now...what to do with it? Kind of wide for a scarf...not wide enough for an afghan...Hmmm~I know! I can make myself a bag! And that's just what I did :) Follow me for the free pattern~ |
