What are you waiting for? Reviewed by Mrs Heather B P DiBella on 2011-09-29
Worked this one up in less than two days. While I am a fast crocheter, one of my novice friends remarked, "Even I could handle that!" It's absolutely beautiful when it's done, too, and I've received a ton of compliments at work. I didn't use Homespun, though. I used Jiffy because I know my limits and I have a lot of difficulty crocheting with Homespun. But whatever yarn you choose, this will look lovely!
