Instagram Takeover Crochet Pattern Roundup: Sonya Blackstone from Blackstone Designs (@blackstone_designs)

On the weekends, I’m inviting some of my crochet, knitting, and crafty friends for a takeover of my Instagram account so they can share their talents with you. Since you can’t easily share links on Instagram, on Sunday night, I’ll share a roundup including links to all the patterns and projects featured in the takeover. So, are you ready for this week’s #undergroundcraftertakeover roundup?

This week’s guest is crochet designer Sonya Blackstone from Blackstone Designs. Sonya can be found online at the Blackstone Designs blog, as well as on Craftsy, Etsy, G+, Instagram, Pinterest, Ravelry, and Twitter. She’s also the organizer of the Crochet Charity Drive.
