Buccaneer Bootie Crochet Along!

1 week is almost over! It's time to share your photo's to enter to win 5 free Mamachee Patterns!

You'll have all night today and all day Wednesday (linky will close 11:59 p.m. Alaska Time on Wed the 14th).

I'll select 4 of my favorite photo's. I'll be looking for a couple different things...creativity, quality of bootie, quality of photo and # of likes on the photo's. On Thursday I'll post the photo's of the four winners and you'll be able to vote for the winner. I'll announce the winner Friday.
