Nature's Walk CAL...
#NaturesWalkCAL
Originally released in parts for a crochet along together with Black Sheep
Wools in autumn of 2019, this project was inspired by my surroundings as I
take my daily walks with my dog Bertie. This blanket is a beautiful and
relaxing make designed to be soothing and fun.
