Like Evelyn, I was shocked, pleasantly, when the pattern designer herself emailed me back! I was so impressed - and felt so silly once the instructions were explained.

Instead, you shared a little kindness, wisdom and laughter to our day... which, of course, is so your style.<br /><br />Thanks for ending it, as always, with a cute cuddly critter. You're the best.
