I hurt my elbow a few weeks back and the pain has been getting gradually worse. I have been trying to rest my arm as much as possible - only crocheting for a few minutes at a time, so my carefully planned schedule has taken a bit of a knock!
I added a few rows to the Port Shepstone centre to make a matching mandala. The Mandala is not part of the Seaside Winter Blanket and is an optional extra.
