Welcome to my Knitting Designs.
By L.T. Marshall
I have been creating knitting patterns for many years for my
own benefit and finally decided to write them down for sale.
I occasionally share free patterns on my website.
I would say they're suitable for someone with intermediate
skill, although a beginner may be able to do just as well with
a little more time and patience.
Have fun creating these collectible characters for your
family and friends.
You can find my creations online, but I am now an author
by the name L.T.Marshall. I have a YouTube channel under
my new brand - One Creative Family.
