  1. Thank you so much for all the free patterns, I greatly appreciate them. Have a blessed weekend.

  2. Thank you Krista, all these patterns look so lovely. I am not sure which one to start on. I crochet Knee Rugs for our
    District Cats Welfare. I am now looking at all your beautiful patterns to try something new. Something that will catch the eye and sell well, and there are so many. I have kept most of the others you have sent me.
    Thank you once again
    Kind regards
