I agree... Dot is such an excellent pattern writer! I crocheted a couple of ponchos from her Bows & Arrows poncho pattern a few months ago...the pattern was so clear and easy to read that I didnt have any problem with it until I crocheted the finishing part of the neck...and that was only for a minute or two.
I saw on another forum that she's recently become published...one of her hat patterns made it into a pattern book or a magazine or something...how cool is that?
