Pattern Testers Needed | New in the Shop

Hello lovelies!

After tossing the idea around for a while, and getting a request, I've decided to start selling the crochet pattern for my granny square laptop sleeves in my shop.  I'm really excited about this, but I need your help.

I need you to test my pattern!

The Granny Square Laptop Sleeve pattern is for a 13" computer.

The testers should have at least a basic knowledge of crochet and pattern reading.  The pattern is in basic US crochet terms.

It's an easy pattern, no fancy stitches.  You don't necessarily have to own a 13" computer for testing purposes - after selling a lot of these puppies, I know they're the right size. ;)

The first four ladies to comment and ask to be testers will receive the pattern for free.

I'll email it to you and you'll have two weeks to review and test the pattern.

I know that I can understand the pattern, but it's important that others can, too.

Once the two weeks are up, you'll send me your critiques and, if you like, pictures of your finished sleeves which I will share on the blog!

So, who's interested?

If you have any questions or want to test the pattern, leave me a comment below!

Also, and I wish I'd thought of this before, send me an email at:
edithmacalpine(at)gmail(dot).com

Tester 1: Emily

Tester 2: Cassie & Rebekah
Tester 3: Francesca
Tester 4: Lauren
Thank you ladies!  I'll contact you with details soon!

Crocheted Creations: Ruffle Scarf Pattern

I decided it was about time to share a few crochet patterns that I've created with y'all.

This first one is a deceptively simple crochet project, but the end result is a wonderfully feminine and stylish...

As seen in my Etsy shop.

And viola!  A ruffle scarf!

This pattern works up very quickly - I can make three a day...as long as my wrists hold out, that is. ;)

Let me know if you make one using my pattern!

Also, if you wish, feel free to make and sell these scarves in your Etsy shop. 

All I ask is that you share the love and link back to me.

Happy Crocheting!
