Our Next Crochet-Along Project - Mile Cross and Lavenham Blankets

Our next project in our Thursday morning Crochet Alongs is designed by Rosina Plane.  Inspired by her childhood memories of embroidery, she has created two beautiful blankets inspired by traditional cross-stitch samplers, both in overlay Mosaic Crochet.
