Let's Take A Crochet Chill Pill 💊

Because having to stay inside all day, it's freaking us out. So we are in dire need of a Chill Pill, so let's make one. At least a crochet chill pill version. We need the minimum amount of supplies to do it and its super quick. Because sometimes, if you have so much time and don't know what to do with it, making something gets you right back on track! Like I said in the video, be kind to one another. Spare a square if you have to. And check on your neighbors daily.
