It’s time for me to take a step back for a while. I’ve been suffering recently with killer tension headaches and I need to take better care of myself. I’ll let you into a secret: my patterns and tutorials are only any good as a result of endless hours of research, planning, and refinement, but […]

open zip files on your iPad
My patterns are instantly downloadable after purchase, as zip files. These pose no problem to current computers, which have built-in unzipping software (so you can open them and access the PDFs stored inside). But, unfortunately, iDevices have no native way to handle zip files, and iPad users have been understandably frustrated that their patterns are […]
crocheted gaming dice pattern
Gamers, take note: they’re here!
