Charmfully Chunky Flower & Earwarmer Crochet Pattern

Although I prefer warmer weather, I'm surprisingly enjoying putting together my "winter wardrobe"! There is something exciting about rummaging through cupboards, and re-finding those lost gems consisting of coats, sweaters and chunky knits you previously stored away.

 If, unlike myself, you live someplace other than Australia, please tell me where you call home in the comments below! I'm always fascinated and intrigued by how far our little family spreads across the globe.

But seeing as yesterday was the first day of Spring for most of you (according to Google Analytics), you're probably in the happy process of packing winter away, and welcoming spring, sunshine and the beach with open arms!

I'd love to know, what's your favourite season?
