Well here we are……if you are reading this that means you want to convince me why this upcoming planned paid pattern should be given away for free. So….let’s have a little fun and hear what ya have to say!
Here is a sneak peak!
Here are the “rules”:
- You must leave a comment on the blog.
- You must leave a like AND comment on the ELK Studio FB post! It’s the pinned post so should be easy to find!
- The convincing time frame is until October 31st. There must be at least 1,000 likes and comments on the FB post and 1,000 comments on the blog for a total of 3K actions taken. Since there are over 34K ELKies, I think this is a totally doable goal. Should it not be met, no worries, it will come out as a paid pattern shortly thereafter!
Have fun everyone!
Another beautiful creation Kathy! Would love to have it free, but I will certainly be purchasing if not offered for free. Thanks for all you do.
I would really appreciate it being free!
All of your designs are wonderful & it would be amazing if this one was free… but just as special if it were paid. I know a lot of work goes into your items. I can’t even begin to design a crochet piece!
I absolutely love your patterns. Thank you so much for sharing your special gift with us.
I enjoy all of your creativeness. Thank you for always being so generous with your talents.
Very pretty would love it
It’s beautiful!
I so enjoy your patternd and the hard work you put into them. I would greatly appreciate a free pattern cal. I love when everyone has the opportunity to appreciate your awesome clothing patterns. Thank you for hosting a chance for this pattern to be ftee.
Kathy, thank you for sharing your gift of design. I would love to get the pattern for free, but it is to beautiful to pass up even if it is a paid pattern.❤️
I appreciate that you’re making us work for it 🙂 You are an amazing designer, & kudos to you for offering us the opportunity to earn this beautiful pattern <3
Love the patterns. I would get a copy of them either way. But do have to admit free would allow for another skein of yarn to be able to purchsed.
This looks awesome- would be perfect for the holiday!
thank for the opportunity to possibly win a free pattern….Happy Halloween!
You make the most beautiful clothing! Truly a gifted designer. You deserve payment for your hard work but thank you so much for the opportunity to make it free.
I love the design and color if this item. Hope it becomes free.
Awesome we need more snuggly patterns.
It’s a beautiful design Kathy! Thanks for the opportunity to get the pattern free❣️
Can’t wait to see what it is.
Beautiful pattern as always! Would love it as a freebie, but also know what goes into what you do! Very generous, Kathy!
Beautiful new pattern! Love the color of that yarn too! Thanks Kathy!!
I just love all of your amazing designs, I just wish I had the money to buy your amazing designs, how ever the economy being the way it is right now it is a no go, BUT I do love FREE, anything free is just AWESOME, and if this Gorgeous Project is a Poncho it would be even better, because I need a Poncho pattern, for one of the Ladies in my Church!!!!!!! Again I LOVE ALL OF YOUR AMAZING DESIGNS!!!!!! HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!! Cindy Garlotte
Always love the freebies, although I realize a lot of work is involved in creating the pattern. You are the best Kathy!!!
This looks so comfy and warm, just the item I’d love to wear! I agree with others who’ve said that you deserve to be paid/appreciated for your work. We, your followers, do appreciate your work & while eager to take advantage of your kindness, hate to “steal” from you, but would take full advantage of receiving this as a gift out of your generosity and kindness. Thank you for taking pity on us! Lol!
Would make a great holiday accessory — i’m thinking metallic yarn…
Love the sneak peak here’s to hoping it is free.
It is beautiful!!! I hope it ends up a free pattern because money is tight. Lots of October birthdays including my grandsons on Halloween. If it is paid I will just have to put it on my wish list for now. Either way will be totally okay! Thank you so much!!
This is a very beautiful pattern! I think it would be nice if it were free because then many more people will make it and share their photos with us all
Love this pattern! I would gladly purchase this pattern whether free or not! ❤️
Kathy, this is such a beautiful pattern. It would be a perfect gift and I can say it was a free pattern from you.
I love ❤️ looking at all the patterns you have designed! This one is beautiful. It would be great free for a limited time.
So beautiful!
I love this!
This pattern is beautiful and looks so fun to make; please let us try it for free!!
What fun this would be to make – and to wear. A lovely pattern that would be especially nice to wear here in Florida. I appreciate the designing process and thank you for sharing your talents.
WOW… Another wonderful project. I have many of yours already and will happily pay for another. Thank you for inspiring me.
Hi Kathy,
You deserve to be paid on all your beautiful work and teaching us all….because I’m disabled and on a fixed budget, sometimes I can’t purchase a pattern and other times, it’s months before I have a few dollars left over to buy one. Just know, whatever you decide, I’m grateful either way. Just sharing your “gift” with all of us, is a blessing to me. Another gorgeous pattern. If it’s a paid pattern, it will be on my list of “must haves”…eventually or sooner than later, either way I’ll love it and make it proudly one day!. Thank you so so much for all you do!
Either way your patterns are spectacular. Love you designs & variety. Thanks for your offer. 😊🎈
Free patterns help spread the word about the skill of pattern makers. I generally don’t purchase from an unknown craftsmen. Once I do I sometimes get hooked 🙂
Love all your patterns! Would love for this to be free,even if for a limited time! Like so many others Social Security doesn’t go very far!
It looks awesome. I LOVE that color
Really pretty pattern!
Beautiful. Would be the perfect gift for my sisters!
From what I can see this is a nice garment that I would consider making for Christmas presents. I am not in the position at this time to buy though so free would be a Godsend! Can’t wait to hear how this turns out. I love your patterns so much I have a whole file just for them~
I have made seversl of your patterns each getting rave reviews. This one is going to be a winner too! Love the stitch.
I love this! It would be nice to have it for free even for a limited time but for sure I will buy it, too. I am in love with your patterns!
This is gorgeous! Quite frankly, I believe that you deserve to be paid for your patterns, because of the time & effort that you obviously put into designing them & writing them up. However, if, out of the kindness of your heart, you do decide to give this one away free, there will be many grateful people, including me!
Beautiful. Time for another before xmas.
Beautiful! I like the open stitches. I agree with so many… free limited time and then paid. You do beautiful work.
This looks beautiful and if you don’t get enough comments I would be happy to pay for the pattern.
I love this poncho pattern. You are the best Kathy.
It’s beautiful, and I certainly won’t be mad if you charge. However I would be THRILLED if it were free 😁
Another lovely design. Free would be great.
I like your pattern and would make it. I’m sure there are many like me , I am on a fixed income and can’t afford to buy any patterns, I’ve seen some that I would love to have but just can’t afford. Some may wonder how I get my yarn , people give me what they don’t want. I would love to have some good quality , beautiful yarn. I have even dreamt that someone gave me expensive yarn. Bad,huh.
Like Vivian said, please make it free, for those of us paying attention, for say a week or two, and they go to paid. The early birds get the worms. (ie: those who pay attention get the free pattern) Besides, my retirement check doesn’t go as far as I’d like. Don’t make me chose whether toI use my money for yarn or patterns.
Its absolutely beautiful. Why Free? Because you are very generous and kind. Either way its beautiful and I am tempted to make one. \o/
Beautiful! I think this is a pattern I want whether it is free or not. 🙂
whenever i need inspiration or a pattern, I first look at your site. I have made so many things with your free patterns and would love to make this one for my daughter in law. thanks!
I like it.
It’s a very beautiful pattern!!😍😍😍
The garment and yarn are both gorgeous,The same with all your creations, the same as with all of your other vreations, Kathy!
I could make good use of this pattern for holiday gifts!
I want to make this for my friend’s mother because it is beautiful!
This is adorable!!
You’re a super duper giver of your marvelous crochet patterns anyway. You should add this one free, too. I’m one of your #1 fans.
Am I number 1000? This is a lovely pattern and it’s fun to see if you can reach the numbers for it to be free. Good luck to all of us!
We still have about 780 comments left to go…….
I love this pattern ! I’m thinking it would make a great Christmas gift ! Free pattern happy birthday to me !!!!!! Lol
Okay, my opinion is this: It is gorgeous and you deserve to be paid for your hard work but you could put it up for free for a week and then charge for it. Then we would all be happy! BTW I do love this one!
I love the look of this – both the pattern and the colour. I could see me making this for myself as well as for gifts. I’d be happy if it was free, but I would buy it if it ends up being a paid pattern
This wrap is beautiful.
Love this pattern…you have such a talent. I tried ,only once, to design something….failed horribly. Thanks for all your hard work.
Looks like a wonderful little shawlette. Would be a great time from me gift!
Absolutely beautiful!
You are a talented designer!
Great pattern! I can see me wearing this!
Wow! This cape/poncho is absolutely beautiful! I love the color and think it’s perfect for this design. I’m all for freebies but I’d buy it if it were a paid pattern. I haven’t made too many things just for me, but this one would be all MINE!!!
This pattern should be Free because you are just that kind of Wonderful. And we love you and your patterns. Thanking you in advance 🤗
Love the color and yarn waiting for the newest pattern release.
Tis lovely! What a fun way to engage with the Elkies!
Being gifted a free pattern of yours is a great honor!! I adore your work and am a loyal follower of yours!! To be honest with you, if this doesn’t reach its goal, I am ready to pay for this pattern!! Thanks for all of your amazing patterns and for sharing your talent!!
GORGEOUS!!!!! 😍
Beautiful! Love the color too!
This is so beautiful! You are so talented and we greatly appreciate your generosity and sharing your knowledge with us.
This is a beautiful pattern you have put so much time and love into. I appreciate all the time it takes to design , write, crochet and have tested and tweek some more. It will make beautiful gifts for the holiday season.
I would love for this to be free, if not I still will get it.
Gorgeous garment.. Can’t wait to make it up!
Awesome!! Would love to have it as a free pattern. Thank you!!
Yes please it’s beautiful
This is so pretty. Wonder what pretty yarn could be used for this pattern.
Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Love ❤️ your patterns, your color choices, and your blog. Would love a free pattern! Thank you.
I think this is a fabulous design. Can be worn with plain shirts to dress it up. This is the perfect solution for weight loss, it will still fit.
Looks beautiful. Let’s do it!
just in time for the holiday parties, so of course, free is good! either way, thank you!
I would love to make this for myself, which I rarely do. I usually gift everything I make. Thanks for hopefully offering this for free!
Love this pattern! Yarn and color too 🙂
This is super cute! Perfect for fall!
Hi Kathy, all your work is beautiful n it takes lot to make this n share with us
May you stay blessed for being so very generous
Lots of love from down under
Maria
I like items that are unique. A shawl is a shawl is a shawl. A wrap, is a wrap…DC is dc… I want unique, where someone would say ” that’s something I have not seen before”.
Free, Yes, 3K, hope so..if not, I’ll pay for it, and put it in my to do pile of patterns..
I became part of this group a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! Your patterns are fantastic! What could be better than free?
I love your pattern!! You are so creative and talented. I am more of a collector of patterns than a Crocheter because I just love the designs and dream of crocheting. Ha. Ha!! I can’t wait to add this to my collection.
Curious what the pattern will be. You’re generous and creative so hoping us Elkies exceed your expectations so we can make it for the holiday gift giving.
Love it! Would love to have the pattern free. Thank you
Another beautiful pattern! Hope we can achieve getting it free!
I love the color and the drape of the yarn.
Oh Kathy, you are the one that got me over my fear of using lighter weight yarns. When you came out with the Southern Dimonds poncho CAL I couldn’t resist trying it because I thought it so beautiful. Now this one also is very beautiful. I’d love to make one even if it’s not a free pattern.
Thank you for all the hard work you do for this group.
Love it 😍
Beautiful Kathy! What a perfect choice for Fall xx
You are an amazing designer and I adore all your work. Thank you for everything you do!
This is beautiful. This type of poncho is my favorite,I love the rounded bottom.
Ohh so Looking forward to seeing this come out hopefully for free *wink*
Please make it free. It is beautiful.
If a designer offers free patterns then I try to buy through their affiliate links, . . .Win for both of us. 😀
I would love to make this for my bfs mom. Can’t wait til it comes out. Paid or free.
This would look so good on me 😊
And I love free hehe and my 70th birthday is in two months.😁
Looks like a pattern I could easily and quickly make to stay warm this winter! Love it!
It looks beautiful, as are all of your creations. I get so many compliments on the pieces that I’ve done. ☺
I think a free pattern would make a lovely eary Chrostmas gift for your faithful Elkies!
Free because you love your followers. And most of us are more likely to buy a pattern after we’ve tried a free one.
I love all of your designs. I really like this one. I would love to make several for Christmas presents. And one for me. 😊
Looks beautiful ! I love free patterns since I give away most of the things I make. Use them as my “mission projects” since I thank God for giving me the gift of crocheting
This is absolutely beautiful Kathy! Awesome if free especially with Christmas approaching. CAL would be a blessing.
By giving the pattern FREE it will encourage those who are on a fixed income/strapped for cash the opportunity to make and enjoy this beautiful garment!
Wow! This is absolutely beautiful! Love to get it free but will buy it anyway!
It looks a lovely pattern, I joe you can. Make it available free or very reasonably priced.
Beautiful, would love for it to be free. You have the best designs. If it’s not free will still buy it.
Just the kind of poncho for which I have been looking! Love your patterns.
Absolutely beautiful and a poncho I would make. Reasonable pattern fee or free. I would be happy either way, but free would help my limited resources.
So pretty
I have a heaver poncho and yet to make myself a shawl or lighter weight poncho- this one has caught my interest….don’t normally make myself muck…
Ooh, it’s so pretty! Really would love to have this pattern!
Love this pattern and the color
This will look get over a turtleneck.
My friend is a speech therapist at several local nursing homes. I crochet shawls and ponchos that she uses as bribes to get her patients (who have suffered strokes) to do their speech excercises. This looks like it would be very popular and a lot of lovely Ladies would do the required work to earn this shawl. Thank you for your kindness in all your other free patterns I have already made and given. ❤️
this is a lovely addition to any wardrobe
Your patterns are always beautiful and so well written. When you make patterns free, it is so appreciated. This would make a lovely Christmas present or to wear to holiday parties. It would be wonderful to have this as a free pattern so more crocheters could enjoy making this before the holidays. Since so many people are on tight budgets at this time of year.
Can’t wait to share the love with this beautiful pattern! Free or paid, it’s a keeper!
Love the looks of this new pattern!
Would love to see this pattern as a free pattern! I love your pattern and would love to have this one as a free one. 😊
I have always admired your work and would love to finally make something for myself!
I think your patterns are amazing! I have made several both paid and free patterns. I know how much work goes into creating them so I don’t mind paying for what I know will be a well written pattern. However, who doesn’t love something for free?
I would love to see this as a free pattern. So many more people will enjoy it. I like it enough to pay for it but not everyone can spare the money.
I love your patterns! I’m hoping to start one of your cals when i’m done with some orders. Thank you for your previous free patterns and I’m looking forward to try this one.
Many gifts would be made from a free pattern.
Why free?! Why not?! Getting into the spirit if Christmas early!!! I have never bought a pattern, money’s are super tight and I rely on free patterns to keep making wonderful items! I appreciate you!!!
I would love to make this poncho for my sister. I love all the Elk Studio patterns. They are very well written making the patterns very easy to follow.
I would love to see this as a free pattern . I’m sure it is as lovely and the pattern just as well written as all of your items!
This looks Gorgeous, The Design and the materials you used to create this.
Love this. You are so talented. Would love to make this.
This looks like the weight poncho I need in Florida. I would make this.
I buy patterns I can’t live without or want to try, but I celebrate the generosity of free ones!
Just……because it’s lovelt!
I love it , will you be doing it as a CAL
Hi Linda,
If it ends up being a free pattern, I’ll most likely do free.
Kathy
Looks great. Please make it free.
Thank you
I am more likely to make an item if the pattern is free. I’m on a fixed income and yarn can get very expensive.
It is a beautiful pattern. I would like for it to be free, but would certainly buy it if we can’t convince you otherwise, Love your patterns.
You should make this a free pattern because you are soo awesome!
I just love your patterns and would really like to try this one too! Beautiful! can I ask what the yarn is?
This is beautiful
So pretty. Hope it will be free
Lovely design as always. I love the colour you chose for this capelet.
Everyone loves your patterns…Everyone loves free..win win!! Thanks for sharing your talent with the masses!
This is too lovely not to share and we can’t share it if it is not free. Free the poncho to share with the masses!!
Love your patterns.
Love the color.
Hi Kathy! 🙋🏻 It won’t be long before you’ll have the requested 1,000 👍🏼Likes & Comments and we’ll have another FREE Kathy Lashley pattern to make! Thanks so much for sharing your talent & passion.
This is beautiful and ‘it’s the season!
It looks very nice. As a free pattern I could make this from my stash of yarn; if paid I’d have to admire it from afar.
This is the best time of year for a free pattern so we can spend our money on an awesome yarn for a great gift!
This should be a free pattern because it’s so dadblame cold here in North Carolina right now! Lol.
Maybe free until Christmas? Then, all of the folks who received this as a gift and/or the folks who saw an Elkie making it would get to know ELK studio and become an Elkie & customer.
Very pretty! Will try it either way. 🙂
Love the design. You will make a lot of people Merry this holiday season.
It sure is BEAUTIFUL! I love it!!
Beautiful color. You know we all like free but paid or free doesn’t matter.
This is a beautiful pattern! Thank you so much for all you do!
Yes. Please make it a free pattern. It is lovely.
Oh, yes!! We’d love to receive this beautiful pattern as a gift from your hands to ours!! Appreciate all that you do to entertain us, help us, and encourage us in pursuit of the craft that has given you so much pleasure.
I would love to get the pattern free
My first shawl was yours a few Christmas Val who enjoy. Hope this also would be free helps to encourage yourself to achieve telling other yes it was free but ” look what I did”. Thanks iin advance.
I love the pattern and the color.
This isn’t a beautiful pattern! I know everyone would be extremely thankful if it were to be a free patter, but many of us would also pay for it if needed! Thank you for everything you do!
That is supposedly to say, “This is a beautiful pattern”! I didn’t read it before I hotbed submit!
Would love to see the full picture and free pattern would be awesome!
This is a beautiful pattern. I am retired and would love it to be free…
Thank you Fran Wozniak,
fmwozniak@gmail.com
I think this pattern will work up nicely in both solid yarn as well as variegated colors. Self striping yarn would be awesome!
Beautiful pattern Kathy! Would be happy to make it either way it turns out!
Oh ends 10/ 31, seems like a treat for Elkies and future Elkies, love the color, need ,more ideas for gifts this would truly work, starting with a treat!
very pretty, thanks for all you do for everyone
This is such a lovely pattern. It’s definitely something I would make and something I’d wear. If it’s free that would be great. If not, it is a pattern I’ll purchase.
Kathy,
You are such a loving and giving person whatever you decide to do will be right. You have given our little group such a wonderful Home and platform. You are constantly creating new things for us. Thank you for all you do. Do whatever is best for you. It’s a beautiful shawl.
Sent a little note to Santa to let you know that it should be a gift from the heart to all of us Elkies as a free pattern. He said that it will be light and comfortable for his southern homes and extra warm for his northern homes. Santa totally agrees that something that is made from the heart should be given to the heart.
Beautiful!
I think it should be free because it’s so close to the giving holiday, besides, we love your patterns.
Well, I think if it’s free, it will get a lot more shares on Facebook, leading to more favourites on ravelry, which is great for you and a bonus for us cash strapped elkies who would love to make this gorgeous pattern 😀
Always looking forward to new patterns you design! Thanks for sharing your talents! Good luck, everyone.
Thanks for the giveaway! Perhaps I will be the luck one!
I think this would be a perfect Christmas gift for anyone, but I’m thinking of my stepmom who just found out her cancer is back. This would help keep her warm while she’s in the hospital.
It’s beautiful!!!
This is a beautiful piece and I’d totally welcome the opportunity to get the pattern for free. I donate crocheted prayer shawls and wraps and this would be a great addition to my go-to patterns.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! Must have!!! Pleeeeez!!!
I love all your patterns , This will make a great gift for the Holidays . Thanks for all your hard work designing crochet patterns for us ELKies xxoo
It’s beautiful and I think it should be a free pattern as a Christmas gift to the ELKies😃
Because you are a kind and gracious person, lol I don’t I’d buy it anyway.Love it😍
I want one. It should be free so everyone can have something as beautiful as this
Oh my this is gorgeous and looks like jewels….Every woman loves jewel but not every woman can afford them. Stunning!
I r one of my fav designers!
I would rather pay a little bit for a pattern, because I usually can’t afford to pay the price for the yarn that sponsors you. I do feel you have a right to be paid for most of your patterns. And I am on a very fixed income but why make your income so fixed as well?
I would like to make this. Thank you giving us opportunity to get this for free.
This looks to be something perfect for holiday get-togethers and it being a CAL would just be icing on the cake. All of your patterns are beautiful and truly appreciated whether paid or free. Sometimes the only thing that holds me back is the expense of the yarn.
Very pretty — paid or free!
I would love to have this pattern for free because I am on a fixed income and retired.
Love this paid or free
This looks so pretty!
This is super cute!!! We the people who crochet, always need to have our hands moving with hook and yarn to stay in proper health, mentally and physically. When making something to keep the body warm, it adds to the physical health factor. Being one who crochets yourself Kathy, I know that you can understand the importance of this, and seeing how much you love your ELKIES, you want to help with this FREE PATTERN!!!
Looks so lovely!
Now that looks so cozy and soft!
As people are starting thinking about Christmas presents, they may not be able to pay for the pattern and buy the yarn. Free may be the way to go for now.
Please make it free! It is just toooooo delightful not to have one. After all I have spent on yarn lately getting ready for the holidays, my husband has just told me that if I spend any more on my crochet right now that he is liable to have a heart attack. I don’t enjoy wearing black because I have cats and that is just not a good combination. Please make it free so that I can honestly tell him that it did not cost him a thing.
lol…. Well let’s hope the ELKies pull through with all the comments and such so you won’t have to wear black.
I’m running of binder space and places to hide yarn for all these pretty patterns.
What a beautiful pattern. I will look forward to making it!
Another lovely pattern! Thank you for all your hard work in creating these beautiful things for us to make.
Gorgeous! It would be fabulous if the pattern were free.
Can’t wait for you to make this pattern available to us for free. You know you want it to be free too.
Maybe…..but we all to have work for things sometimes….lol
This is gorgeous!!! It would be sooooooooooooooooooo wonderful if it was freee and you would be sooooooo wonderful and kind to give it away!!! Love your patterns!
Very pretty
Such a beautiful pattern and color! Perfect for gift giving!
Looks like a great pattern! I’d love for it to be free!
This is such a pretty pattern!😊
Awesome lovely design and colour, and thanks for all your hard work you do for us.
Beautiful pattern
It is so beautiful we would all appreciate your generosity very much
Love love love your ideas
Words can not describe. Just beautiful can’t wait for the privilege of making one. Color is wonderful.
Awesome !
Awesome !
Another Beauty! Saving on the pattern would be used for yarn for Christmas gifts.
You have always created beautiful work! I love seeing everyone’s finished projects.
I love that pattern. That’s not a good reason for a free pattern but I run more of them of and hope to have more hours to knit, crochet whatever. That w/b nice for this kind of weather.
Count me doe free 🙂
So beautiful. What a great way to dress up jeans and a T-shirt. On a budget is always helpful.
I had bought some yarn quite sometime ago, because it was on sale, not knowing what I would make with it. This would be the perfect pattern for it!!! Absolutely stunning!!
I would really love to make this item as I make items and give them away particularly to folks in hospitals or nursing homes and this looks like a practical but elegant item to make and share.
I love the color, perfect color for the holidays!
Love it! Your mind must be creating 24/7! Thank you.
Love this!!
I would love to make this but do not see how to get to the pattern.
It’s not available yet Phyllis. This post is to decide whether it will be a free or paid pattern. Click back on the post and read the rules so you can see what you need to do.
Kathy
This should be a free pattern because you are such a generous person and would want everyone who wants this to have it. Plus it’s gorgeous!
Such a gorgeous color and pattern. Would love to add this one to my collection.
This is beautiful!
How awesome it would be to share such a lovely pattern at no cost for all your followers! That would take away any excuse not to give it a try!
This is gorgeous!!
Excellent!
Look into my eyes….look into my eyes….. the pattern will be free…. I will count backwards from 5 and when I reach 1 you will wake up and the pattern will be free. 5……4……3…..2…..1!!!😀😀
Ha ha ha…..I love this reply!
Did it work? 😉
It will if we can get 3K interactions….ha ha ha
Trying to figure out how to comment. Love it!
You just did…..lol
This would be fabulous for the warmer climate that I live in. Since I do not like heavy, bulky wearables this would fit my wardrobe to a tee.
That’s so beautiful! I would really appreciate it being free! !
I would as well. Ditto!!
Is this the blog? if not, where is it?
I think the pattern should be paid as you deserve it…
Hugs
This is absolutely beautiful Kathy!
If anything this is a must make for my winter 2018 wardribe in South Africa,
