With warm wishes of comfort and calm, this new Comfort Skirt was offered free for the first weekend. Think of it as a sort of traveling hug.

4/29/2020 Update: ALL TESTS for this pattern are now COMPLETE! A warm thank you to DreamsinCrochet for earning three more complimentary patterns of choice with the #2 spot in Projects, to grandmawithstring who has earned two patterns with the #3 spot, and to sseni who has earned one pattern with the #4 spot. Also I adored the project in the #5 spot so much that thdrudal has earned one pattern as well. Y’all are blowing my mind! Much love and warmth to you and yours.

3/29/2020 Update: We have our first Project Page with photos and notes from our first Pattern Tester and Tech Editor! Thank you to DreamsinCrochet for suggesting a clarification for row 6 that has now been implemented in the new Tested version. You have earned four complimentary pay patterns. ❤️
