Hi Maureen,
it doesn’t matter where you live – the pattern is a digital download – once you’ve paid for it, you receive it automatically.
This is incredible!! I wish I knew how to knit :( I am off to try to convince my knitting friends to do a trade with me!
Your patterns are adorable :) I love the owl sweater!
Hi, the sweater is fantastic! I am from Germany and I would like to know if the instructions are avaible in German too?
Or did you published the insturctions in a book, which is avaible in Germany too?
Thank you !

I just downloaded my pattern and I am so excited. I can’t wait to start. Saw this sweater a while ago on Ravelry and passed it by reluctantly because it didn’t come in a size large enough to fit my ample bosom. Then I saw that additional sizes had been added and I couldn’t click “Buy now” fast enough!
Thanks ever so,
Lynn
Hi, I have just bought your pattern and can’t wait to try it. The only thing is that I cannot seem to find what length of circular needles I need to buy. Can you advise on this, and also what size of two ended needles do I need for that cable.
Sorry if I am being daft, but I am a newbie!
This is amazingly adorable. I am trying to commission one from my sister who knits – I do not know how!
I couldn’t figure out why the Yarn Harlot’s post looked so familiar to me, until I finally read the credit below the photo. You can see, too: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2011/12/31/a_sweater.html !!
Just uploaded pattern and very excited to knit two owlet sweaters for my girlies. Where do you find the cute eye buttons?
I get eye buttons at Hobby Lobby all the time. Michael’s probably has them. Any hobby-crafty store. And they come in several sizes too.
Hello I have just cast this on and I an so excited. I bought the pattern but now I can’t seem to find a copy of the download I am sure I put it in my ravelry purchases, is there a way to get the download again please? Thanks again I love your designs.
I want to make this, but have no idea how much yarn to buy as here, yarn is sold by weight not length :( can you offer any advice?
forgot to say please and thanks. my mother would murder me if she knew!
