  1. Thank you so much for these patterns! Whilst working this one I wondered if you could tweek it to make a moon. Another pattern I would like if you could do it would be an umbrella, please

  2. I too would like a silver fern and maybe a koru. Making a baby blanket for an Austrian baby who’s parents’ 2nd home is NZ.

    1. I’ve been trying with a fern but it’s proving to be tricky! A koru might be easier, I’ll give that a go ☺️
