This week in the shop was lovely, I'm starting to get the hang of the point of sale system and the way things work, but I have definitely got the hang of chatting to customers and helping them with their knitting and purchases and I'm loving the interaction, being able to actually help someone and know that they have learnt something and leave happy, love, love, love it!
Now that I am able to work on Just Jussi again, I am busy editing my pattern layouts to enable them for print, so that you can buy them in your LYS. I've purchased new charting software because I hated working with my previous one, and the version I had was Windows based, so had to run in a partition on my hard drive...blah, blah, blah, long story short after much research I bought Stitch Mastery which has great service and back up, easy to understand processes and a lovely Ravelry group. Stitchy mastery has vector based graphics so the charts always look crisp, and the charts are easy to edit, you can add your own words and edit fonts etc to make the chart fit with your pattern layout to make it look nice.
This weeks winner is number 4
That is Jessica, who has requested the Dolly Mixture e-book (I have gifted it to you via Ravelry Jessica) Jessica specifically mentioned the Matryoshka vest (its my favourite too!)
The e-book contains patterns for a sweet cardigan, vest and bubble skirt for sizes 1-8 years, and charts for a large Matryoshka, a set of 3 Matryoshka, a set of 2 Kokeshi (shown on skirt) and a small single kokeshi so that you can decide which design to put on which garment.
I'm sticking with this format for a few more weeks, all you have to do is leave a comment telling me which pattern you would like to win (either look at my website or Ravelry).
So, go to the comments and tell me which pattern you would like - good luck!
Housekeeping:
