Rocket Nap Buddy CAL, Update

rocket nap buddy

Well, today was supposed to be announcing the winners of the Rocket Nap Buddy CAL, but no one has posted completed photos yet. Maybe I underestimated the amount of time it would take to complete it. I’m going to give it a few more days. Keep working on your project, and I’ll keep checking Ravelry for someone to post a finished project. In the meantime, stay tuned for this week’s new ebook, Farm Animals to Crochet.
