    Thank you Jennifer! I wondered if you did any knitting projects, as I love your crochet projects! Nobody teaches and is as easy to follow as you are, and I'm having fun with all this! So - glad to know there are knitting projects on your site as well! Thanks again!

    Thanks for this pattern! I've got 4 cakes of the Sweet Roll yarn and wasn't sure what to make. I'll be making this cowl for my granddaughters. Simple and portable--perfect for taking with me to appointments, etc. Thanks again!
