Where to Start When Learning to Crochet, Left Handed

The text part of this post is the same as the post from a couple of weeks ago. The main difference here is that the links go to videos that are for those learning to crochet left handed.

Hat Grading

I love designing hats and grading them too. I only have a handful of hat designs, with a new one coming out later this year. Hats are for everyone, not just one age group. They make great gifts, are usually practical, unless you live where the temp never dips below 50F or there is aContinue reading “Hat Grading”

I’m here to follow up and share how each of those pieces turned out and where theContinue reading “Blocking Day!”

Cost of Pattern Publishing

Currently to buy one of my patterns costs the purchaser $6 US. Of that I receive about $5.50, sometimes less because of the different fees involved. Let’s say I sell 100 copies of that pattern and I received $5.25 for each copy. For a total of $525. Sounds pretty good for a four page patternContinue reading “Cost of Pattern Publishing”
