    I love your dog patterns. Would you have one for a brittany spaniel?? I’m not good enough to take one of your already created patterns and turn it into the brittany, I’m afraid. But I have a friend who has the sweetest brittany puppy and would love to make a crochet pet for her.

    Thanks so much.
