Being asked to social distance and stay home means I don't have to come up with an excuse to crochet and watch TV (currently alternating between 2 Broke Girls and Elementary) - yep, I'm definitely a homebody!
I'm also finding I'm catching up more regularly with friends - so much easier to video chat than spending all that time getting ready to go out 😄
Keeping with the theme of this post's title, I'd love to share a little cloud pattern with you - if you're sharing it on Instagram, please tag me @handmade__byani or use the hashtag #handmadebyani! If you have any questions about the pattern, please leave a comment below.
Enjoy! x
