The first project that called out to me from the new and totally awesome book “Little Crochet” was the “Sock It To Me Sweater Vest”. I love little boys in little sweater vests, but finding pre-made vests beyond the color navy is seriously difficult. If the vest looks a little small, that’s because it is. [...]

I immediately fell in love with their upcycled snowflake ornament idea and headed to my local Savers to find the needed supplies. [...]
