Many thanks to Wolf Crochet for the lovely pattern that I have attempted to knit. Originally, it was done with a crochet and I have adapted it for needles following recommendations as I feel more confortable knitting. The easist I have done done for years. You should have seen the knitters at the Gallery where I volunteer, they all wanted to do the same one. I think we have started something there.

Thanks again.
