I'll link the pattern once I relocate it. My wife wanted one after I made a few this past year with a single color. I think it came out pretty good this time. Practice makes perfection.

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owl-crochet-doily

I’d love to get the sun doily pattern.

There are a couple of ethical concerns here though.

I’m unclear on whether the original creator would be compensated in this case.

It’s also a question whether the creator might be in Russia, which is embargoed for trade by most European and English speaking countries. The owl pattern is posted on a Russian-based group which would fall under embargo.

The pattern is available in English and Russian, but the family name is of Ukrainian origin. So, it’s possible she could now be in Ukraine or any number of countries other than Russia. I don’t see a creator profile linked that would clear this up.

Based on conversations I've had the embargos didn't affect buying this item. I could still be wrong though.

It may have squeaked through, but no Internet sales from a Russian-based site should be ok.

I googled the embargoes when I was debating buying and there was nothing outlining this kind of purchase.
