Someday at Christmas...

 


SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS MEN WON'T BE BOYS
PLAYING WITH BOMBS LIKE KIDS PLAY WITH TOYS
ONE WARM DECEMBER OUR HEARTS WILL SEE 
A WORLD WHERE MEN ARE FREE 

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS THERE'LL BE NO WARS
WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED WHAT CHRISTMAS IS FOR 
WHEN WE HAVE FOUND WHAT LIFE'S REALLY WORTH
THERE'LL BE PEACE ON EARTH 

SOMEDAY ALL OUR DREAMS WILL COME TO BE
SOMEDAY IN A WORLD WHERE MEN ARE FREE
MAYBE NOT IN TIME FOR YOU AND ME
BUT SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMASTIME

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS WE'LL SEE A LAND 
WITH NO HUNGRY CHILDREN - NO EMPTY HAND 
ONE HAPPY MORNING PEOPLE WILL SHARE 
A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CARE 

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS THERE'LL BE NO TEARS 
WHEN ALL MEN ARE EQUAL AND NO MAN HAS FEARS
ONE SHINING MOMENT - ONE PRAYER AWAY
FROM OUR WORLD TODAY

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS MEN WILL NOT HAVE FAILED
HATE WILL BE GONE AND LOVE WILL HAVE PREVAILED
SOMEDAY IN A WORLD THAT WE CAN ALL START
WITH HOPE IN EVERY HEART.
SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMASTIME
~Jackson5


The love of family and friends. A renewal of faith and hope. And happiness that lasts throughout the year. These are the gifts I hope you receive this Christmas. 
Wishing you and your family a very safe and Merry Christmas.

Introducing Regis the Baby Reindeer

Did you know that Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is 72 years old this year? Everyone knows Rudolph, he's had great press for the past 70+ years - but his offspring are a little less known.  


Regis is one little reindeer that just cannot wait to join the ranks of Dasher, Dancer, Donner, Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Prancer and Vixen and one day become a flyer; just like his famous relatives.

It takes many years to rise to the challenge of pulling Santa's Sleigh.
First, reindeer have to play Reindeer Games so they can grow big and strong; but these aren't the Reindeer Games like Sleigh Races and Rooftop Hopping.  These games involve you and your little ones. 

Have you ever stopped and wondered just how Santa Claus knows exactly who's naughty and who's nice each year? Or have your little one's ever forgotten to write up their Christmas wish list, yet Santa Claus knows exactly what to bring? 

Well, it's little fledgling fliers, like Regis, who become the eyes and ears of Santa Claus and report back to the North Pole all the good deeds (and not-so-good deeds) of children all over the world. 


Regis is ready to come to life, with a little Christmas (and of course, Crochet) Magic.  Start a new tradition in your family with this adorable little amigurmi friend.
When crochet'd with a Size G hook, Regis measures approximately 10.5 inches in height in the sitting position - but should you prefer to create him in either the poseable or standing position, he measures approximately 14 inches in height.

G'Morning Angel


A glorious Monday morning that I woke to.  There is a crispness on the air - the birds singing and squirrels frolicking in the backyard...  such beauty that one only needs to look and see to appreciate.
But who has the time anymore?
 
Who just steps out their door with coffee (or tea) takes in a deep breath and admires the beauty that is all around them?  A beauty that can't be packaged, bought or wrapped...
 

It is these types of mornings, which bring me the most inspiration..
It was this sort of morning, a week or so ago, when I had a vision for an Angel.  Feverishly I worked on getting her just right.  From the waves in her hair, to the look of her sandals... of course, keeping every stitch as simple as possible.






I think she is perfect.  Of course, I am bias.. 
The KISS Angel, the newest in the 
KISS Series, is pushing the boundaries of  "keeping it simple" due to one slightly challenging method in which to make her knees and elbows bend - Yup, I said it; "her knees and elbows bend."   (yours don't?).
Aside from that, which could always be 'overlooked' and just crocheted static, she's as simple as the rest of the 
KISS Series and every bit as adorable.

She is currently in the 'testing' phase and will have her photo shoot mid-week and then available for you at FDbyK4TT Storefront.  She'd make the perfect little angel for your little angel - model measuring nearly 16 inches tall when crocheted with a Size G hook and using Worsted Weight yarns.


Angels are so perfect for this time of year... when we think of all we've accomplished over the past 12 months - and more importantly, what's still left to be done.  
We all could use an angel watching over us...

Poultry is Poultry?

Readers who've followed me long enough, know that I get some of the wildest excitement from seeing my doodles done by another's hand. 

Their interpretation of my vision.  The artistic flare that their eye sees when they view one of my doodles.  What their mind actually envisions when they view one of my completed designs.    Where they would take it, how they would do it differently.. make it 'their own'.

It's just very ... it is amazing to see where others take you on their journey of creativity.  I find myself often thinking  - OMG!  I didn't even see that!  How original!  Something as simple as a color change, or an extra embellishment here or there...  well it really can put a whole new spin on a design.

In April of this year, a brilliantly creative client of mine had purchased several patterns from both the KISS Series as well as the Sculptured line.   She was generous enough to share the photographs of her wonderful KISS Zebra and Lion; but it had been some time since I had heard from her. The last I heard, she said she was going to begin working on a bunny...





That was until the other day..
"Dear K4TT, a few months ago I purchased your Pilan the Poult pattern and I was so busy I never got to create it. I just wanted to share these few pictures with you. Your pattern was a great inspiration when a friend of mine needed a hen for a Christmas gift for her 2 year old niece. I just used your body part as head and vice versa (to have a smaller and more hen-like head) and created a comb. My friend loves it very very much and I can't wait till Christmas to hear about her niece's reaction. So thank you very much for you great work! You are my inspiration."

UPDATE: "My friend likes the chicken so much that she won't give it away and she will give it to her daughter instead. Just to keep it home."

Needless to say, I am so thrilled!  Thrilled!!!  I LOVE the chicken!!  I think it is so brilliant!!  So adorable and just the sweetest derivative works created from one of my designs!

Hmm.. I think I may actually want it to come to the States to live with me... :)

Thank you for sharing Zuzana - Your friend is truly blessed to have you in her life.  It is wonderful clients like you, Zuzana, which inspire me.  I want to see what you do with Maxie... hmm.. but since you've not purchased him, I think I will just have to send him to you.

I Hate Chain Starts!!!!

I have seen so many complaints about "chain starts" that it honestly began to baffle me.
I've had one or two people write to me requesting that I re-write a pattern so that they can begin with a "magic circle" instead of a 'chain' and even had one who accused me of using camera tricks and that I was using glue or something to "not have gaps in my beginning (chain) round"

Now, I say baffle me because I've never had an issue with gaps or spaces when I begin with a chain and before I began designing larger amigurumi, I was a thread bear/animal fanatic.  So, I just accepted that perhaps my tension was extremely tight.

NO, I do not use a smaller hook for the beginning chain round, that would be changing the pattern - if the pattern calls for a Size G Hook, that is what I use through and through.
No, I do not sew anything together - I do not use glue or any 'designer tricks' - I think the glue would be too hard once dried (as I use superglue at the finish off of a doily) - and I really don't know any designer "tricks" per se.

Chain starts are very common in many Asian amigurumi instructions, so perhaps when I was taught, I was not taught as most Americans are taught- perhaps my way of doing things isn't normal... which wouldn't really surprise me as I've been told my entire life that I "have my own way of doing things - right or wrong".
It wasn't until a fellow designer posted a 'tutorial' about crocheting an oval that I realized why so many people were having gap issues - they are splitting the chain!

Any-who-diddle:

A tutorial to help anyone who is having a problem with spaces, gaps or just wants to learn a different way of beginning a project with a "chain start".

Perhaps the pattern reads as such:

Chain 11,
Inc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in ea of nxt 8 sts, 4 sc in end ch st - turn piece to allow you to work up the other side of original beg chain (as if a flat round), sc in ea of nxt 8 sts, Inc in last st.  (24 sts)

You begin your chain - 


Your chain - and from the side (this is important!)


Do you notice the little 'hump' behind each chain?


When I was taught to crochet in the chain, it was these little humpy bumps that the first row of stitches were worked into - whether the project was for an amigurumi, a blanket or an article of clothing - a chain in almost any other item would show, you want it to look as polished as the rest of the project, not 'loopy' or like someone has pulled at it.

Working the chain - completing the stitches instructed by the designer, but working in these 'humps' rather than splitting the chain. 
*I decided to change colors to emphasize the different 'sections' of this tutorial.


Here you can see what I've done (in purple) with the first few stitches
Continuing to follow the instructions, single crochet stitch being placed in each hump directed, then 4 single crochet in the last stitch's hump/turning the piece as the final stitch is placed to allow the piece to be worked on the opposite side of the chain.


As you can see from the photo, the chain is very 'full' this way and not flimsy or being pulled by your stitches - it almost looks as if you are crocheting in ROWS instead of crocheting around a chain.

Now you can see the end result is much cleaner, more polished - no holes, no gaps, no smaller hooks, no sewing - no tricks!


I hope you have found this tutorial useful - and perhaps, you may learn to love chain starts as much as I do.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Again)




Q:  How can I reach you?
A: Obviously, for me to answer the question.. you've reached me!!  Yeah!!   You can always reach out to me by using the "Contact Seller" convo button on Etsy or by sending me a Direct Messages either on Ravelry or on Twitter.  
However, the quickest, most reliable method to alert me that you need to contact me is to send me an eMail to fiberdoodles [@] gmail [.com]



Q:  I have a question about a pattern I bought from you, how can I reach you?
A: On the title page of each pdf I put out, you can find all my contact information (email address, shops where my patterns are sold).  You can always reach out to me by using the "Contact Seller" convo button on Etsy or by sending me a Direct Messages either on Ravelry or on Twitter.  
However, the quickest, most reliable method to alert me that you need to contact me is to send me an eMail to fiberdoodles@gmail.com

It is NEVER okay to post instructions from my patterns online in an attempt to get answers that way.



Q:  I think you made a mistake, is this pattern wrong?
A: I make every effort humanly possible to insure that when a pattern is released, that it is error free.  But do errors still occur from time to time?  Sure, I am not am neither a computer or a robot and neither are my testers/associates.  There have been a few instances where a pattern slipped through the cracks with an error.  

Most times I have been contacted, however, it's been that an instruction has been misread, or a repeated pattern of stitches not read correctly.

There are always notes at the beginning of each pattern designed to address any challenges that you may encounter in creating the project - special stitches that  may used, as well as a "key"  for the commonly used terms.  I also created a tutorial on "how to read patterns" on this blog that can often help clear up any confusion in the writing.
In most instances - these will resolve the issue that you may feel is wrong with the pattern and save the wait time for me to respond to your eMail.

If you do find an error, however, please do not hesitate to ask me about it!



Q:  I don't like working in chains, can I use a Magic Circle instead?
A: You COULD - but it won't like like the photo.  
Working in chains is really not that challenging, even though it may seem that way if you learned a less reliable method of this technique.  That's why I wrote a tutorial several years ago to help. You can read that tutorial here. 



Q:  Can I sell what I make from your patterns?
A: The short answer is Yes, you certainly can sell what you make from patterns purchased from FiberDoodles by K4TT!  In fact, I encourage it and try to help you out!! 
But there are some 'rules' for using my patterns to sell your art.  For more information in the limitations of selling projects made from my patterns, please see the EULA (End User Licensing Agreement) page on this blog. Don't worry, it's not as 'restrictive' as it sounds.



Q:  Do you sell patterns in other languages/Can I translate for you?
A: No, I do not. And no, you may not.   If you see my patterns written in Russian, Dutch, French or any other language, they are stolen property.  
I would love it if my patterns were in every language that is spoken on this planet - however, my patterns are more than just written instructions.  They are a part of me and my vision of the world around me - it's also MY reputation.  

I do not have my patterns translated into languages that I cannot communicate in.  This is for my client's protection.  Part of why clients continue to return to FiberDoodles by K4TT for their crochet needs, is because I will take the time to help, explain and if need be, make tutorials to assist my clients create my visions.  In order to do this, there must be fluent communication between designer and client to understand where a problem lays.  
Things like Google Translate and other online translators are 'okay', but they are not crochet oriented - so miscommunications can happen.

I have had friends, people I have known for years, offer to translate into French and Dutch as well as German, Italian and Spanish. However, because I am not fluent in these languages to converse with clientele that may purchase them; I have not taken advantage of such services.



Q:  All of your photos say not to share on sharing sites.  Does this mean I can't add it to my Pinerest Album or share on my Twitter/Facebook Page?
A: All of my photos are my intellectual property and contain a watermark that indicates you may not share on sharing sites.  This makes it easier for the copyright side of websites to remove my content from sites where it should not be - such as illegal share groups. 
You are more than welcome to share anyof my original public posts on your own  private blog, Facebook Page, add to your Pinterest Catalog, etc. provided you include a link to the pattern souce and where it's sold or given freely (the FDbyK4TT Blog or FDbyK4TT Store).
Depending on options available to you, you may have to copy/paste the link to public post (the http://).  It is never okay to copy/paste or right click/download & repost content, share coupon codes, etc - void of the authentic original post without linking back to me as the owner & designer of the content you are sharing.

The term "Sharing Sites" is the nice way of saying 'Stealing Sites" and usually have a comment with them such as 'seeking' or 'do you have' - these are sites with the expressed intent of sharing pirated copyright materials. 



Q:  Do you offer discounts for multiple purchases?
A: No, I do not. Or at least not very often.  I do have sales from time to time, which sometimes is a BOGO (Buy One/Get One) and host giveaways during the school season - this, I believe, creates opportunities for everyone to get the best deals on my patterns. I often just randomly give patterns away - because of a comment made... a completed project shared... just on a whim.

But generally, my clients make the price (and then some) of each pattern back, with the sale of their own completed project made from my pattern(s); especially those who make large and multiple purchases.
