for more years than she cares to
count. When she’s not drinking coffee,
stomping her acreage in rural Kansas
with her neighbor’s five dogs, or caring
for diaper-wearing chickens, she likes
to turn yarn and fiber into something
awesome.rep^asindicated< 1< 2< 3< 4< 5< 6< 7< 8< 9Reduced pillow chartStitch key
