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.
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 have decided to focus!! I have so many knit and crochet designs floating around in my head, and I do have the skill to turn those designs into patterns. Every once and a while I write one up and put it up here and/or on Ravelry. Considering our current issues with coming up with over 10 grand for a down payment on a house, it seemed as though this might be the time to buckle down. Ravelry offers a great opportunity for me to find many talented yarnie folk who will test a pattern instead of paying money for one. I have started testing through my Yarrrn Club group over there. So far I have only started testing one, kind of as a testing test ;^) *ETA, I am now running my tests in a secret group on Facebook.
This is the pattern that is currently being tested, in knit. Tomorrow morning
So I’ve been wanting a dragon for a year. I asked for one for Christmas last year, but they’re kind of expensive. I know you’re thinking, ” where do you buy a dragon?” It’s not that kind of a dragon. I’m talking about the talk to type computer program. You know, the one they advertise on TV around this time of year. Well, I found one really cheap on O.co, so I bought it for myself.
We’re both still figuring each other out, so for the time being, it’s not that much quicker than typing; however, I’m sure as we get to know each other, it will get faster. It’s still tons of fun though!
Anyway, this past Sunday was the Yarrrn Club meeting at InsaniTea. I brought along lots of sock monkeys who needed eyes and mouths. As soon as they were able to see, they fell in love with the giant InsaniTea sock monkey, and had to go sit with him. They were very sad to leave, but they are looking forward to their new homes in Texas.
On Monday morning the girls saw the new additions to our sock monkey family and had to start the quality control. Vada just had to see how many she could hug at once.
