Now that the Christmas gifts have been given out, I can post my review of this pattern. I made one each for my sons, my husband and myself. I was bummed that mine had to sit up in the closet until they…
This necklace is a knock-off of one I bought at my local Fashion Bug. (Which, sadly, is going out of business. Why are all the good stores closing? Boo. Hiss.) Anyhow, I was happy to get a few bargains and some great…
