Kira K Designs

Good evening my friends! I have a lovely designer to share with you today. I met this talented lady at the TNNA show a few months back and I just knew I had to share her designs with you! So, here is a bit about her, and some great designs of hers as well. Keep reading to the end for some special limited time offers!

Kira Dulaney is the designer behind K Designs, a line of original knitting and crochet patterns with a streamlined and eminently wearable aesthetic. Kira’s designs include garments and accessories in a wide size range, featuring clean lines and intriguing details that are both interesting to make and easy to wear. Kira has been teaching knitting and crochet classes in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond since 2003.

Lindsey Stephens ~ Poetry in Yarn Round Up

I recently met an amazing woman and wonderful designer: Lindsey Stephens of Poetry In Yarn. She is super fun, and her designs are delightful! She has both crochet and knit patterns, many for sale, and some free as well.

I made the flower from her Flower Necklace pattern. I made it a bit bigger and with a looser gauge than in the pattern because I want to hand stitch it onto a piece of felt and attach it to a headband for one of my daughters. It will be adorable! The pattern was very well written and easy to follow.

Here is a little of what Lindsey has to say about herself:

“Lindsey Stephens is a crochet designer and Professional Member of the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) as well as a member of The National Needlearts Association (TNNA). She has had her designs published in a national magazine as well as by yarn companies, and has taught needle arts and crafting classes in a variety of venues. Lindsey learned to crochet while on a three day road trip when her family relocated from her home state of Texas to Connecticut. When she first arrived in Connecticut, Lindsey owned 2 skeins of yarn. She has been steadily adding to her stash ever since.

Poetry in Yarn is the result of Lindsey’s love of expression and experimentation in fiber arts and her desire to share her discoveries with others.”

Here are a selection of her patterns, both knit and crochet, some free and some for sale. Below are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that the designer has to say about them.

Woolly Wormhead Round Up

Today’s round up features patterns by Woolly Wormhead. Woolly’s patterns are fabulous and fun! They are very unique and beautiful works of art. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely lady behind these patterns last month, and she is just as unique and fun as her patterns. When I met her, she gave me a coupon code for 1 free pattern and another for 1 free ebook. I asked her if instead of using them for myself, I could hold a giveaway to give them to 2 of you. She said yes! So make sure to read through this whole post so that you can enter the giveaway!

Woolly has both free and sale patterns, mostly knit, but a few crochet. I have done my best to put together a nice selection for you. You can find out more about Woolly Wormhead and her patterns here.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something about each of them.

Moogly Round Up

Who loves Moogly? Everyone!!! This week’s round up featured patterns designed by Tamara Kelly of Moogly. Tamara is a superb designer, a brilliant business woman, and a very dear friend of mine. Most of Tamara’s patterns are free crochet patterns, but she also has knitting patterns and some sale patterns. I have included a mix of them all in this round up. In addition to the patterns and other wonderful content on Moogly, such as video tutorials, giveaways, and product review, Tamara also has 2 Craftsy classes, and patterns published in some online magazines. I’m sure we will see Tamara showing up in even more places across the yarnie universe!

Student Loan Freedom!!

That’s right! I am finally student loan free! You see, it was my goal to be able to pay off one of our student loans with our tax return. Doug’s loan has a smaller balance owed and a lower monthly minimum payment, so the goal was to pay off mine, thus lessening our monthly bills more than if we paid off Doug’s. However, when we saw what our tax return was going to be it looked like we would have … Read more

Groundhog~Bowl~Snow~Day

Good evening everyone. We had a very creative and fun couple of days over here At Home. The girls stashed an A.C. Moore bag in Doug’s office, and occasionally they run in there to grab something out of it. A few days ago Vada pulled out this Valentine’s Day monster. It always makes me smile when they randomly decide its craft time and just start getting creative. Of course Kyle loves to express her creativity with fashion! This sparkly little … Read more
