Hi Sierra!  My name is Emily and this is my first CAL!  I love your energy and creativity on Instagram!  I live in Southern California with my hubby of almost 20 years and our teenage son.  I teach first grade and absolutely love it!  I learned to crochet from my grandmother when I was about 10 years old.  I have picked it back up over the last few years and haven’t stopped!  I am not a pattern writer but I love following the patterns of creative people like yourself!  I look forward to creating with this community!

So happy to have you here! This is my first CAL in the format, so hopefully you can join me for future ones that will hopefully go a little smoother 😉

 

Hope you are enjoying the pattern!
