We’re moving right along into Week 3 of the Southern Diamonds Wrap! Why am I releasing early? Because I’m a sucker for my ELK Studio Crocheter’s Group! They are so ready to get started and with it being a long weekend…..why not right?

I hope you’ve already joined the group to see all the wonderful color combinations! It truly is inspirational to see the “personality” come through each of the projects! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. I have a “Summer Sale” for the holiday weekend that I think you’ll enjoy!

Annie’s has a great price right now for the yarn at $4.99/skein!

But you can also find the yarn at JoAnn , Michael’s and Amazon” too!
