A Word from Jojodabom
Hey Ya’ll I am Katherine aka jojodabom! I am a designer, mom, and emergency room nurse. Even though I have only started publishing patterns I have been designing since I was 16 and honestly it is my happy place.
Fall in the North Country means harvest time in the farmlands scattered throughout our beautiful countryside.
The big crops here are Corn and Hay, and no the hay is not true wheat, but it is what inspired this lovely cabled square. To me it is a piece of my home and I love to share it with you all
