<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HookedbyRobin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">social media</a> you will have already seen my
announcement that I will no longer be selling my crochet patterns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is because I discovered my patterns had been pirated and
were available on some unscrupulous websites for free. This both saddened and
annoyed me in equal measure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When I first released my purrmaid it did exceptionally well
and was picked up and shared by a couple of large crochet pages, alongside a
crochet “celebrity”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now this crochet celeb did not contact me in advance (so it came as a
HUGE shock to me to have my phone lit up like a Christmas tree with notifications)
and simply set up an affiliation link to my Etsy pattern page and got a
percentage of the pattern sale money for the entire month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This didn’t cost me as
the designer anything, it didn’t cut into my sale money or anything along those
lines and is a totally legitimate way for large profile people to make some
extra pennies – I have zero problem with this as I benefited MASSIVELY from
the exposure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Win win. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was a huge confidence boost to me and I was extremely
excited and flattered to have had MY pattern chosen. Little old nobody me! It
was amazing!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The down side to this was that unfortunately, it drew the
attention of those who I didn’t want. The people who file share, post online
for free for the traffic etc …. Not great when I was attempting to launch a
pattern “career” so to speak. I had a massive kick start thanks to going a
teeny tiny bit viral but then immediately had it stolen. What is the point? Meh. I really love designing patterns and selling
them was a great way to fund my passion but hey ho – there are always a few
rotten apples ‘n all that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

patterns from sale and will be working on filming tutorials for them over on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/HookedbyRobin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my YouTube channel</a> where I hope you will join me! I will also release the written
patterns here on my blog so stick around, I’m not going anywhere, just slightly
changing my direction and hopefully, long term, it will be for the better :D<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2018 has been a crazy year for me, it started by getting
married in April, followed by a mind blowing trip to America for our honeymoon
then hit the ground running by bagging myself a new full time job – it seems
like only yesterday I was releasing my <a href="http://byrobin.blogspot.com/2018/02/lotus-flower-blanket-free-crochet.html" target="_blank">Lotus Flower Blanket</a> pattern – where has

time I share some of my motif designs that I have been sitting on. I initially
put pressure on myself to have finished blankets to show the motifs off to
their best but with life being so busy now, that is never going to happen so
over the next few months I will be releasing crochet motifs for you to turn
into blankets on my behalf LOL<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You
will only need one ball of yarn for these gloves. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I personally buy 2 balls so I can line up the colours so
each glove matches its partner. Nothing makes my ocd eye twitch more than
mismatched gloves! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I take the yarn, find the matching start points on both
balls and use my yarn winder to cake the yarn up ready to rock. That way I know
both gloves with be as close to each other as possible. You DO NOT NEED to do
this. Seriously. I spend waaaaaaaay too much time matching up yarn ends. The
colour changes are gradual, trying to find identical start points is nearly
impossible. You will regret ever starting it when your living room floor is
strewn with yarn barf. You will weep when you have torn apart 7 different balls
of yarn trying to find similar colour points only to find they are differing
dye lots. LIVE YOUR LIFE. BE FREE. Have mismatched gloves if you want to. Who
cares? (well, I clearly care but those are my issues, not yours LOL) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Although saying that, sometimes you will get lucky. I had 2
balls of Moonbeam on my shelf so grabbed those for this pattern. They were
almost perfectly matched from the outset. Heaven! I only had to cut off this
tiny amount from one ball before winding. The yarn gods were being kind to me
today.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

to up your hook to a 4.5mm or even a 5mm on the shell rows as this yarn doesn’t
seem to have much “give” to it. Try your gloves on periodically if using this
yarn to make sure it still fits your hand nicely. Adjust your hook size

Sorry!) and yesterday posted up a photo of a pair of fingerless gloves I made <i>which needless to say I am keeping for myself! </i><br /><br /> Lots of people have asked about the pattern so I thought I would quickly pop the pattern up here on my blog so you can make yourself a pair too!<br /><br /> I have quite small wrists and often find that normal puff stitch gloves are too fat and bulky for my liking - I always look like I am wearing boxing gloves or the cuffs are too baggy so with that in mind, I used finer yarn which is still lovely and squishy but without the additional bulk.<br /><br /><br /> These gloves fit my freakishly small arms and hands perfectly but make sure you check the fit as you go - if you find the first few rows are too tight, try going up a hook size or two.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As I was reaching the end of my run of summer markets, I was chatting to some lovely ladies who were on holiday about the tails. One of them (I forget their names sorry!) ran a yarn shop and also taught crochet. We were talking about how people were requesting the pattern and they pointed out that I can only make so many tails … it wasn’t physically possible for me to make tails for all the people who were asking!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They also talked about how it was only a matter of time before my design would be inevitably ripped off and how others would profit from my hard work. They mentioned how one of the ladies had made a cocoon blanket and within weeks, someone else had made one based from her pictures and was now selling the pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Encouraged by their words and heeding their advice, I decided to make the leap and sort out the pattern!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I also thought I would answer some of the recurring questions I have been getting about the pattern:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Is this a full sleeping bag blanket?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">No! It is a snuggly pouch for your feet then splits at the back to be a traditional lap blanket. It is open at the back which means you can get in and out of it very easily!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Do you have a child sized version of the pattern?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">No, there is no need! The blanket pattern is super flexible, if you require a smaller tail you can simply omit the last rows – once the shaping is done for the foot pouch, you only need complete the rows that take your blanket to the desired length. It is worked from the bottom up so is easy to tweak to suit your needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Do you have a larger adult sized version of the pattern?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, no need! The foot pouch section of the pattern is a one size fits all – the blanket section is easy to make longer, wider or both!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Do I have to use the recommended yarn weights?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">No! The pattern calls for one strand of chunky yarn (the USA equivalent of UK chunky is Bulky) and two strands of double knit yarn to be held at the same time. These recommended yarn weights make for a nice, dense heavy textured blanket.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The pattern is not gauge specific so if you don’t want such a thick fabric, use less strands or substitute the yarn weights. You can mix it up however you want! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The only important thing is the hook size. If you use less strands or finer yarns, you will have a lighter blanket.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My advice to everybody is grab whatever yarn you fancy, have a play with the first couple of rows and see how the blanket works up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>What yarn do you use?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All sorts! I raid my embarrassingly large stash of yarn and play with colour. I spend more time concentrating on my colour choices than I do the yarn brands. Mix and match to suit your taste!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The mermaid tail I made for the pattern itself uses one strand of James Brett Chunky and 2 strands of Stylecraft DK.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13pt;">My friend asked me to make her
daughter a “friendly happy poo that could be cuddled and carried about” as she
has issues with deliberately holding it in herself, and as she is so young, the
doctor recommended she “make friends with her poo” … as much as we chuckled
about this, it can be a serious problem especially as children get older so we
are hoping having a poo buddy will help her!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13pt;">When I made this, I uploaded it to my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/puddnhead/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>
as a lot of people there share my same sense of humour but I am happy to admit,
I did hesitate before sharing it on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HookedbyRobin" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. Would people get it?
Needless to say, the post exploded and got a ridiculous amount of likes, shares
and comments – most from people asking for the pattern! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13pt;">I certainly was never expecting
people to a/ get it and b/ want the pattern! The whole concept of my poo receiving
so much attention coupled with my toilet humour, naturally makes the whole
thing both hilarious and crazy at the same time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13pt;">For my large cuddly poo, I used
chunky Cygnet yarn and a 4mm hook. My poo worked up to be roughly 10 inches
tall but if you’d like a smaller poop, using any dk yarn and a 3mm hook will
shrink the size.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last August, Tonia from The Periwinkle Knitting Cafe asked
me to design a couple of crochet patterns for her Sea Life Bunting
Project. She wanted a simple beginner’s
pattern and a slightly more advanced one so of course; I opted for the simplest
of all creatures for my beginner’s pattern: the jellyfish! <i>(I also wrote a Starfish pattern which I will upload at some point soon!)</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The patterns were sold in her shop until October as little
packs and then all the completed sea creatures were donated back to Tonia who
duly strung them into bunting which she in turn donated back to the town. The
bunting is now in the hands of the local council and will be used for local
events in Ilfracombe!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a vintage crochet blanket brings. </span></div>

or knotted into a total mess and you don’t want to make it any worse! Carefully
snip away any of the damaged areas. More often than not you will need to cut
away more than you think so don’t panic! It will look worse before it gets
better. Work your way back to a level
where the original yarn is strong enough to hold. Be careful not to un-twist
the loops of the original crochet you wish to keep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
