Thank you so much for your patterns, especially the Free Pattern of the Doves which I’m going to knit 2 for my sons wedding next year.
I brought a few patterns of yours and the one I like best is the one with the babies feet.
I knitted a few and one of my friends chose one and hung it on her baby girls pram.
Love my knitted Dove, didn’t take any time to make.
Love your patterns
