It’s a Wrap: The Chuppah-Cabra is Done!
The Chuppah-Cabra is complete! After a mad four day knitting binge, it’s finished and delivered! Yes! It came very close at the end, there were lots of late nights, early mornings, pots and pots of coffee, some tea, some tears and eating eggs-in-a-basket at 3:00 am. See how it all

Something new is sprouting….
