“Vicki’s Teatime” (Was A Gift To Mythunderbird) :)

Kahud48 · “Vicki’s Teatime” (Was A Gift To Mythunderbird) :)

Back almost a couple of years ago now, I surprised Mythunderbird

with this pattern I did up just for her

It went into a comfortghan that a group of us made for her.

Remember, I wrote this way back when I was just beginning to do up patterns, so if you find any errors or corrections that need to be made,
just let me know.

ENJOY!
