Good morning and happy spring! At least the calendar tells me its spring. My snow shovel and boots aren’t so sure. 😉
I won’t lie – I’ve got some serious spring fever going on. It just keeps snowing! And while I seriously adore spring snow and moody skies, I am determined to start my vegetable garden out of doors with a mini green house. I really do love these days when the flies can’t survive because one day it’s 50 degrees and the next day it’s below freezing. Keep your hopes up – summer is around the corner!
So without further ado, and in the spirit of spring fever, here are our favorite summer-time crochet patterns.
Enjoy!
