There is a new pattern today. This sums up almost everything I believe in. The only thing I wasn't able to fit was God, but I'm sure that will be addressed shortly. If you make this pattern please consider posting your project to Ravelry or Instagram. Thank you to all of my amazing testers. Having help really took a lot of pressure off of me and made the whole process easier. It is available on Ravelry or for download below. Happy Knitting! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pro-life-pro-usa-pro-trump

Last night I was watching some awful tv and putting together an email for my test knitters when it really hit me that I have a group of testers. It's so strange. When I did my first design I never expected to have testers or a blog or people that supported me. I know I have said before that I accidentally became a designer, but I figured I would share how that happened.
A lot of my critics have mentioned that they think I got into this because I am an attention seeker. Or that I like stirring the pot and the drama it brings. Neither of these are even remotely correct. My first design came about because someone asked for a #WalkAway pattern. The request was posted in a Facebook group. No one else was interested in doing it, so I figured I would give it a try. My mom and I talked about it. She encouraged me and helped me figure out how to chart it. She helped me with my color work since I had never done any before. My original intent was to just whip up a chart and quick pattern and email it to the person that was asking for it. After some technical difficulties I decided to post it to Ravelry to make it easily accessible to the people in my group. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would take off. I never imagined that a pattern that I did in less than 24 hours would top the hot right now chart. After #WalkAway was completed I figure that was it for me. Then people started to send me messages and leaving me comments. There was a desire for Conservative patterns. A lot of people were fed up with the vulgar patterns that were being pushed. People were so excited to have a voice out there saying what they all felt and doing it in a respectful manner. And, that is how we got to this point. But, if you had asked me last November if I would have a blog or half a dozen published patterns I probably would have laughed in your face. I never dreamed that I would have testers or anything of the sort. Life is funny that way. There are several more patterns on the way. Hopefully there will be one next weekend. If there is anything you are interested in seeing I would love to hear from you. Thanks for all of the support. :) |
