Knitting Pattern for Illusion Chanukah Miracle Blanket/Wall Hanging
Designed by Sandra

Sandra is the owner of the Etsy store A Cache of Jewels

Below Sandra tells us a little bit about her Etsy store and herself.

The name, A Cache Of Jewels, came from being a Ballroom and Latin-American competitive dancer and making the costumes and jewelry with Swarovski crystals. I love things that are unique and hope to bring this to you. I specialize in knitted and sewn items for the discriminating dog and dog owners, as well as everyone else! I have a web site with the same name. Please feel free to visit any time.

I design all my own patterns. I'm especially fond of the Illusion knitting because of it's unique holographic properties. I'm inspired by my love for my Jewish heritage. I try and transfer that through my work with a Judaical theme. Also, my love for my dog Cookie. Because of her I design and make a lot of items for dogs and dog lovers and a portion of my proceeds of my sale of these items goes to the English Springer Spaniel Rescue.
