patterns are not available online
Submitted by erin on Mon, 2010-01-25 08:38.All our patterns appeared in our print magazine, and should someone wish to dip into the archives to make something, all that is needed is to purchase that issue. Patterns are not available for individual sale. Call 800-865-7240 and specify the issue (in this case, May/June 09) to find out about availability. If it is not available, there are many online vendors who carry old issues, such as yarncollection.com and yarnmarket.com.
Diamond Back Snake suggestion
Submitted by paralgl64 on Fri, 2009-12-25 01:59.I live in New Mexico and made one of these for one of my granddaughters who lives in New York state. Before I finished the snake, I put some craft bells inside the tail and then finish stuffing it. Makes it sound like a "real" diamond back snake!
Christmas Presents
Submitted by plentyofyarn on Wed, 2009-12-23 09:21.Dear Brett,
Thank you so very much for creating this wonderful snake design. I just finish stuffing the snakes last night. I made one for my son and one for my daughter for Christmas. They are fascinated with snakes and I am sure will be thrilled with this very large snake come Christmas morning! Thanks again for the great inspiration!
Sincerely,
~Veronica
