As a way of getting more people into the community the Inner Circle and I have decided to give one pattern away for free, so people can see just how good the patterns available are. I need to decide which one to give away. Please vote on the one that would have made you want to join the community to get?

Before I started this community I was doing a lot of work with Cricut making designs and projects for people to use. So, I learned how to design mugs, tote bags, phone cases, notebooks, those sorts of things. If I can design items for this community with our logo, or daily laugh or daily encouragement quotes on them would that be something you would be interested in purchasing? I don't want to waste time if there is no interest. If you would be interested what type of items would you like to see?

Happy Easter everyone! Yesterday my time was spent trying to see how well I could do short rows on the Addi for socks. They are my love language.💕. After a whole day of some serious frustration, I came to the conclusion that I’m going to have to really work on that more to get short rows for heels and toes that look nice on the Addi. I did however make these with the 22 that uses a drawstring on the toe in the heel. This is a variation on a pattern and I found by Yay for Yarns. Are they perfect? No. And I don’t like socks and worsted weight. So they’re more like house slippers to me. But, I’m going to try this with doubled sock yarn, and see what the results might be. I will keep you posted!

I’m still not well,but just wanted to say Happy Easter to you all,enjoy your family time today and wishing you all well.🐣🐣
