I have a few dozen crochet patterns that I have designed and written, but that does not mean that they are done. That just means that I can use it.
In order to offer a crochet pattern for sale, here are the things you must do:
1. Come up with an idea.
2. Work on creating the item and write down the stitches and steps used.
3. Write, re-write and make changes to get it the way you envisioned it.
4. Make up a sample.
5. Get someone or a few people to test your pattern.
6. Get the perfect picture (the picture is everything)
7. Type up your pattern in a professional manner using some type of desk top publishing program.
8. Covert your pattern into a PDF
9. Place it for sale, cross your fingers that someone else will think your baby is as cute as you do.

I want to thank everyone who wrote to encourage me and all your kind words on the baby penny loafer pattern. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.
So, I just wanted to tell you that these shoes are RIDICULOUSLY adorable! I love them because they actually look like shoes, not just little booties. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a pattern soon!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanted to say that I liked your entry about learning to crochet. I learned from my grandma, too, but not until I was in high school. I, unfortunately, had to move away from her when I was young, so it took until a random visit she made to my home in Georgia before I had a chance to learn. I, also, am her only decendant to learn this craft from her. My mom and aunts can make a chain, I think...but that's about it. My grandmother is very close to me, and it was nice to read your entry about your grandmother :)
I look forward to reading more of your blog! You seem to have a very interesting life!
