Announcements/New Patterns
Rock Solid ($6 via Ravelry or Love Crafts). I was thrilled to design again for the Lots of Socks KAL, which recognizes the beauty and uniqueness of individuals with Down Syndrome. Sales of this pattern and my other self-published sock patterns enabled me to donate $801 to Down Syndrome International. Thanks so much for your support!
