Hope everyone is enjoying the pattern and CAL. As always, if you need help, please contact me via comments here, or email, but if I am not around at the moment, I encourage you to interact with fellow CALers on my Ravelry Board or my Facebook CAL group. We also love to see photos of work in progress! Another suggestion for help would be the wonderful tutorial photos and VIDEO put together by Iris van Meer on her blog. The video is in Dutch only but for those who need a visual it may be helpful no matter your language. Thanks, Iris! And just a reminder that Yarn Packs in the Suggested Scheepjes Stone Washed XL are still available at Deramores.
