Hi Joan! Yay, I’m glad to hear you are participating. Just keep an eye here on the blog. I’ll be posting every Thursday with new instructions. Look for one tomorrow.
hi my name is Yazmin and I am 11 years old.I would really like to do the poodle. I already know how to crochet and look forward to trying to do this project.
I am going to new york pretty soon to spend some time with my elderly mother,there is no computer at her home or anywhere near there, is there some way i can get the pattern to take with me so i can make one for my mother who is going to be 87years young. I know she will love for me to make her one since i have made others for her and she goes nuts. Thanks Marie
I have crocheted for a long time and I would like to get the whole pattern at once. Thanks for starting this. Rita
