Hermosa muñeca. Gracias, muchas gracias por compartirla. Deseo ya ponerme a trabajar en ella.
Thank you so much for your patience to teach the less talented people like us.
From the way you have written it makes it so easy to understand. You have finally
made my dream come true on making a pretty doll like Nancy.
I am becoming much more knowledgeable about the versatility and use of amigurumi skills, due to your posts. Thank you so much. I am elderly and have been knitting and crocheting since very young, thanks to a clever, yet uneducated and devoted grandmother. I now share my knowledge and skills with a church based social craft group of elderly people who do and make wonderful gifts and clothing for Charity. We pool our left over resources, such as crochet and knitting yarns and small balls of yarn are absolutely perfect for this skill of Amigurumi. Thank you your patterns are a joy to read, I would love to eventually make each and every one. Pamela
Beautifull!!! Loved it!
Wat ‘n schattige pop! Die ga ik vast eens maken voor m’n kleindochter! 😀
Is wonderful ! Congratulations, you are very talented! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Best regards !
