UPDATE.....

OK so my photo dump is still in need of links. I will adjust that later today.

In the meantime I am working on 4 My Little Ponies from the new show. I have three rainbow dash and one big Mac. I will post photos and link to the wonderful artists that created and shared the patterns I'm using! I look forward to updating more frequently! And hopefully helping a few friends who said they would like to learn!
