Hello and welcome to a Very Canadian Tat-a-long 2026!
Every year leading up to Canada Day I publish a pattern. Usually I do a pattern spread over 3 days and ending on Canada Day. This year will be slightly different- the first 2 days will be the pattern and the last will be a variation of that pattern. For any needle tatters who find the lock stitch painful I want to assure that lock stitches are only on day 1. Also, I must warn you that I am likely to be posting later in the day as I am working and one of my dogs is getting a conjunctival graft tomorrow. So its likely to be a long day.
