    Hel­lo Amy, I just want­ed to let you know how tal­ent­ed you are and how blessed I am to have found your page. My grand­son Noah (2 yrs) is Olaf for Hal­loween and my daugh­ter want­ed me to find a beanie I could make for him real quick because they were going to a trunk and treat tonight. I searched you tube look­ing for the per­fect Olaf for him and came across this one you made. It took me about 4hours (accu­mu­lat­ed time) it turned out awe­some!
    Thank you for post­ing.
