Hello testers!

Please email me any pattern corrections and pictures of your tested squares.

Subscribe

UPDATE:
I re-added the subscribe feature. Jessica tells me that it will allow people to add my blog to a feeder (not sure what that is) and they will be able to read the blog from their computer.
It will however not allow you to add a comment to my blog so you can be a tester. So subscribe if you want, but come here to add a "comment" when the call goes out for testers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original post:
I took out the subscribe feature button because until someone tells me how it works, what you are supposed to do etc., I want to stop the confusion.

Just add comments about wanting to be a tester and I'll get them.

Become a follower also!

Flower Power - Testing Closed

THIS BLUE ONE IS CALLED FLOWER POWER PATTERN ONE

THIS SQUARE IS CALLED FLOWER POWER NUMBER TWO

I have no idea what they will be called later on and please tell me what you think they should be named.

I've been working on two Flower Power patterns. Both came out very different in my opinion. Not sure whether there is interest in them but I had fun designing them. I've got both patterns just about completed.

I am trying to get my act together and get some patterns ready for the new Ravelry store I signed up for and some patterns for the free patterns here and at Ravelry.

If people will just add a comment telling me you want to be a tester of the pattern. The comments are sent to me first by an instant email and I'll take the first so many who want to test it. Then I'll just update the blog to say CLOSED for testing. That's the only thing I can do.

What do you think? Comments appreciated and always welcome. I don't know how this whole blog thing works and feel computer stupid about it.

ALSO can someone PLEASE tell me why when I look at the posts, they show line spaces and after I post them now, they no longer show line spaces between paragraphs? If this comes out with spaces between paragraphs, no need to let me now why because it worked for once. BUT usually when I post and go back to edit - it takes out the line spacing.

Foxs Hearts All Around - Testing Closed

UPDATE: I'm new to blogging. I'm not understanding how "subscribing to a blog" and being a "follower" works. Please email me so that I can word my post the correct way. I'm trying to create a list of those that want to be conswidered for testing of new squares. Until someone answers this post and emails me, I suggest you either email me or post a comment.

Calling all testers. If you are interested in testing this new square, SUBSCRIBE to my blog. I have never used the blog before to look for testers so I hope when you subscribe it gives you a place to put your email address or it at least notifies those that want to test my patterns of a new testing opportunity. Someone will have to email me and let me know how you found out about the testing opportunity.

All testers should be able to complete the testing within 3 or 4 days. Have the ability to email me a picture of their completed masterpiece and help me check for errors in the pattern. So sending me a copy of the changes or errors in an email is probably be the best way to go in an email.

Don't post pattern corrections to the blog. They should come to me by email at SmoothFoxLover@yahoo.com I'd like to see pictures using a different color scheme of the pattern.

If someone's picture of the square is exceptionally pretty, I'd like permission to post it on the blog under the top link for pictures of items crocheted using my patterns and if possible use the picture at my ETSY store to show off the pattern.

Dexter and an Optical Illusion

I'm going to go into withdrawal! Next Sunday is the last episode of DEXTER!!!!
I absolutely love that show. Anyone else have Showtime and watch it?



Well back to crocheting. I was playing around the other night with some turquoise and white yarn and just started crocheting this weird square LOL. I have looked at it from different angles and it seems like an optical illusion in a way.

The first snow of the year

It's SNOWING!!! First snow of the year that's actually sticking. It's actually feeling like the Holidays now.

Gas is down to $1.54 in some areas. I never thought I'd see it again. I remember on 9/11/01 when the towers were hit, the price of gas that day was $1.28. Within 4 hours of the towers being hit the price of gas rose to $1.82 that day. It went back down over the course of time but after the past year of gas hoovering around $4.00, this is a huge break.
