WISHGHAN CAL – Week #7 Endless Pools

WISHGHAN CAL – WEEK #7: Mayflower Water Buffalo

Mayflower is a water buffalo who made an unfortunate wish. She wished to wade in endless pools of water. It was that very wish that tore her from her dearest companion, Lady Porcupine. They haven’t been together since.

If you haven’t had a chance to read my children’s chapter book, WISHWEAVER, you can find it at most online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, IndieBound, Target, and Walmart! Written for ages 7-9, WISHWEAVER would make the perfect gift for the special kiddo in your life. Especially ones who love adventure, bugs, and magic!

“The West Wind is strong and has a mind of his own when he wants to. I think my wish was the last straw for him. I regretted making it the minute I heard his loud roar of disapproval. Then, he swooped up all one thousand pounds of me, and away we flew.”

Excerpt from the children’s chapter book, WISHWEAVER, by J.H. Winter

While this Wishghan CAL posts will always be here for free on my blog, for convenience, I’ve also created one giant 70-page PDF file for those who would like to purchase a copy of all the files together in one place along with a photo tutorial of connecting the squares and doing the final border. No searching through posts necessary! Plus, it’s over there now, should you want to work ahead of the group rather than wait for each week’s new square. You can purchase this pattern for a small fee here on Ravelry. It is also available on Etsy and LoveCrafts.

Make sure to post your finished squares/rectangles on social media:
