I saw a cute pattern for a hanging basket on Pinterest and decided to check it out. Turns out, she had re-written the pattern into English from the original website, which was in Norwegian, using Google Translate. While I'm grateful for what she wrote out, hers turned out huge and then I modified it enough on my baskets that I wanted to save my notes here on my own blog. If you need any help with abbreviations, check here.
And I wanted to say that now that they days are getting shorter, it might be helpful to have a bright lamp handy! I've been trying out one from Brightech, a magnifier floor lamp. I (and my kids, sigh) love that it can be dimmed and switched on and off right at the lamp head. If you're in the market for a helpful lamp like this, check it out!
And now, here is my my version of the pattern!
