Thank you very much for this sooo beautiful metallic pattern!

I am glad you like it. Enjoy working the shawl!
This really applies to all your patterns: I love being able to download/print the patterns! But I request respectfully two improvements to this process:
1. The download files contain all the photos of the project, not just the primary photo. The close-ups and alternate angles are always helpful, but aren’t included.
2. It would be most helpful if any ancillary items, like charts and schematics, were included in the download file as well. I recognized they can be downloaded separately, but if they have to be kept separate, putting all the pattern files together in one zip file might make it easier for the crocheter to have the files all in one place.
With thanks,
Rebecca
