I am now on Ravelry!!!!

If you have been reading my blog or listening to my babbling on about my recent crochet designs, you would have heard about me listing my crochet designs on Etsy. Recently, I have been looking at listing my patterns on Ravelry as well and have decided to take the plunge. I am now listed as a designer on Ravelry with a store that allows you to download the pattern after payment is made via Paypal. 


To recap, here are the 3 patterns currently available for sale on both Etsy and Ravelry:

I have been trying really hard to destash my yarn supplies and am working really hard to use up the yarn I have collected over the years. Like many crafters, I tend to buy a teeny bit more than I actually get to use. I always say I buy faster than I crochet and so in an effort to clear up some space (so that I may buy more yarn =p), I am on a crochet blaze since the last month. 

To date, I have completed about 30 pairs of booties, several sweaters and dresses for babies. i am also attempting to write my own pattern for a set of items for babies: top and bottoms, booties, mittens and beanie sets. I will be posting photos soon. =)

New Booties

It has been more than 2 months since my last post. I just finished my surgery and have been resting at home. Though I am more mobile this time compared to my last surgery a year ago, it has been quite a slow recovery for me.

I have been trying hard to use up my yarn supplies as I have simply put: too much stuff. I came up with this new design some time ago but did not test or write it down properly. I have tested the pattern myself, coming up with 3 different sizes of booties. I asked several kind souls to help me test the pattern on Crochetville. After tidying up the pattern, I will be posting it on Etsy for sale.


I have another two patterns that are already on sale on Etsy. This may become a new hobby for me - creating and writing patterns down. Though I have been doing crochet for more than 20 years and creating my own designs most of the time, I hardly record my patterns down and often have to do 're-creating' for some patterns.

It has been quite a while since I did any stamping or paper crafts. With my table in a mess, it has been a great deterrent for me stepping into the room for crafting for a few weeks. I will be tidying up my table very soon and hope to complete a few pieces of paper crafting before I return to work.
