@Robin, ditto!

I will have a look in the morning, I am sure I have some.
I would love to have you round for a pot of tea and we could both have a play.

Becky, I checked out my notes on this pattern and I have made the large size and the small and I have not made mention of any discrepancies.
I am sorry not to be more help.

I am happy to share, I was given the contents of a drapery section of a small country shop. It posts very cheaply.
Let me know what you are after and I will see what I have.

I am so gutted! I went to wash the marker out of the little white bubble today and ended up with a horrible yellow mark where the blue marker was! It is currently soaking in napisan and white vinegar. If it doesn’t come out then I shall have to make another one and remove the ribbon from the ruined one to reattach it.

There once was a designer from New York
Who loved foie gras and pulled pork

I can’t think of a good starter

I’ll hunt for a rhyme
