Is there a pdf of this pattern? Here in New Zealand, we can not get anything sent from the US. I’d love to be able to participate in the stitch-along.
I just did a live chat with them because I had the same question. They informed me that the pdf version won’t be available for purchase until June of 2022:(
Andrea is correct. At this time, due to printing costs, we’re making this pattern available as a PDF in June. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
I have my pattern and 25 count lugana. I think I will try sulky threads for this one.
