New design Tuesday - Magcloud

I looked into printing patterns via Magcloud a couple of years ago and was very impressed with the quality, however at the time there was no way to sell print patterns directly to customers via MagCloud. Now they do offer the service and I feel it is a good way for me to ease into offering printed patterns for sale.

Please note that while postage within the US is very reasonable, postage to New Zealand is more pricey (but not more pricey than many other companies). I will be offering printed patterns for sale in NZ LYS this year, so you may wish to wait. The printed patterns do cost slightly more than my .pdf patterns, but please note that you do receive a .pdf file as well as the printed pattern.

Free Friday - new directions

Sorry my lovelies, it was a wee bit of a bad weekend extended  family wise so the blog went to the bottom of the queue, still that gave you more time to enter!

Today my to do list has "Brainstorm the future of JustJussi" on it, since I'm alone except for the cats, I am asking you, my friends to help me out, a "virtual" brainstorming session if you like. This is happening over on my Facebook page and I would love to have your input, here is the link (it opens in a new window so you can still enter this contest)

The winner this week is CarolinaLotl, I'll gift the pattern to you via Ravelry, I do hope you enjoy it!

This weeks giveaway is the Acheron cardigan, the design combines hand painted and plain coloured yarn in a plain cardigan suitable for girls and boy. I need to re-knit this one myself, it's just easy and effective, I am thinking that it would look nice with some i-cord frog closures or buttons...hmm things to think about!

To win this  pattern please say "Hi" in the comments.
