Hi everyone, a big thank you very much for all your gorgeous entries to our Fantasy Creatures challenges. There were so many fabulous entries, so as always a difficult job to chose our top 3. But first I want to announce the lucky winner, generated via random.org...

No. 29 - Didos

Congratulations Hazel! Please contact Rose to claim your prize. You can find her e-mail addy in the sidebar. And grab the winner banner from the sidebar for your blog.

Have a wonderful day!

Blog Update

Posted by Unknown Posted on 6:21 AM with No comments

In an effort to make the blog easier to browse, I've added page breaks to the pattern posts. Instead of seeing the whole pattern on the front blog page, you'll just click in to the post to see the pattern.

To get the whole pattern, you can click on the "see pattern" link at the bottom of each post or the title of the post. (see image below)

All the patterns are still there, and all the patterns are still free!

I did this so that when browsing the blog, you won't have to scroll past all the technical details of the pattern to get to the next post.

This won't affect direct links at all, just the experience on the main blog page. Links directly to the post will still show the whole pattern on the same page.

I'm hoping that this will make the labels on the right side of the blog easier to use to find patterns you want.

Thanks for being flexible!

Free Pattern: Princess Tiara - Toddler/Youth

This year, for #1's fourth birthday, I wanted to make a more delicate crown with some sparkly pink yarn I knew she would love. This one in sport yarn is super cute, but my yarn is worsted weight. So I came up with this. She was such an adorable birthday princess. :)

The pink hat actually has a white flower, and the brown hat actually has a green edge instead of a green detail row.

The contest will end at noon Sunday November 4, and after I generate the winning random numbers, I will email the winners.
