ReplyDeleteThank you so much, this is lovely x
ReplyDeleteHello, I'm attempting this dragonfly, it's my favorite from all of the ones I've seen online so far.. I am kind of muddled where the top wings are supposed to attach to complete, do you happen to have a video tutorial on this? It would be so helpful to me and to those who learn in a more visual way.. thank you so very much for making this available, I love a lot of your patterns :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It is just what I needed :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. It worked perfectly with my Radiating Dragonfly Afghan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern. I was able to make all 4 wings without breaking off by removing the hook and catching the loop from the back. Used one black strand to embroider eyes then tie at back and cut for the 2 antennas.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add that dragonflies don't have antennas, but still real cute.
ReplyDeleteHello Burnetta.
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad to hear you like it. :)
