DAISY DUFFLE
This bag was
designed using the fabulous Daisy square
pattern that was designed by my friend Krochet Krystal. I'm seriously
addicted to this square, folks!
And best of all Krystal collects these
squares made from folks all over the
world. She then assembles them
into afghans and donates them to sick
kids! She's got one of the biggest
hearts I've ever seen. You can get
the pattern from her through her blog in return for one measly
little square in return. Yep,
that's all she asks for and it's for a
great cause! In addition to
helping a very worth while cause, you'll get
to make this really cool bag because she
was sweet enough to let me post the
pattern on here after I showed her the
bag :o) See? I told you she's got
a huge heart! Thanks K!
