             Come help celebrate this spring chicks birthday!


                                       We are going to play a party game!


         Try to guess how many crochet patterns I have written!!


I have written quite a few. I'll give you a little hint, I have 2 books with 20 patterns in them and one leaflet with 5 patterns and I have been published in Crochet World Magazine about 5 times. Also working on another 20 pattern book. Plus all my patterns in Etsy and Ravelry and all the patterns I haven't finished writing yet and I have many patterns that have been retired or made over.  So try to give me you best estimate of how many I have written since 2007 and the person that comes closest will win 60 digital crochet patterns. I will give you a code to my Ravelry shop and you will be able to take a full year and download up to 60 digital crochet patterns of you choice! Wow! what a great prize!


                     You must make a purchase in my
                                               Etsy
https://www.etsy.com/shop/SandysCapeCodOrig
