There aren’t too many more rows to go. Then it will be time to start adding the partial pickled ladies around the edges and then find the perfect border fabric.
Baxter patrols the windowsill even at night, particularly on windy and rainy nights.

Dear Baxter,
I hope you’re getting paid for these photos shoots. Watch out for exploitation of the Hoomans!

I don’t remember if you ever said where the pattern can be found at – or is it one that will be coming out? I love it. What will the finished size be.
