Sharing my mistakes in crochet and knitting pattern designing, so you don’t have to make them.

I have been a passionate knitter and crochet for over 10 years now and started designing and publishing my own patterns around two years ago, in 2022. 

This blog post is for new, beginner, and wannabe knit and crochet designers. As someone who is still very much like an amateur myself, I’m going to share with you all the lessons I’ve learnt (and mistakes I’ve made).

This blog post is for new, beginner, and wannabe knit and crochet designers. As someone who is still very much like an amateur myself, I’m going to share with you the resources (and by resources I mean people, websites and tools etc.) that I have found really helpful in my learning journey. I’ll start with useful resources for the designing process, before moving on to tech editing, right through to promoting your new pattern.

As the temperatures have started to cool, I’ve started to think about getting cozy with my knitwear (although I would still like 1 to 2 weeks more of summer please and thank you!)
This post walks you through knitting patterns that I already have on my knitting needles, and want to finish in this upcoming season. Before moving on to other fall knitting patterns that I have my eye on and would love to make…though if I’m realistic with myself, I’m never going to be able to make them.

introducing The Journey Collection, three patterns that are the perfect small knitting projects to take on your travels. They are also great one-skein projects for those souvenir skeins you purchase on your trip.

Introducing the Journey hat pattern. The perfect gift for yourself or a family or friend.

Introducing the Lonsdale Toque pattern. My first published pattern that combines both crochet and knitting.
