What’s new?

• 2 new blocks, making 27 unique blocks in total
• Improvements to blocks 6 and 21

You can find it in my ravelry store.

If you’re not sure it’s for you, you can check out the projects You do have to join ravelry to see the projects page, but if you like to crochet, I highly recommend you join. I promise they don’t spam you, and it’s a great resource.

I’ve recently discovered that the popular Stitch Sampler Afghan from Annie’s Attic is available as a ravelry download for $8.99. Not a bad price for a very nice pattern, right? So I’m going to compare what you get from Annie’s sampler and mine. Which, BTW, you can download for $6.75.

** The photographs in Annie’s digital download are of completed blocks only.

What about reviews?

Well, I’m a new designer and don’t have enough sales to get many reviews. In fact, at the time of this writing, I have exactly two reviews. Here’s what  @zoewilldoit on ravelry has to say:

This pattern is incredibly well-written by a very creative and talented person! It was easy to follow and mostly a lot of fun. The fact that you work block by block makes it feel less overwhelming of a project. I highly recommend anyone who wants to expand their stitch knowledge to try out this adorable pattern!

Did you see that? She called it adorable. Awww, shucks.

@Susan Dennis says

This pattern has all the details you could ever want. And guidance how to make it differently. It’s really meticulously written and wonderful to follow.

So, two for two on the reviews, I guess. It’s definitely a small sample, but I’m looking forward to seeing more in the future.

A Sample Page From My Pattern Illustrating Its Features:

Alternate Block Example

A little nicety for those of use who do better with paper than screens: a smaller PDF for printing. It contains a little less information, but still includes (I hope) the most helpful photos and charts along with the written pattern. In less than 20 pages.

To sum up, I provide video links for every new stitch introduced, even if it’s very simple. Even if it’s not simple or common and I had to make a video myself (Ugh. I’m terrible at making videos. But I’m told they’re still helpful.) I give the common names for stitches that have common names, so you can easily Google for more tutorials if you need more help. For those who don’t have decent internet, I include lots of photo tutorials. For those who are find crochet charts helpful, I provide them where appropriate. I’ve included highlighted notes about things that might trip you up, as well as tips that may be helpful (especially if you don’t have a ton of experience.)

Feel free to message me on ravelry with any questions or problems you may experience. Or reply to this post.

I don’t just want you to buy my pattern. I want you to succeed!
