The story of a Starry Night (part 5)

The Designer really wanted to release the pattern by the end of May.  This gave her something to aim for and to focus on when things did not go quite right! Trust me!  This happened on a regular basis. In fact, if things started going too smoothly, the Designer would start getting worried. However, the photos she had received from Rob made her smile every time she looked at them.

With just one more set of "How To" photos and video to make, the Designer sat down to carry on with them. The photos were taken, the video was made and the UK version of the pattern was finished! This made the Designer smile even more.

The next day was the release of the final part of her CAL so, she got up earlier than usual and released it early. The plan was to have nothing to do except work on "Starry Night" when she finished in the shop at lunchtime. Surprisingly enough, this all went to plan!

The pattern was translated to US terms and the listing was created on the Designers instant download pattern website, Rainbow Valley A second listing for the yarn packs was created on the Designers shop website, also Rainbow Valley The Designer notified a couple of groups she was in and went to bed!

The next morning the Designer woke up to discover lots of emails about pattern sales and yarn pack sales.

This made the Designer positively grin!

Tunisian Patchwork CAL - Week 20

The final part of the Tunisian Patchwork CAL is here.

This week is the Border. It uses a few new stitches but I have put my new found video editing skills to use and there is a video to help you along. The link is in the pattern.

Here is a very quick recap of the stitches used in the CAL. As the CAL has now finished, the complete pattern is available from CAL page on Rainbow Valley.

Sometimes I wonder . . . .

. . . just why I do these daft things!!!!

The last couple of weeks I have been on yet another steep learning curve-video editing!

I needed a video to help some of the people who were having problems making one of the blocks in the Tunisian Patchwork CAL.  After about 657 times of going wrong, cussing and starting all over again, I decided that I had to be brave and learn how to edit instead.

I asked on my lovely UKHKA Shop owners group for a free program suitable for absolute beginners and Capcut was recommended. My first couple of attempts were not wonderful but, finally, I started getting to grips with things and made this! It even has music!

There are lots of other videos over on my YouTube channel, most of which I didn't edit, if you fancy taking a look.
