Tear / Rain Drop
Introduction
Let me just relay a few warnings before attempting this pattern. Firstly, I’m the only person who has made it; I’ve made it twice, so if you find any errors, I apologize for it in advance. You’re welcome to leave me comments if you find any errors (or if you just feel like leaving me some ;-o ).
This pattern is fairly crude and sort of awkward, but once you start with it, you get the point and can go off on your own, I’m sure. If you have any questions, please ask, but I can’t guarantee a helpful answer. Okay, now that my disclaimer is complete, here goes nothing:
