April Showers bring May flowers.

I cannot wait for spring to arrive and with it all the blooms and colors that make spring such a special season.
The yarn that I used for this design is called Purple Rain and I couldn’t resist the chance to make a reference to the seasons with the pattern name.

This pattern is so hard to put down; I guarantee you will always be looking forward to completing just one more row.

The texture this pattern creates looks very intricate but in reality it is just a game a decreases and increases that will keep you interested and make you feel your socks are flying off the needles.
