In these challenging economic times it can be difficult to justify the cost of buying a pattern. At the same time, it is also increasingly attractive to earn extra money from the articles you make --- after all you are an artisan! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I recognize your desire to make money from your efforts and because of this I have always allowed items made from my patterns to be sold as long as not for mass production. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I appreciate your skill and am more than happy when you choose to make one of my patterns whether for personal use or for you to make items to sell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Taking this one step farther, I will be putting up free patterns on this site which will have ads. I will also be offering a link to where you can purchase my patterns ad free for a small cost.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let's navigate these rough waters together and have some fun along the way!</span></p><p><br /></p><p>π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π</p>Judehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10377012961506617077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595172830768344657.post-39435315509245773732021-01-19T18:43:00.003-08:002021-01-19T19:07:12.658-08:00Where to find my patterns<p>I have been designing crochet and knitting patterns for several years. I used to write up patterns for friends who wanted to replicate something I had made. After a while and with some encouragement, I decided to see if my patterns would sell. They did!</p><p> If you would like to see a collection of my patterns there are three places to look: Ravelry, Etsy, and Lovecrafts.

My piece is worked in reeled silk the colour of the Mediterranean. Since I chose to work in only one colour I used the texture of many different stitches for a variety of effects. Sharks teeth, shells, fins, aquatic plants, and abandoned fishing nets are some of the motifs that you can find amidst the swirling waters.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />I love freeform work.

I am so happy to share with you the photos by Daniel Shanken of all the wonderful designs in this book. You will notice that there are many familiar designers who have contributed. I simply cannot pick a favourite and I hope to make all of these designs and refresh my wardrobe.<br />

There is something for every crocheter in this book so it would make a wonderful Holiday gift for the crocheter in your life.!</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here are my designs:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Here are a few I have made recently:</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<br />
I took a course in metalsmithing. I learned to saw, anneal, solder, and file, file, file metal. The pendant is silver soldered onto copper that I heat treated to colourize. There are two band rings, one silver and the other copper. Also a Russian wedding ring in copper with three interlocking rings. And a silver spinner ring. I have to say that I don't like sawing at all and broke many blades to complete these, but I did enjoy everything else.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Then I decided to do a little bead embroidery. This cuff fastens with 2 magnetic clasps.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
After that I did some bead crochet. This necklace uses 2 different sizes of beads randomly strung. The clasp is 2 dragon heads.</span><br />
<br />

Each year an international group of fiber artists choose a theme for their challenge. This year's theme is "Pattern in Nature." They then work secretly on their submissions without any contact with each other. The resulting entries are then presented in an online gallery:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://freeformfiberart.blogspot.ca/p/2017.html" target="_blank">2017 Challenge</a><br /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> This one is mine:<br />
<br />
As the seasons change so do the leaves as they go from the lightly coloured green of new leaves to the brilliant colours of autumn which gradually disintegrate into leaf skeletons.<br />
<br />
I am somewhat obsessed with the gradual decline that nature brings. Abandoned buildings, fallen trees, objects lost or discarded, and leaf skeletons all provide captivating opportunities for inspiration.<br />
<br />
The influence of nature is undeniable and one of its most compelling patterns is the ever repeating cycle of the seasons.<br />
<br />
For this piece, each leaf is a separate little scrumble and no two are alike. Since leaves change and slowly disintegrate over time, I had to consider how best to achieve this. After a little experimentation I developed a technique that I call 'deconstructed crochet'. The techniques I used in this challenge are crochet, Irish crochet, deconstructed crochet, deconstructed Irish crochet, and deconstructed Tunisian crochet.<br /></span>

The Crochet Queen has always been supportive of crocheters as a group and of me as well. Check out her Blog here: <a href="http://crochetqueen-royalramblings.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Crochet Queen: Royal Ramblings</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I was a featured blogger on her site a while back. The Queen was a very helpful and gentle editor and allowed the use of many great images from her book, <span lang="EN-CA"><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fine-Art-Crochet-Innovative-Contemporary/dp/1481731866/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377881306&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Fine+Art+of+Crochet" target="_blank">The Fine Art of Crochet: Innovative Works From 20 Contemporary Artists</a></i></span> You can see the article here: <a href="http://crochetqueen-royalramblings.blogspot.ca/search?q=butterworth" target="_blank">Alternative Materials: A Practical Guide</a><br />
<br />
So thank you, Queenie, and thank you crochet for giving me a chance to explore my creativity and find a little peace along the way. <br /></span>

I designed this pattern to show that
randomness isn't all that scary. This pattern is both written and
charted and is designed so that anyone can crochet a βrandomβ lace
scarf. The benefit is that I have done the math so that the edges are
nice and even. Along with the pattern for the
scarf shown, I have included tips to help you delve further into
randomness. This pattern also includes instructions for blocking as
I think it helps bring out the beauty of any lace.</span></div>

Yes, good blogging for me is lots of pictures and a few words. Here we go...<br />
<br />
<br />
My first freeform piece made while touring Europe 1977-1978. I didn't know about freeform then, I called it doodling with yarn. It was made with one continuous thread and is framed in an old window with a partial screen that I found in the basement of my house which is over 100 years old:</span><br />

Things are gearing up for National Crochet Month. March will be busy and fun. I am getting ready for the Crochetville Blog Tour as my date is March 5th and I will be offering one of my patterns, Random Lace Scarf, free for a week to celebrate. My hope is to have crocheters discover the joy of freeform and randomness in general.

I started doing freeform work in crochet, but have also expanded into freeform beading. I think it was only natural that this would happen.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>

Hope you enjoy looking at my work!<br /></span>

Defining 'freeform' is a complicated task. If just picking up a hook and going for it were to be considered as 'freeforming', then all designers would be doing freeform whenever they design and this isn't true.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIlUcVxu2IjRvqMN_JlTCA1TCbZUd_UeYGITG1zF7NI58i8sJezWwqUNHLzG3iOsbmv3u5EMN-iI-56bvqZTHVDtBF-98-IbMQGwpdw4OXQlime3IwhGWqJc2Lwm4P6U-4KoJaKbfzLhOC/s2048/IMG_3582.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIlUcVxu2IjRvqMN_JlTCA1TCbZUd_UeYGITG1zF7NI58i8sJezWwqUNHLzG3iOsbmv3u5EMN-iI-56bvqZTHVDtBF-98-IbMQGwpdw4OXQlime3IwhGWqJc2Lwm4P6U-4KoJaKbfzLhOC/w300-h400/IMG_3582.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsX2Fyp6bAyQZO_2eSDHfAL9Gv6Ut_vbnc4UAMa-Y92w8SW-lwFC2DtF0K4I2QR_0X7iCkvMgp7_T0CLHp-Gxq7l0J-jHu8XyG4RnJXRtys8Cif3mcRTN6o5kWv4OnXUta893TtW0Aly5y/s2048/rollercoaster+bracelet+pic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1349" data-original-width="2048" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsX2Fyp6bAyQZO_2eSDHfAL9Gv6Ut_vbnc4UAMa-Y92w8SW-lwFC2DtF0K4I2QR_0X7iCkvMgp7_T0CLHp-Gxq7l0J-jHu8XyG4RnJXRtys8Cif3mcRTN6o5kWv4OnXUta893TtW0Aly5y/w400-h264/rollercoaster+bracelet+pic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Experimenting with different shapes and textures might be a candidate, but perhaps only if there is some sort of cohesion.

So just what is it? It cannot be merely working without a pattern or joining existing motifs in a new way. Many call it 'scrumbling' and I do like this idea as freeform seems to consist of a variety of irregular motifs. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXH_NpM4p6mwRY1Jjld73kMz0jT0F8dNj76t2O75AZ0scXy7ibMt5RMhoNmmBro9Rc5xqjWQqJ1Q40P1DNBvWYufVMkOWGm1xj_pXIK1LAhhByCRTnpncovn85f5bHQEzJt20oozkGglV/s1600/ff6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxNpPa-uPEGb0rcF6Y5YYfjd8hOTBwcXDAIEwoHmVIbTz8m-vYsLT8xFGO3-wEkgPc9czyKeXZ8kvcpHHjADY95qiKYOw0qKXMLY970jVWiTcveDYJ0vsl145ZmntQRSC4Ir-OEgMTTR2S/w240-h320/ff5.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXH_NpM4p6mwRY1Jjld73kMz0jT0F8dNj76t2O75AZ0scXy7ibMt5RMhoNmmBro9Rc5xqjWQqJ1Q40P1DNBvWYufVMkOWGm1xj_pXIK1LAhhByCRTnpncovn85f5bHQEzJt20oozkGglV/w238-h320/ff6.jpg" width="238" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm87bDVwxGUBmbsLptpfu5WSQUQ7sT0bYdEAejyHgTVrYqGGsrx1n_t0XFb76SNujUmjSefJY0VzjjXdvKfpjVGghe59uHO4RAOVJD-1naQIPHryHpE2IwQlDnVVQ1dAHkr7ZGaDIrv_7Z/w250-h333/ff7.jpg" width="250" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5OAXKka4LAcSXL5DGq-GR20lYVUUuXp_L660iDtr6_01SLDLz3zVl4lWSIHEPmNu6LYR-MK0XmJPEQaQPuG99Pc9IIbEiNzAm_Xsk0TCusz6yZjR3wvBWuFzqeGYqX0xZcuYVKTMMVlVc/s1600/ff1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5OAXKka4LAcSXL5DGq-GR20lYVUUuXp_L660iDtr6_01SLDLz3zVl4lWSIHEPmNu6LYR-MK0XmJPEQaQPuG99Pc9IIbEiNzAm_Xsk0TCusz6yZjR3wvBWuFzqeGYqX0xZcuYVKTMMVlVc/w320-h210/ff1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-5EsGvMMY0Fj04VyFdQego91VcG2f-3xQ_ZjvpQWjzNuko77ZqbxcRy5OdmoPrI7tPq2NBzOFtY-h1OWcHaBVgQ7NxfkROBiFNqn5O1dpl8HhrPREdAPyrHK8ghwaoXadC34-ap27_xUB/s1600/ff9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-5EsGvMMY0Fj04VyFdQego91VcG2f-3xQ_ZjvpQWjzNuko77ZqbxcRy5OdmoPrI7tPq2NBzOFtY-h1OWcHaBVgQ7NxfkROBiFNqn5O1dpl8HhrPREdAPyrHK8ghwaoXadC34-ap27_xUB/w551-h414/ff9.jpg" width="551" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Me, I like to think of freeform as an amorphous riot of colour and/or texture.
