Im a very lucky girl . This is my second pattern published in this month's Inside Crochet.I design items months before they are published .I often forget what I have made as I'm always knee deep in projects .so, when I am in the magazine ,it really is a great surprise. I sit with a cup of tea in my favourite chair and slowly I go through the magazine,savouring the moment I see my work.
Every since I can remember I have always wanted to have my work immortalised forever in a book. I know I'm sounding rather dramatic but its really meant a lot to me. I come from the world where everything was learnt through books. When the library was the biggest source of knowledge .I read encyclopedias and used dictionaries. The days before computers were "de rigeur" , It is all so very different now, that's not a bad thing, progress is great but a little sad for someone like me. (
OK, I will stop now , as I have just re:read this and I sound like a old lady talking about the good old days. )
I guess what I m trying to say is having my patterns published makes me extremely happy. The styling is so fabulous, my work comes to life, it tells a story.My work becomes whatever you want it to be. A picture really does paint a thousand words.
For more wonderful styling check out Claire's blog.
And so you should be very proud of having your work published. I think it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI know we must move with the times etc etc but I still hold a torch for flicking through pages of a book.
I think your patterns are awesome and you are a very clever lady, you must be so proud to be featured so often in Inside Crochet, it really is a proper good read, always value for money and always makes me smile when I see a pattern from you in there.
