Shirtail Top Pattern Now Available!

I actually released this pattern a few weeks ago but forgot to blog about it on hookey.

It’s been a long time in the pipeline, but it’s finally here – my Crochet Shirttail Top. The skill level is intermediate, however, I do have a beginner crocheter testing it and she is challenged but…

Dismal Pattern Sales - Summer Slump?

I have only been selling my patterns since April so I don't have experience to know if there really is such a thing as a Summer Slump.

It just started about 5 days ago. It could also be because I stopped blogging everyday on my "The Yarn Yogi Blog". 

Anybody else have experience with this? Do I just ride it out? Even placing Search Ads on Etsy generated zero revenue for me last week.

Technique Tuesday - Foundation Crochet Stitch

From "The Yarn Yogi Blog":

 

What's that you say? It's Wednesday, not Tuesday! I know - deal with it...

I absolutely love Foundation Stitches. A Foundation Stitch or Chainless Foundation, is making a foundation or base chain and sc or dc (tc, dtc, etc) at the same time. It makes for a stable yet flexible foundation for a crochet garment or accessory and it saves a…

The Yarn Yogi - More Bracelet Inspiration!

 

Last week, I took my 13-year old son to our local Tilly's to get his monthly pair of skateboarding shoes because last month's pair left pieces of its sole all over our neighborhood street. As I was paying at the register I saw these:…

Shrug FAQ's

Here's my newest post http://theyarnyogi.com/2012/07/02/shrug-faqs/:

The number one question I get about my shrugs is, “How do you put it on?” I remember my first shrug. It was a free vintage pattern for a bedjacket shrug from the ’50′s or ’40;s. I followed the pattern, completed it and said, “Whaaaat?” It was just a folded rectangle of crochet! How can this be worn? This is the reply I have been sending to my buyers who have…

Sad blog post

I apologize that my only blog post so far on Hookey is bad news! We just found out my husband has Lou Gherig's Disease (ALS). He is 48. I am in shock as the realization of what is in store for us dawns on me. I believe crochet and the crochet community will be a tremendous help to me as I go on this strange and awesome journey with my husband.
