This was a free pattern (Ravelry [...] So today started off early as both DH and I got up and got going to head out to The Fold for the annual sale. Dawn and I wanted to be first one’s in and hurry up to get our purchases done and get out. If you haven’t been there for the sale it’s total [...] So I couldn’t get the red-eye reduction on the and still catch her – who me? look… I think she thought it was one big Wooly Bully cat toy that she just loves.
