They are adorable going to try I’m left handed
I so appreciate that you are actually giving the patterns. Its is so deceptive when they say free patterns and you go to the website and you can’t get them unless you subscribe for a year. Integrity is a wonderful thing. Your little lion is precious. I will take me forever to do it right. I have a new grandgirl on the way and after a month I have not been able to complete one little toy! Oh well has to happen sooner or later.
Thanks again for the pattern. What can I do for you? I will forward your posting to others.
