I scoured the internet for a pattern-nothing even came close to this one. The pattern is beautiful, easy to follow and you give so much advice and reference points to make this husky the best it can be. And purchasing it was SOOO easy and fast! Once I found this pattern I didn\u2019t want to wait, and thanks to the speedy billing-I was done in like less than 4 minutes. (I love the 3 for one deal\u2026off to buy another!) Thanks so much for such lovely work! Can\u2019t wait for new pups!! *ahem, maybe a bearded collie?* _3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations, Mallaurie, I\u2019ll email you to find out which pattern you\u2019d like as your prize!
