Convention: The Aftermath

Convention: Day 3

This is the cardigan that I made my sister for Christmas. I was really proud of it and she apparently wore it every day until about a week ago when someone stole it out of her bicycle basket while she was riding along. Tragedy! So I’ll be making her a [...]
