Crochet Along Block 7

Welcome to block number 7! Hard to believe that we're so far along already, time flies when you're having fun. Or when you're furiously frogging your crochet back and starting all over again. Block number 6 seemed to cause a lot of that (at least for this Crochet Belle- ed) so you'll be pleased to know that this month's block is simple as pie. It's a lovely bobble stitch with just one row repeated after row 3 so it's lovely TV watching crochet! ENJOY!
