Alan Dart patterns

[smokeyp81]

I finally broke down and ordered some of the patterns on Alan Dart's web page. I ordered the Leprechaun, Snowmes, Initial Imps and the Witch and Cat. I have been wanting these patterns ever since I knit the Gnomes....I had been trying to buy the back issues of Simply Knitting that they were first published in, but wasn't having much luck. I finally found Alan's site and found that I could order them much cheaper than trying to get the magazines on ebay.

 

Now, I just wish I could find the yarn that the pattern calls for in the flesh tone. It is so hard to find a good flesh yarn that isn't too pinky or peachy.
