Hello:)
Today is a very exciting day!
My Frederick the Warthog pattern has gone live on Ravelry and Etsy. We had a wonderful test knit on my Ravelry group this past week and the knitters will be linking their warthog projects over the course of today and tomorrow. The behind the scenes work on this project has been doubly fun because it’s the first time that I have had the pleasure of working with a technical knitting editor. Her name is Clare Devine and what a breath of fresh air it has been to work with her. Clare has used her expertise and technical knowledge and produced a really beautifully formatted pattern document with gorgeous detail. It looks just like I had envisioned, right down to the little warthog hoofprints trotting around the page!

Hi dear Linda
Frederick is perfect. You have definitely captured the characteristics of the warthog. Fabulous job!!!
Lovely! Thank you and good luck to me 🙂
He looks so cute! Thanks for the chance!
Frederick is adorable! Thank you for you wonderful design and a chance to win. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Love this little guy. Another great job Linda! Happy Holidays!
Beautiful, as always!!!!! Thank you for the giveaway. Merry Christmas!
I have never seen a warthog before you showed a picture of Frederick. Apparently I am sadly lacking in my knowledge of African animals. And this from someone who wanted to be a veterinarian when I entered college. Sadly, in those days the profession did not welcome women so I became a chemist instead. A good thing because I developed an allergy to cats in my early 30’s. Would love the pattern so I could get a good look at a warthog – do they have warts?
Great pattern. I would love a chance to win it. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
Adorable! Although my only experience with a warthog is Pumba from The Lion King.
He is fabulous!
The cutest warthog ever!
Another gorgeous creation – could you maybe give away some time (for making him) to go with the pattern! Lol, I have 8 projects on the go – I really need the time!
So cute!

Too cute! Congrats on yet another adorable pattern!
We love Fredrick at my house. Warhogs are so “cute”. Thank you for the giveaway.
Oops, I meant Warthogs are so “cute”.
He’s such a cutie! I just started a knitting project, but it would be lovely to try this little fellow out as well. . .
I read through the test knitters thread on Ravelry yesterday and I’ve fallen in love with this little guy. He’s so realistic!
My Mum would love me to knit her very own warthog! She loved learning all about them and hearing their amusing grunting noises when she visited S.A. last April.
He is too sweet, my son would love him!
