It was fun to make! However, slip stitching each little round on itself was not awesome. I did this one like that as the pattern calls for. On the next one I plan on leaving a tail and whip stitching them together.

Did that make sense?

Yes it made perfect sense! I have done a tedious pattern like that before and I too decided to put it together with the tail in the end. Thanks for that heads up and tip.
