This project was a little slow going. We’re getting ready for the mother of all garage sales, and my wrist was bothering me again, so I took it a little easy. I had some pretty, bright yarn left from my #happyyarnmail that I thought would be perfect for this kerchief. Projects completed: 8/101 Yarn: Worsted… Continue reading Pat’s Jamaican Bonnet
