Ready for the Games and I've Made a Friend
Up until 12:20am last night making the rest of the stuff for the Scottish Games to be held here in Bakersfield.

This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
