Stansberry Square is the 12th square in the Riverwood Square Crochet Along Series! Make several of this square to make a blanket or use it for other projects. Enjoy!
This go around I hooked up the Stansberry Square while waiting for my son to get off work. In away I have reverted back into an old habit. I used to working on WIP’s, UFO’s, or other small things while waiting on my kids to get out of school. However, that all changed about 6 years ago when we made the decision to home school them. Well now that I am currently picking one up from work I thought why not get a few minutes of work in. I mean I am just sitting for about 15-20 minutes.
