Makayla Harrigan: Ada and Butter

In The War That Saved My Life, Ada is exploring and learning nearly everything for the first time. One of the first things that catches her eye, when arriving in the country, is a horse. And when she arrives at the home where she will be staying–there is a horse named Butter. Ada teaches herself to ride the horse and loves it because it gives her the opportunity to move more freely. She also learns how to knit and sew and uses these new skills to make some close friends Christmas gifts. So for this make, I made a stuffed felt horse. I also learned to knit, crochet, and sew when I was little. I used this knowledge plus some trial and error to make something I have never made before.
