Abby from NCIS



It seemed only right, being a total NCIS freak that I should make my favourite character, so here she is for ya'll to make! It's a first for me that I've combined crochet and knitting, so the knitting pattern part might not be perfect as I don't have a clue when it comes to knitting. If you try out the pattern let me know how you get along and if any adjustments need to be made :)
