The girls and I went on a little adventure yesterday afternoon.
Doug was working on reading to children with his public speaking class. They wanted a practice audience before some of them got to go over to the elementary school to read to a whole class full of little ones.
I thought I would share the chart for my Swirl Heart design with all of you!
The link up there in the first sentence gets you to the pattern on Ravelry.
I like to end all my patterns with a few line drawings to help the user plan their colors.
The first one for Kat (Faerie Frock) is a cute little drawing of the garment being worn. The second is more of a drafting kind of take, which will really help with color planning.
I’ve been knitting and crocheting like a mad woman lately. I want my patterns to the best I can make them before I post them.
But in the mists of all that, I got a little commission from one of the lovely ladies at my grocery store.

I made this for my wonderful mother for Christmas, and have been meaning to share with you. So here it is!! I wish I had taken better notes, I didn’t write down the gauge and my parents are currently in Germany, so it’s kind hard to check. Uggg.
I used TLC Cotton Plus yarn with a 4.5mm hook. Any DKÂ or light worsted weight yarn should work.
I seem to have had a not~so~bright moment. I did have many process pictures to go along with this tutorial. So many. I moved them into the pattern I had written in a Word doc, and then deleted them from my photos. Now I can’t get them into Blogger, and they won’t re~save as photos. I really have no idea how I managed to make this mess. I’m going to blame the bad cold. It seems the only photos I have left are of the finished object. The patterns should still be fine, I just prefer to give you lots of helpful photos along the way. Sorry about that. :^
Here it is with the flap up so you can see the screen (like my cardboard Nook?)
Well, I guess it’s going around. Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea was rather sparse on Sunday due to people being sick. It was just me, Jenn (yea!!!) and Jenn’s daughter Katrina.
Ingrid acquired a new mug. I fell in love! It’s even a little dimensional. 70’s fun!
I’ve been debating starting a Facebook page to go with my Etsy store for a bit now, and I finally got around to it today. Take a look!
I have improved upon one of my old patterns. The Tea Cup Bunting pattern is now a stand alone Tea Cup.
