Crochet Promises

Day 10 of 365

By Ellie HoovsPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

a promise made,

like lace,

it looks so pretty,

but it’s full of holes,

like a new year’s resolution,

woven together with

cheap

acrylic

yarn

it’s all tangled on the inside,

a cobweb,

handmade,

a wedding ring

made out of crochet
