Love how that cardigan is going, you've inspired me to start one, which has been in my list-of-things-I'd-like-to-make for far too long!
jelly Jan 2023 1:24pm, 24 Jan 2023 4,591 posts	0 jelly It always feels so awkward and I can’t read it like knitting. I do love some crochet blankets though. There’s a big pattern I saved from years ago I’d love to make which is why I always say I haven’t given up! It just takes so much more concentration!
