I still have free tickets available for the show in San Jose! There are many kinds of arts to see--performance, music, and of course visual things like mine! It is 21+, but if you or anyone you know is interested, send me an e-mail and I'll add you to the guest list!

Pattern Testers Needed! (Crochet phone wallets)

I need a couple of volunteer pattern testers (no pay, but free pattern!) for my new Simple Phone Wallet crochet patterns! There are 2 different styles with 2 different sizes, Bifold and Trifold. I believe they will be Intermediate-Beginner level, as they require chains, double crochet, and working in the round. Bifold will additionally have working in the round/figure 8; Trifold will have increase and decrease.

Coming soon will also be a Tablet-Phone-wallet, which will be somewhat similar to the Bifold wallet pattern, but probably for adv. beginners. Please let me know if you are interested in that as well!

I'm still writing the patterns at the time of this journal posting, but as soon as they're ready I will e-mail them to the volunteers. The Bifold should be ready by Feb 10, and the Trifold by Feb 12. The patterns will consist of charts with direction-boxes; feedback for that style of direction will definitely be needed as well, since I'm hoping to make all of my clothing patterns available the same way.

If you are interested, please send me a message or comment on this post! Thanks in advance!

Time sure is slipping by! I know I haven't been posting any projects or progress pics, but I'm most assuredly working on them! Probably too many, if it takes so long to get a picture...anyway, today I'm writing to express that some of my patterns are getting price changes. It's mostly the early ones, which were priced QUITE unfairly to me, at a time before I truly understood the value of my labor. They are rising to around half of their true value, and in perhaps another year, will rise once more and completely. Lucky those who have already purchased them at the insanely good price.

These are the projects that I completed in 2013, slideshown in chronological order. Some of them never made it to the normal blog, so I did a quick photo shoot in order to include them. Unfortunately it can't take into account projects in progress, or life events...but it still seems like a fair collection.

The good news: I've finished family vest 4/7!
