Notes

Testing complete
Here is a preview of my soon to be released latest pattern, Dear Grammy: Tessellating Stained Glass Afghan. I cannot wait to show it to you in its entirety! To say that I am pleased with it is quite the understatement. I have been working on it for the past several months, and to finally be at this point is just more excitement (sorry spell check, not excrement) than I can bear! When you see this pattern, I hope it blows you away. I really put my everything into it as I was making it a tribute to my crochet mentor, my Grammy. I really hope I have made her proud with this one! hearts The pattern will be released, hopefully tomorrow, I’m just waiting for my internet to fully upload all the video supplements. EEK!

Gonna eventually need testers for this afghan

09-17-2020

this will be dedicated to my Grammy. I hope I can do her proud. So far, the pre prototype piece is going better than expected. Testing isn’t too far away. Very excited. If you are interested in testing, follow along my Dragonbird’s Nest group, that is where we will conduct testing.

official yarn selection is happening

The actual afghan will be used in a fundraiser. I am so sad that two of the most amazing people I know have received the C word news and I want to help them raise funds for the portions that insurance does not cover. It will only be a small piece, but happy to do what I can. Grammy would approve.

I managed to sell this afghan and every cent is going to y dear friend who has stage 3 lymphoma. She is my neighbor, boxing buddy and is the kindest soul out there. I know Grammy would be proud.
