Hi Sana!
My name is Courtney, and I must say, I think I’m one of your biggest fans. Since 2015 I’ve started to learn how to crochet and it was because of your amazing tutorials, I am at the level I am today.
Recently I made this dress using Baby Pink & Marine Blue and here is a photo of my finished project.
