Happy Valentine's Day my crafty friends...and welcome back to my blog!
We often hear saying "Love you to the moon and back" to express the strong affection for another person. Well today I want to take You to the Moon, with this fun crochet design - a colorful Spaceship!
If your kid loves and dreams about the outer space, you really cannot go wrong with this project!
I crocheted the spaceship with the warm and soft Lion Brand Wool Ease. This easy to work yarn comes in so many beautiful colors! Choose your own color palette, or check the material list below to see what are the colors I worked the spaceship with!
