TESTIMONIAL from Catherine Henderson
Joey Lea Baird of Jo’s Crafty Hook has created another stunning pattern she called ” The Changing Seasons Centerpiece.
She has created this centerpiece using basic stitches with several different finishes.
I was so excited & grateful for being part of her test team!
I worked on my version for a weekend This amazing centerpiece works up so fast, and changes with every new row. The pattern works great for either a left or right handed crocheter. With comprehensive easy to understand instructions and photos for reference.
I had so much fun making it, that I found myself rushing through my housework so I could sit down to work on my creation. I used Value Ball Kringle Sparkle Yarn 8ply, in fall colors, with a 3.5mm hook. You can find this fantastic pattern!
