Introducing "Amber"

Some of you may remember back in February when I had the “Show yourself some love” contest if you did a few things to help get the word out about my Facebook page and blog. I had a great time running that contest because in the end I knew there would be one lucky winner who could choose whatever they wanted from the Etsy Shop. Well at the end of that contest Amber Gintare was the winner and she decided to get her very own, custom made Knit Chunky Collar. I got busy and got it done before having my baby, but it took several weeks to reach Amber in Lithuania. Just last week she contacted me to say that she’d received her package and in her own words:

“OMG, it's so amazing. literally my jaw dropped. . . from the picture I could see it was beautiful, but in real - it's above beautiful. I am loving it! Thank you so so so much for it. It's really amazing (and all the people I showed it to were amazed)”


How could I not be happy to have made it especially for her! She selected the yarn color and I just worked it up. Then, I asked that she send me photos and boy did she deliver! So, I decided to do two things, with Amber’s permission of course: 1) I’m renaming the wrap to “Amber”: 2) and I’m using her lovely appreciation photos as the ads for the custom wrap.

A few weeks ago Sara contacted me via convo at my Etsy Shop because she was having a bit of trouble with my hat pattern. I know sometimes the wording in a pattern can be confusing, which is why I always work on answering pattern questions quickly. Nothing like being in the middle of a pattern and not knowing what you did wrong or where to go from there. But I digress. . . I responded to her inquiry as soon as I could and told her not to worry, she'd surely get it done right.

Well, not that long afterwards I got another convo from her stating that she had indeed completed the hat and that her daughter loved it! Not only that, she improvised and added a strap with buttons to embellish the brim. She also let me know she was going to make a bunch more to sell at her daughter's school for a craft fair!

As you can see, she did an amazing job and it excites me to see her loving the pattern so much she wants to continue to work it over and over again!

If you've worked up one of my patterns, whether it's a free one from the blog or one that you've purchased, I'd love to see photos of your finished project! It's eye candy and everyone would love to see what personal touches you put on the project. Just email me, or contact me via Etsy and I'll take it from there.

Congratulations Sara on getting the project done over and over again! I'm so happy it worked out for you and I hope the craft fair is a huge success!!!
