I would love to try this some day but right now I am having enough trouble. I am working on a dbl cr ripple afghan for my daughter's boyfriend. It is 4 shades of blue.
I'm sorry, I posted to pintrest before asking. I didn't see your note. I shall take it off.
HI Kathy, you are more than welcome to put this in pinterest. I have a new copyright, but have not added it to older patterns.
Is there a way to make the dragon fly a different color then the rest of the square??
yes there is! I am about to post the revised pattern for the 12" version of this one as well as revising this square to reflect the color changes. I think I should have it posted late tonight or tomorrow morning.
