Hi Megan—
I purchased your brachiosaurus pattern a couple of weeks ago, and I have to tell you that I have NEVER, in 53 years of crocheting, seen a pattern that was this perfect! Detailed instructions, excellent photos, thoughtful tips along the way. Just wonderful.
Also, before retiring two years ago, I was a college professor teaching technical communication, which means that I taught college students how to write instructions. So when I say your instructions are perfect, I know what I’m talking about!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. From now on, when I need a special pattern, I will look at your site FIRST to see if you have anything that suits.
S.K.
