Relive the mischievous charm of Norman Rockwell’s But Wait 'til Next Week (Boys Smoking) with this full-coverage cross stitch pattern. This iconic painting, originally featured on the cover of The Country Gentleman magazine in 1920, depicts two young boys in the middle of an adventurous first attempt at smoking. As the precursor to Rockwell’s Retribution, this piece captures the carefree thrill of youth—just before reality sets in! Paired with Retribution, these two patterns make a delightful series, showcasing Rockwell’s storytelling brilliance and keen eye for relatable humor. Perfect for stitchers who love classic American art, this detailed pattern will bring Rockwell’s timeless narrative into your home.
