Groovy man!

Sorry Tiff, I will have more in the future I'm sure. I can add you to my earburn list on Ravelry if you'd like.

I sometimes think I underprice my things too. But then other times I'm not so sure. So far I've just been going by what I see others charging for the same type of pattern, but then I wonder how they got their price. LOL

I always have trouble deciding how to price my original designs. I try to get a feel for what others are asking for the same types of patterns, but I'm wondering if any of the long time idie designers have a formula they are willing to share. Thank you in advance for your input.

Thank you Kathy! I got your pm and responed via email.

Hi WendySue, I sent you a PM

The pattern should be easy, but you will need basic knowledge of working in the round, color change, etc. Testers will need the following materials: Size F/5/3.75mm hook; 1 ½ oz worsted weight yarn^; (2) 12mm black safety eyes; 12” length of black embroidery floss (or similar); stitch marker; fiberfill; tapestry needle. ^Approx 1/2 oz face color, 1/2 oz tail color, and ½ oz assorted scraps for stripe color of Red Heart Super Saver was used for sample project. Darby is approximately 8 inches long x 3 inches tall. I need testers to check for any pattern errors, inconsistencies, or gr

I love Pinterest! I spend far too much time looking through pins I'm CrochetAmore over there as well.

I believe this is the stitch pattern you are talking about. To make an afghan start with a longer chain. If you want the colors different on each side then just alternate colors between rows. e.g. color A for all even rows, color B for all odd rows... This stitch would make a very heavy blanket. http://blogs.thetucker.com/knit/2010/08/15/the-best-crocheted-potholder/

Looks great! I like the color changes

Thank you!!

Thank you all for the compliments!

My latest pattern is now available for free pdf download on Ravelry. Enjoy! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bunny-egg-cover-2 For some reason it won't let me link to the direct download... If you have trouble accessing the link above please let me know.

Nope, Joann's haven't changed. I just bought a book there last week with a coupon. I've also used the coupon at Hobby Lobby for a book. ACMoore and Michaels won't allow you to use a coupon on books or magazines though. And Joann's has thier magazines "on sale" for 10% off all the time so you can't use the coupon on those. As for feeling guilty? Nah... it makes me happy to buy new yarn and such. As long as the necessities are covered why shouldn't I do something that will give me a little pleasure? No need to feel guilty about that!

Thank you all for the compliments! I have another one in the works that will have a dragonfly in the center. I'm such a slow knitter though, it will take me a while to get it finished.
