My copy of Embellished Crochet (edited by Cari Clement) arrived today!
It’s gorgeous.

The center of the bag says:
‘Mom’ when you look at it one way,
flip it over and it says: Wow
So, […]

Is it ever warm!
I am going to make one with strands of yarn held together, to see how that goes.

Christmas is just not Christmas for me, unless I make at least one doll - and preferably more than one! :)
