You’re a champ for sticking with this. Me, I would have chucked it out the window long ago. Can’t wait to see how it comes out.
What is it?!
Mama O,
Found your blog through Dawn of Crochet Compulsive. Am DYING to know where you got your progress meters! You can email me at logcabinfever2007@gmail.com
Go, Heather! Wow! It looks fantastically creepy. Warn your sister that she must pose (with the accordian!) wearing this thing, even if she might need a neck brace and two roadies to hold her up!. God, I am so proud of you! Would you k nit me a double-wide trailer after this?
