by This is Carrie on April 6, 2011

I’ve been in love with Linda Permann’s book “Crochet Adorned” since I picked it up last summer so when I got the chance to be part of  the Blog Tour of her new book, Little Crochet: Modern Designs for Babies and Toddlers, I was ecstatic.  The first project to catch my eye was the “Sock […]
