Since all the events for which I had tickets were cancelled or postponed, today’s blog post is a simple one. I hope everyone has a happy St. Patrick’s Day and stays safe through this crisis. There are over 30 free patterns posted in the past year of this blog to keep your hands busy and your mind occupied. Crochet away!
