Yay! That is so cool to hear! I love that it has held up well. I still remember searching for a cord - I studied Louise’s hat and decided a shoelace would be the best option. When I finally found one the right color and a long enough length it was like hitting the jackpot, lol!

Project Name: C’s July Goal Sheet
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: Every month, a group of us come up with goals (though I think we may be going from a trio to a pair…) and I make little goal sheets for us to check off and keep us motivated… I say these are “reproductions” because the art on them are pieces of clipart I look up and try to recreate!

Prompt: July Battle- Reproduction
Team: Team Columbo
Project Name: Crochet Coozie (Frisbee)
Project Link: (coming as soon as I have internet access on my computer)
Brief Description: This is a (poor) reproduction of the free Lion Brand pattern (L0577) for a crocheted frisbee (they call it a Coozie). While I changed the yarn, and messed up somewhere along the way so the design is a bit wonky, it’s still an attempt at reproducing the pattern.
