Hello Doni,

I would love to translate your lovely pattern to Dutch and write a blogpost about it. Linking to your original pattern of course. Can you let me know if that's okay? I think my Dutch followers would love to make some Rudolph's for Christmas.

I just love yr ring ornaments - soooo cute! I've tried the reindeer but not sure I did the antlers right - on the right side of the reindeer do the antlers end up on being on the wrong side that is the finished antlers are reverse or wrong side of the right side of reindeer - I hope u understand what I am trying to say. I wan to make more as well as the snowma. Love those ring ornaments - the snowflake is beautiful. Many tks. - Helen
