COMPLETED: 84 GOAL: 649?
Been very busy at work and decided to start back crocheting with some easier Pokemon. I figured I would do the Castforms, because no one has done anything past the first form. Here are my first two of the four. I will post the others as soon as I finish them.I started with the pieces that are the same for all the forms and then I listed the pieces unique to their forms under their names.
