I think it’s safe to say that everyone loves rainbows. They are a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight, and they always seem to bring a smile to people’s faces. There’s something about the way the colors of the rainbow blend together that is just mesmerizing. And the fact that they are a symbol of hope and promise makes them even more special.
I think one of the reasons why rainbows are so popular is because they are a reminder that even after a storm, there is always sunshine on the other side. They represent hope and new beginnings, and they give us the strength to keep going even when things are tough.
I’m so glad that rainbows are a part of our world. They make it a more beautiful and hopeful place.
To celebrate the release of my new book, Crochet a Rainbow, I’ve come up with another rainbow design for your kitchen – Rainbow Towel Holder.
