So sorry for the delay in posting, due to several problems I will not bore you with I will try to post
the corrections to several patterns...
    1. Row 7 of the Abby and Allen Sweater should read..
Allen Sweater.....Row 7....Skip 2 dc, * 2 dc in each of the next 2 dc,  skip 1, repeat from * until you have 26 sets , skip 2 dc, end with dc in top of last dc or turning chain.
    Hope this helps , and so sorry for not proof reading pattern before posting.
Will post other corrections soon.

Finally...

   Hello friends and followers of this blog, after almost one year of trying to get back in here I think I have made it......IMPORTANT.... someone is selling our patterns on Etsy  and Ebay....I know we have posted these patterns FREE and for CHARITY  AND PERSONAL USE... why anyone feels they have the right to sell our patterns is beyond my imagination....I am debating taking down the blog, must give it some thought....
