 Me & Millie   Pattern for Laprobe:  Laprobe

   I got this pattern from my Aunt Vivian. She's one
of those people you feel honored to know because of her affection
for others and the way she feely gives of herself, and she's a very
talented woman who both crochets and knits!  My passion for
crocheting is evident in the many creations I've done through
patterns (like this one), handed down from her.
