Emerald City Infant pattern release

Happy Saturday everyone!  I can say that, because I have finally finished the Emerald City Infant pattern and I believe I have figured out the sizing for the toddler patterns :) :)  Oh Happy Day!! Oh Happy Day!!!

Ok, now that I have that song stuck in my head...lol..Here is the link to the pattern on Craftsy:
Craftsy Emerald City Pattern.  It is on sale for $4 for 1 week and will be changed to $5 next Saturday.


This is the link to the pattern on Ravelry: Ravelry Emerald City Pattern . The price on Ravelry will be adjusted at check out.

Also, for those of you who are interested, on Ravelry only, if you add 3 patterns to your cart, the 3rd one will be adjusted to free at check out automatically. 

I can't wait to release the toddler sizes because I have a few other ideas just waiting to burst onto paper.  One of those ideas will be generic, so even baby boys can wear it!  Woo Hoo!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend my friends.

Emerald City Infant Dress

Happy Thursday everyone!  It has been a good week here.  Monday, I watched my 2 nephews and received a cute little call from 1 of my nieces asking if she could have a sleep over...How could I resist?  I love my family!  When my niece went home, they took my oldest daughter with them for the week. Brodie had the day off today, so we took the girls to a local park/small zoo that they like.  They get excited to see each new animal and feed the fish.  Brook just informed me that I'm "the bestist mom"  It all makes life worth it - doesn't it? 

So, on to some crochet news :)  I am so happy to say that I  was able to pick back up the Emerald City dress pattern.  Sometimes setting a project down for a while is not a bad thing.  I made a few small changes to what I had previously written and love it even more!  The infant sizes are almost through the testing phase and I will be releasing the pattern on Craftsy and Ravelry this Saturday. 

Right now, I have a Pre-Sale running.  You can get the pattern for only $3 during this sale.  Once the pattern is released, it will be $5.  It is slightly more difficult than the Basic dress patterns, but not as difficult as the Angelique.  If you know the basics of crochet and how to read a pattern, you should still be able to work this one up.  Also, for the first time, I decided to try the pattern in Cotton along with Simply Soft.  To my surprise, Peaches & Creme cotton worked up the same and with beautiful results also.
To Pre-Order the pattern, just email me at craftingfriends4you@yahoo.com and I will send you an invoice...OR, you can comment on my FaceBook page Crafting Friendswith your email address and I can track your order that way.  Which ever works best for you.

Here are the 8 dresses I have been able to complete over the last week and a few others are by testers.

Princess Britt Child Pattern Release

I actually am starting to feel like I am accomplishing something :)  I am able to release all of the patterns I have been working on and feel caught up at the moment.  Today, I released the Princess Britt Child size pattern on Craftsy and Ravelry.  They will be on Sale until Wednesday.  You can get the instant download from Craftsy here : http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/Clothing/Princess-Britt-Child-Pattern/22958


I'm thrilled to be able to move on to another pattern that was set aside while I worked up the larger sizes of the basics.  Hopefully it will all come together the way it is working in my mind :)
