New Beginnings

I hope none of you were holding your breath waiting for another blog post. Creativity involves experiments, failing, success, really screwing it up, getting up and trying again. So here we are to the trying again part.

Hi, I'm Nancy Hay and I'm a knitting pattern designer. In addition, I have two day jobs as an administrative assistant, I'm going to Spanish classes twice a week, and in my free time, I make time to design some knitted garment or accessory. I also make little felted hats for sale.

Recently, I was contracted to make a knitted hat pattern for the upcoming 2018 San Diego Yarn Crawl. Each of the 13 stops has freebies and sales over the four days. One of the freebies is a knitting pattern and a crochet pattern for all who come. I'm so excited!

The Alpacas of San Diego stop, in Descanso, is a bit of a drive, but they get a lot of Crawlers who come to check out the alpacas and the goodies for sale. I hope they will like my newest pattern, Cord Cutter Hat. Unfortunately for you readers, I can't show you the pictures yet, but will be able to show you once the Crawl starts on September 13 and runs through the 16th.

For more info on the Crawl, see their web page at http://sandiegoyarncrawl.com/.

I will schedule blog posts much more often now. *fingers crossed*
