“It’s been great fun. Now my doll’s dress is trimmed. Thank you so much, dear Crewel,” said Margaret as she snipped the last thread.

“You’re very welcome, Lady Dear,

’Tis fun for me, you know;

And while I’m skipping in and out,

You’re learning how to sew!”

Sir Bodkin looked very happy and very proud of his artistic subject.

The Crewel One stepped to the table and into the tomato pincushion. In his eye was hanging some of the pink wool thread.
