Seriously, I love to knit. And the frustrating thing is, it takes a lot of skill, but there really isn't any great way to turn it into income. If you sell finished objects, you can't sell it for what its really worth. People don't want to pay $100 for a scarf. If you sell patterns, you are in competition with thousands of other patterns that may be very similar to yours. Many people are appalled at the idea of paying $5-$10 for one pattern. Most test knitters don't get paid, which while as a designer, I love having others test knit for me for free, I feel they deserve to be compensated. What is wrong with the world that a craft requiring so much skill and time is not valued? What are your thoughts and opinions?Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-81791378921734359242012-07-16T12:15:00.001-07:002012-07-16T12:16:24.531-07:00My Humblest ApologiesMy dear readers:

Since I moved to Sacramento, it has been difficult for me to find time to get on the computer. I also went through a period of knitter's block. I finally have a new design up for you, which has been pattern tested by the loyal knitters of "Completely Pointless and Arbitrary Test Knitters/Crocheters."
I will be posting a related pattern as soon as the test knitting is done, but for now, please enjoy <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dash-mitts">Dash Mitts</a>, which were designed specifically for a hand painted bulky weight yarn.

I have two new patterns out for you to enjoy. The first is a scarf that will make you feel rich, beautiful and stylish. It takes less than 300 yards of a worsted weight angora yarn of your choice, and one skein of a ribbon yarn such as Tundra Glitz or ChaCha. There is another beautiful one out called TuTu, but it has less yardage, so you would probably want three skeins. I love this scarf. I made mine with red Tundra Glitz. Go <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/glitz-and-glam-ruffle-scarf">here</a> to download this pattern for only $4.00.<br />

I recently set myself a new set of goals to work on each project I currently have in the works three times per week. Right now that works out to working on three a day. Yes, I have that many projects going at once, but I don't work my fingers to the bone. My goal isn't to wear myself out, just to get things done. For example, the Crochet jacket I am working on, I have a goal of getting 15 rows put on it per week, so five rows a day, three days. Not so bad when you look at it that way. Because of that, my newest patterns are up for sale on Ravelry. They are the previously mentioned <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flowergirl-headband">knit</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/floral-lace-headband">crochet</a> headbands. Aren't they beautiful?!<br />

I have finished three projects in the last couple of weeks, so now I just have to get the patterns written and upload them to Ravelry. I finished a scarf that is meant to be worn draped around your neck instead of wrapped around that is covered in ruffles. It uses a ribbon yarn paired with an angora yarn. I used Tundra Glitz, but ChaCha and TuTu can also be used. I also finished a fun cotton headband that is for all ages. The pattern is written to an adult size, but just add a second button farther up the band and it will be adjustable down to child's size. The third project is another headband, written to a child's size, but do a few extra rows in the center portion and it will fit teens and adults too!<br />
<br />
I will be on the road all day today, so I won't be able to post pictures or anything, but I promise to upload the pictures and patterns very soon!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-75390859355295218522012-03-02T13:15:00.000-08:002012-03-02T13:15:52.171-08:00Crochet HeadbandThe headband is finally up on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/floral-lace-headband">Ravelry</a>. It is an easy pattern for all who know how to crochet. I hope you enjoy it, and I would love to see pictures of your finished projects. The other projects are a bit behind. The shrug still needs a second sleeve. The scarf is about half done, and the tote bag is about 4" tall. I have been getting lots of knit to hire projects at work, and those have been keeping me pretty busy. It is nice getting paid to do what I love. I wish everyone could be so lucky. I just finished a hat, a cowl, a tote bag, and a shrug for work. I love knitting and crochet. Don't forget to check out the headband!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-39139564837411770872012-02-16T09:40:00.000-08:002012-02-16T09:40:35.527-08:00A Bit BehindWell everyone, I am a bit behind on my knitting. I may not get any projects done and posted in February. I have been doing lots of knitting for the shop I work at, and that is guaranteed income, so the designing has been put aside for a little while. I am still working on the designs recently promised. I am over halfway done with the shrug, about 1/3 of the way done with a scarf, and a 1/3 of the way on the tote bag as well. The crochet headband will be up shortly. I just had my class at the shop for it, so I'll make a couple tweaks to the pattern, and then its all... yours! Talk to you soon!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-15313810115608993652012-01-30T14:37:00.000-08:002012-01-30T14:37:50.962-08:00Coming Soon: New PatternsSo I thought I would hint to you all what is up and coming since I haven't completed anything lately. I have been so busy trying to find work that I haven't had as much time to knit. So here goes.<br />
<br />
First up is the denim tote-bag. It involves a recycled pair of jeans and cables. That is all you get to know for now, but this will be very stylish. It takes your knitting to the next level. All you need is some very basic sewing skills. Use it as your knitting bag. That is what mine will be. Trust me, you'll get lots of compliments on this one. Expect the pattern sometime in February.<br />
<br />
A lace shrug to wear over your little black dress. No, it won't keep you warm, but it will add some modesty to that little black dress that is a little too slinky for most occasions. Or wear it over a camisole to dress it up a bit. Expect this pattern in February as well.<br />
<br />
And last but not least, a new crochet headband pattern. I designed it for a class I'm teaching at the yarn shop, but I plan on posting the pattern on ravelry after the class. This one should be up mid February, and I am the most excited about it. My class filled up in no time, and I may have to repeat it to satisfy all the customers clamoring to sign up!<br />
<br />
February will be a busy month. I am hoping this is the turning point that will keep me from having to find that second job. As much as I love my job at the yarn shop, I have bills to pay. I need my knitting patterns and classes to do well to help pay those. I can't wait to see the finished projects from the sales I have had so far!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-86352473069294142142012-01-23T21:49:00.000-08:002012-01-23T21:49:13.663-08:00Offering My Services To The WorldI am thinking of offering to knit/crochet for people, as well as offering knitting lessons, for a fee, of course. I have bills to pay, and unfortunately they won't wait. I am debating what my fees should be. I just want to not have to worry about affording the necessities. I also have two new patterns in the works, a bag, and a shrug. I hope you are on the edge of your seat, because I'm on the edge of mine! I know I haven't been writing a lot lately, and honestly, its because I am a little depressed. Don't get me wrong. I love my job. I have just been so stressed about money lately. I have started searching for a second job, which I am not thrilled about, but there it is. Wish me luck loyal followers.Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-51802432904255739482012-01-19T11:48:00.000-08:002012-01-19T11:48:17.633-08:00New Cabled Hat PatternWell everyone, a new pattern is up for sale on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cables-on-bottom-hat">Ravelry</a>, and you absolutely must make one. I know I am bragging about my own pattern, but I want to make more of it, in lots of different colors! It was so fun! It only takes one ball of CEY Liberty Wool, and they have so many beautiful colors. The best part about the yarn is that it is so soft. Wool normally makes me itch and this doesn't bother me at all. Enjoy that hat. I can't wait to see what yours looks like!<br />

You can wear it as your standard triangular shawl, or wear it like a scarf. Both look great! The pattern is only $5.00. I really enjoyed designing this one, and I am sure you will enjoy making one for yourself or a friend. This would also make a great prayer shawl, so cast on and enjoy!<br />

Things are going well with the first via more salads less soda. The second however is lagging a bit. I have not had any sales in a while. I would like that to change. So I am going to offer some promos coming soon. First though, I would like to take a tally of who reads my blog and has looked at my patterns. I would like you dear reader to leave a comment by midnight pacific time Friday the 13th saying which design is your favorite. You don't have to have knit it. You just need to look at the pictures. Please state why it is your favorite. I will randomly choose one person to win a free pattern of their choice from my current patterns. I can't wait to hear from you. Good luck!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-42526437247079525842012-01-04T14:25:00.000-08:002012-01-04T14:25:06.503-08:002012: Working Towards SuccessSo, as my friends and family all know, I am anti-resolution. No one keeps them. What is the point in making them? Instead, I am working on my lifestyle. Currently, I sit around way too much. Granted I am knitting on projects for work, classes, or pattern design, but I end up out of breath walking around the mall or downtown. I need to make it a point to walk more. Running is out of the question since I have bad knees and shin splints. So this is me attempting to be healthier. Eat better and walk more.<br />
<br />
Then there is working on my career and obviously income. I work part time at a yarn shop. While it is the most exciting job I have ever had, income-wise, I need to do more. I am working on pattern designs a lot lately. I would really like to get my name out there and get those patterns moving. I have several on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/webknitter13">Ravelry </a>up for sale or free to download, and more are always on the way. I am deciding what the best way to market myself is, and that is where I am not sure how to continue. I would love to get one of my patterns into something like Interweave Knits or Vogue Knitting. So here is my hope, that by the end of the year I have a steady income off of my patterns.Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-15538202799191565812011-12-30T15:08:00.000-08:002011-12-30T15:08:20.819-08:00Better Late Than NeverOkay so the never before seen hairpin lace project was completed just in time to be on the tree on Christmas Eve, and it may not be so festive to post it now, but at least you'll get to see it. I made garland for my tree out of the ribbon yarn on the hairpin lace tool. It has the same construction as hairpin lace, but not the same appearance.<br />

It turned out beautifully and I recommend it to everyone! If you know the basics of knitting, you can knit this <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/biased-for-cables-scarf">scarf</a>. Check it out! Hopefully I'll have more to post soon. The holidays have been crazy, but don't worry, I am already working on a new pattern. This one will be a mohair shawl. That is the only hint for now. Have a Happy New Year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bix9y6N_uiM/Tv5Darz4SZI/AAAAAAAAAC8/oE4z6RVjofw/s1600/DSC03300-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bix9y6N_uiM/Tv5Darz4SZI/AAAAAAAAAC8/oE4z6RVjofw/s320/DSC03300-1.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Well the pattern is done, minus identifying the yarn I used, but the hairpin lace project, not so much. Here's why. I worked every day this week, and when I wasn't at work, I was working on the sample for the crochet scarf class I'm teaching next month. If you live in the Elk Grove, CA area, come to Knitique and sign up for the class. It is a beautiful scarf, even if it isn't quite done yet. However, the mitts pattern is done, and you can find it for sale on Ravelry <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ez-pz-striped-mitts">here</a>! I appreciate the support from anyone who buys the pattern. I'm thinking of doing an ebook collection of all my mitts once I get them all done. I have two more mitt patterns to work up. Also in progress is a new knitted scarf pattern. It is more complex than my previous patterns, but its worth it!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-46196771702677319942011-12-09T13:42:00.000-08:002011-12-09T13:42:53.108-08:00With Pom Poms on Top<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr0QoI_PLrMMfYnkn4H5Yi05ueB8n_WllJGDpDbEShyByC4uJ2UGrievupUDJQCSish-DbaEgs8bfXFimOYVspkNhzSZdHEXq1Ijde0xClxagWTFxQtNhWggkKnaNDBKMBFd3gGJLk_Ww/s1600/DSC02888-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr0QoI_PLrMMfYnkn4H5Yi05ueB8n_WllJGDpDbEShyByC4uJ2UGrievupUDJQCSish-DbaEgs8bfXFimOYVspkNhzSZdHEXq1Ijde0xClxagWTFxQtNhWggkKnaNDBKMBFd3gGJLk_Ww/s400/DSC02888-1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Yes, I put pom poms on my boots. No, it doesn't look tacky! I used bright red on black boots so they look very festive, but there are so many colors of this yarn, you could easily style them to wear all winter long! These are my latest pattern, and I really hope you enjoy them. They are quick and easy to make a pair of, and they only take one ball of each yarn. They are very affordable. Make some for you, or make some for the kids. <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/with-pompoms-on-top">These</a> are sure to be a hit with everyone!<br />
<br />
Also coming soon are a new mitts pattern, as well as something you never thought you could make with hairpin lace. Both of these patterns should be out by the end of next week, so just hang tight and customize your boots while you wait!

I am excited to tell you that I have new patterns available for download on Ravelry. I have just listed a couple pairs of mitts, and some fabulous boot toppers. You absolutely must check them out! All my patterns are reasonably priced. I am thinking of publishing an ebook soon if all goes well. Please support me by favoriting my patterns and downloading them for your use and enjoyment. I love getting feedback as well!<br />

And I find myself low on battery as well, because my car adapter refuses to work.<br />
<br />
So far my yarnventures have been to unpack all my yarn and decide where to put it all. That was no easy task mind you. My Grandma recently sent me all her yarn and that was a lot of yarn. I 5 shelf bookcase, a 3 shelf bookcase, and a desk devoted to my yarn, books, and tools such as loom, knitting needles, knitting machine, and embroidery machine.<br />
<br />
Now I find myself meeting yarny people in Elk Grove, a half hour drive away, but totally worth it. There are yarn shops closer, yes, but this one takes the cake, or gives it as the case may be. I went to their Knit N Nosh event and boy was it great! I had so much fun, helped new knitters when they got stuck on projects, and worked on my newest soon to be pattern for sale. Knitique is well worth the drive, and has a great selection. I know I will be going back there soon to buy a beautiful set of interchangeable needles very soon.Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-53310952678486385782011-09-26T09:21:00.000-07:002011-09-26T09:21:10.170-07:00Balancing Act: Crafting and MovingWow..... I am likely moving cities a month or so from now. That is the scary part. I know what city. I know my fiancee will have a job. I don't know if I will have one. We don't have a place yet. And we don't know exactly when we are going.<br />
<br />
And then there is the not so fun part.... Packing! Ugh! Its even less fun when you don't know exactly when you are moving. What do I pack first? How am I going to deal with the pets?! I have to have everything out of the house for the inspection of the apartment, but if its hot they can't exactly hang out in the car... I have things like candles that don't appreciate getting hot either. Uhaul trucks aren't air conditioned.... Will they melt? I'm hoping it is going to cool off enough before we go that I don't have to worry about that too much...<br />
<br />
Oh my gosh.... There is so much to do.... I am giving stuff away, throwing stuff away, donating stuff, all to have to pack less. Am I going to regret getting rid of some of this stuff? Where do I donate my Hot Topic coats? Not very many people are into trench coats and leather....<br />
<br />
And then there is my knitting. How long can I put off packing it? Should I get rid of some of my stash? How do I take the time to work on projects when I should be packing? I have a new scarf pattern in progress to put up on Ravelry. I am in a hurry to get lots of decent patterns up for sale so that I can supplement my income. Especially since I will possibly have a loss of income.... I know I'm probably not doing any more weaving until I move... How do people do this?!<br />
<br />
So... the thing I'm most excited about?! There is a Stitch N' Bitch group where I'm moving. There isn't one here! And there are tons more yarn shops there! I'm sad to go because I have friends and family here and no one I know there, but its an adventure!Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-34982963432016175442011-09-06T22:06:00.000-07:002011-09-06T22:10:22.128-07:00Back from Vacation/A New PatternI just got back from a week long vacation to visit my Grandma in Boise, Idaho. I went to a yarn shop up there called <a href="http://www.puffymondaes.com/">Puffy Mondaes</a>, and they were awesome! I came back with some beautiful burgundy and sparkly fingering weight yarn, destined to be a shawl. I am thinking something lacy and airy. I also bought some beautiful fiber dyed in green, gold, black and white. It is 80% New Zealand Merino and 20% Silk. That shop was actually in Nampa, about a 15 minute drive down the freeway from Grandma's house! Oh how I wish my local yarn shop was as amazing.<br />

And today, I finished some new slippers and published the pattern on Ravelry. They are my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kiss-slippers">Keep It Simply Squishy(K.I.S.S.) Slippers</a>. They are the perfect weekend project and last minute gift. Hopefully my Etsy and Ravelry sales will pick up soon so I can support my habit a little better.<br />

Break over.My rabbit is now a happy member of my family, although he did not enjoy getting his first haircut. There was lots of squirming and kicking involved. I had lots of scratches. I am still working on him being willing to lay on his side or back without freaking out. He is getting much better. He has a snobby attitude and is a bit bossy. He has been deemed Admiral Twist.<br />

Not sure what I'll make out if it yet. I am blending it with wool. The picture is the single of Angora and wool on the spindle, and a cop of plain wool on a needle. The two are destined to be plied together as a two ply yarn. I am thinking of doing the <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer07/PATTwisp.html">Wisp</a> out of it, if I have enough, or maybe a scarf with a similar stitch pattern.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Just kidding! I am getting a Satin Angora bunny! I have spent the last couple days redoing my old bunny cage for him. The drawer pan had rusted, the food cup was trashed, and there was no longer a water bottle. So.... I bought a water bottle and food cup, and then got on to the hard part. I scraped off old paint, sanded, and used The Must For Rust on the pan. Once I got it fairly smooth, I spray painted it with a beautiful dark green. The inside of the pan doesn't look perfect, but it will be covered with a pan liner anyway. The goal is no more rust. I decided to use Rustoleum, as it will still bond with metal that has some rust, and it will protect it from rusting again.<br />
<br />
Now all I need is the bunny! Talk about fiber, I can harvest his beautiful fur four times a year and spin him into some beautiful yarn. I will be picking him up either today or tomorrow. Pictures coming soon!<br />
<br />
For now, enjoy a picture of my spray painting fail. Now.... off to take a shower.<br />

I wasted so much time today. I did get some knitting done. If I had been diligent, the test knit for my next pattern would have been done, but I was lazy, so it is only almost done. I still haven't bothered to seam my Celebration Tunic. I think it is because it was 107 degrees today and I just didn't feel like putting a sweater in my lap. Oh, I did get a fair amount of weaving done today too. I was working on my customizable scarf that I plan on putting on Etsy.com. <br />
<br />
In other news, I did some of the usual boring household chores, like dishes and watering the garden. Not really anything fun there, and sadly, those things don't make me feel productive.<br />
<br />
Okay, so you are wondering, how did I waste away the hours? TV of course. Oh and I watched the latest episode of True Blood online because I don't get HBO. And.... the real time waster = Facebook games! I feel rather silly saying it, but it is true. I spent way too much time playing Dungeon Overlord, Cityville, Happy Aquarium, and my favorite, Collapse.<br />
<br />
I do hope to get back to more knitting and weaving soon. I have a couple weaving projects that I would like to complete and post for sale on Etsy, and I have another knitting pattern in mind to work out and post for sale on Ravelry.<br />
<br />
I am really trying to come up with ways of gaining more income. The current job market in my area is sadly lacking, so I have resorted to online things like selling used items on Craigslist, and my patterns and projects on Ravelry and Etsy. Oh, and there are the ads on this blog. If you click on them, I get some change, so if you feel like helping a girl out, it is appreciated.<br />
<br />
Okay, enough complaining, begging, and feeling sorry for myself. I promise to be more positive in my next post.Webknitter13http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827188608757383303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33446404831752001.post-57996582296729786782011-07-26T11:38:00.000-07:002011-07-26T11:59:19.037-07:00Ups and DownsWell since my last entry, things have been rather erratic. I guess maybe I have gotten a little too excited about selling patterns, as no more sales have occurred since my last posting. Hmm... Well my next pattern should be a major improvement. This first one was rather basic to test the waters in selling patterns. I figured I better start to make something off my hobby, as my regular job isn't a very big paycheck.<br />
<br />
However, life is good. I have finally finished all the pieces to my Celebration Tunic done in neutrals instead of rainbow. The pattern was in issue 100 of Knitters Magazine. I still have to assemble the sweater and weave in more ends than anyone can ever be thrilled about. And you know what? I just don't want to do it this week.<br />
<br />
In other news, I have started weaving. My second project came out pretty fabulous. It is a shawl in rainbow colors and black. I am thinking of selling it, as I have no idea what I will ever wear it with. My third project is coming along rather nicely, and I think I will be selling it as well. Actually, it is probably going to be a demo from which I sell custom versions of the same design. No pictures of this yet, as I would like people to see the finished design first.<br />

I think I'll make a couple more of these.<br />
