#StitchAwayStress Survey
Make lemons into lemonade!
Make a lemon pillow of your own and make one to brighten someone else's day. Designed by crochet artist extraordinaire Twinkie Chan, it's cuddly and squeezable, and like the lemon stress ball Twinkie designed several years ago, a great stress reliever.
Lemon Blanket Section Pattern
When life gives you lemons ... crochet one! #StitchAwayStress this April by crocheting a cute lemon blanket section. You can donate this section to Warm Up America! to help bring awareness to Stress Awareness Month. This is a fun project that you'll crochet with some basic colorwork or intarsia.
