Shamrock Headband offers holiday style
While I realize St. Patricks day is a few weeks away, I thought I would go ahead and share this Shamrock Headband crochet pattern from www.redheart.com. Although I havent had a chance to try my hand at this pattern yet, it seems fairly straightforward.
Reminder – if any of you have any craft stories, patterns or ideas to share please send them to me! Drop it by the office or e-mail me at [email protected]
