Pattern Description:

This frog is based upon a true story that really happened on my friend Jennifer's farm, whereby her cow was frightened to near panic by a croaking bully of a bull frog.

Desert Garden Farms is a small cottage producer of carded, dyed, & spun fibers using fibers form their onw animals and those small suppliers around the US.

They are currently building a larger homestead for the family and the critters and are doing all of the owrk themselves, using environmentally friendly techniques where possible and their very own sweat equity, even the children.

My desire to see the project done inspired me to offer the pattern with 2/3rds of the proceeds going to Jennifer and her family, towards the building of the new homestead.
