Crochet Pingu (Ravelry Pattern)

To celebrate the release of my new kiwi pattern I'm having a giveaway over on Instagram for 2 copies of the pattern!

Head on over to Instagram to learn more!

Huge free pattern archive from a Japanese yarn company (charts)

This archive disappeared at one point, then came back. They haven't updated since 2020, but there's literally hundreds of knitting and crochet patterns to sort through. It's all PDFs with charts and English translation on the minimal text.

In case anyone's looking for some stuff to make.

Crochet Bao

This is for all you crochet and knitting designers out there selling patterns on Etsy:

Copyright applies only to your pattern. While a person cannot legally sell your pattern, you can not stop them or threaten them with "you do not have my permission to sell a finished item made with this pattern". And why would you even expect that? So you can make money, but the person who bought the pattern and supported you can't? Did you think you were going to make more sales of your pattern that way?

You better research copyright laws more thoroughly before you get your heart broke... like intellectual property, and the fact that you can't copyright a garment. I assure you that the garment you designed has most likely in very close similarity been designed before by someone else. Anyone who makes an item from your pattern can sell the item as long as they disclose that they didn't personally design the item, and they may not even have to do that much, especially if variations were made. You're welcome... and go fix your self-entitled Etsy listings that have that wack "warning" in them. You yourself may in fact be infringing on someone else's design with your own.

UPDATE 2023-05-19-FRI - 3:46 AM CST:

Since writing this post, I have as of the timestamp above purchased a crochet pattern on Etsy at ShopTigerCrochet. The seller states in his or her listing, the following:

Permissions: You have my permission to use this pattern to create physical pieces for yourself and your loved ones for free. - - - Well I would hope and expect that after I paid money for this pattern that I can surely make the item or some variation of it from the pattern... you know since I paid for it, otherwise what was the point of the transaction when I bought the pattern? You do not have my permission to share the pattern with others. - - - I can agree to that, since it's not my pattern to share. You do not have my permission to sell the pattern or physical creations of the ctrl top using my pattern. - - - I don't plan on selling anyone's pattern, however there is no law in the United States that says I cannot sell a garment I create using the pattern. Also if I create variations of the pattern, that becomes a new design, and there is no law stopping me from then selling MY pattern, and I can, but don't have to, credit you for being "based off of". Please credit me each time you post a photo of the ctrl top on social media. - - - That also is not a legal requirement, but we'll see.... and I understand why they ask this one. It's so they can drive more traffic to their stores and websites.

After my purchase of the pattern I left this review: "The pdf is beautifully put together, and the instructions seem to be explained well. I couldn't give less than a 5 star review since this is a pattern, and as of this comment haven't actually used it. So the 5 stars is based off of ease of purchasing. I do however want to point out one thing in the seller's "Permissions" section of the listing. While a seller has the right to copyright his or her pattern, and to forbid sharing or selling of the pattern, can not forbid a buyer of the pattern from selling finished items made using the pattern, as garments can not be copyrighted, and due to intellectual property. I recommend all sellers do more research on final usage of patterns that buyers have rights to."

The only way these sellers are going to learn is if buyers start telling them.

I get it. People put a lot of work in to writing crochet and knit patterns, however your work, and your pride in it, has no authority over what someone does with a finished item he or she creates with the pattern after buying it.

I have come to teach you and all your followers my simple way of doing a magic circle, since every popular style I’ve seen is unnecessary complicated.

First start with your string

Then you cross it

Then pull the string on the top through the part on the bottom

Now you have a slip knot. And know we’re going to crochet around the slip knot and the tail.

You’re going to insert your hook into the loop of your untightened slip knot, yarn over, pull through, and then pull through the two loops on your hook to do a single crochet (or double crochet if you’re using uk terms)

And bam! You have a magic circle!

Continue crocheting around the slip knot and tail, when you’re ready to tighten it, just pull the yarn tail!

Hope this helps you all, in case you want to do a magic circle for the possum patterns instead of the chain two method :3

Very cool and I think me and my followes will love it

Spiderweb Kerchief!

I actually finished a Halloween pattern in time for Halloween. What joy!

Lately I've been enjoying working with finer yarns and more delicate, lacy stitches. I used to stick with mostly size G, H, and I hooks with worsted yarn, and took a lot of pride in that! Especially since so many crafters seem to eschew chunky yarns and big stitches in favor of "fussier" projects. Well, I didn't, for a long time. I liked pieces that worked up fast and looked big, bodacious, and a little tacky.

Lately, though, I find myself with a lot more time on my hands. I'm home a lot more. I rest more. My life has slowed down dramatically in the past year - and this is a good thing! The first 25 years of my life I felt like I was constantly climbing uphill, fighting for something or fighting against someone, working toward the next goal, the next achievement, the next patch on the imaginary Girl Scouts vest I track my life on. But then about a year ago, my family moved from a major metropolitan area to a small rural town. My job changed. My husband got promoted. My kid is getting bigger. And time started to stretch along differently. I didn't measure my time in deadlines anymore. Time passed and I didn't feel like I had wasted it by being unproductive. I consciously stopped measuring my worth by my productivity.

it turns out lightweight yarn and fussy stitches are a lot more fun if you let yourself move slowly. Turns out watching lace work up is as gratifying as finishing a chunky bralette in a day. Turns out I can make things that are genuinely beautiful.

Especially if they're Halloween themed, LOL.

I'm working on a pattern for this spiderweb kerchief headband and will need pattern testers soon! Follow me here or at my Instagram page @/creaturecomforts_shop to see more.
