I’m In A Magazine!
Look! It’s me!! I made these little guys a few weeks ago with scrap yarn and then tagged Simply Crochet magazine on the picture I Instagrammed. I was pretty chuffed to see the crochet fox and raccoon in the magazine. Now I know they don’t make up pretend readers!
I don’t often buy magazines (not reeeallly), let alone make the crochet patterns within the pages, but I did this time. It has definitely given me a boost but I am wondering if I should aim higher next time.
I’m thinking about focusing more on my own crochet designs and seeing what happens if I shout loudly about them… for example:
These little hooters are becoming really popular. I posted the pattern at the beginning of the month. They are my Granny Owl Decorations. A few days later, I twigged that I should probably put them on Ravelry. I did, and it went a bit mental for a couple of days. Then yesterday, completely out of the blue, they gathered loads of interest after someone (I’ve no idea who) posted a link on their Facebook page.
Very interesting, very exciting. I guess I need to be less scared about what I’m doing. Stop being a wimp. And I guess I should say “Thanks” to those who have found and liked my crochet owlies. There will definitely be more patterns from me in the future.
PS I’m many places online: Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages. Please Follow/Like and what have you. And I’m also on Pinterest (all.the.time). Have a look! Thank you. X
Well done you! You are a talented lady so it’s no surprise that’s been recognised. Jealous of your Sharpies, saw them the other day too, but the thought of the boys getting hold of them put me off!!
Thank you! The pens are well out if reach of little fingers. I hope I don’t cave and let the six year old play with them. Thanks for my liebster nomination by the way! I reckon I need a few days to work out what my answers will be and who I want to nominate! Sounds like fun. X
Fantastic! Go for it, someone out there is looking for you!! Those Sharpies are irresistible, I got some in the same deal last year! We have used ours to colour onto silk and then spray with rubbing alcohol from the chemist to make the colours blur and run! X
Excellent idea, I’ll be sure to use them for something fun like that. Thank you for your support, it absolutely helps!
Congratulations on getting your patterned published like this!
Thanks! It was fun to see!
