Hey Maggie…how do I add a picture to my profile…I am not fond of being a generic dude LOL..
I tried through my profile but there is no way to change pix.
Thanks
this is really pretty but i’m having trouble with the first three rounds. having trouble with it coming up with the right loop number.
Hi Patricia…the pattern looks a bit complicated especially when you read it..
Just use a highlighter for the MAIN repeat and sticky notes to hold your place.
I just made it and this helped me…
Beautiful pattern too.
Hope this helps.
Camilla

Hugs all and TGIF.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It was nice and quick and came out perfectly! I see a lot of these getting made for Christmas, not just as gifts, but for myself as well! Perfect for a handmade Christmas setting! 🙂 Thanks again!
