2024 Happy Scrappy Cat Project
This page will evolve as the design collection grows and the CAL (crochet along) continues throughout 2024. Scroll down to select each cat pattern by image.

Of course, one of the first questions was, "Mama, can you make us one?" I wanted to just buy an official… Continue reading Oggy Oggy
