This Year in Designing

I have just compiled all my tax information for the year and sent it off to my "people". Compiling this information is always so stressful. I had to start the process with a couple of Tylenol. 

And, here is the year-end information for my wee designing business.

The top 5 pattern designs being sold on my websites, in order of popularity, are:

  1. Garden Party Wrap
  2. Dreams Shawl
  3. Nautical Waves Afghan
  4. Sonrisa Empire Waist Top
  5. Butterfly Wings Afghan

This year:




  • Other than the 13 designs in the book above, I believe that I've seen 17 other designs published. I made two covers this year!





  • One of my designs, Oasis Wrap, was available on tear-off sheets, which was really cool. I handed them out like candy.
  • I became a part of a group of designers, self-publishing on the internet, Straight from Today's Designers.
  • I attended the Knit & Crochet Show in New Hampshire during the summer and Christian walked the catwalk with one of my designs, a full tuxedo, completely in crochet. Pants and all!


  • I believe that I actually stitched and wrote patterns for about 62 different things. Whew!

And, I think that's about all I'm going to remember right now. It's been quite a ride!
