This morning I woke up and heard birds chirping! That must mean spring is getting closer, right? I personally cannot wait for the warmer weather, sunshine, and feeling of newness that comes with spring!
Another thing I really love about Spring is that the weather is perfect for wearing layers. Layers are my favorite! I’m sure most crocheters can agree.
