Last parts of Egyptian Dreams freebie

 Hello and good morning :) 

And a beautiful one it is today ! The sun is shining (until late afternoon when it's supposed to start raining if the forecast is right) and the best is that I have a couple of days off now after finishing my shift last night :) 

I started my day with a nice lay-in and got out of bed later than normal. I would have stayed cocooned and comfy under my quilt for longer , but hey ....you know.... that bladder wouldn't let me any longer :) 

So I just made myself a nice cup of coffee , stuck the first machine of laundry on and write this blogpost before anything else . 

And there are a few bits and bobs to show today before I post those freebie links ! 

I like my quick projects in between those that seem to take forever . Plus trying out and learning new patterns is always a good thing .

This is what is called " Mock English rib"

Fancy trying it? 

It's made by a combination of simple knit and purl stitches to create a fantastic texture. 
It's simply a two row repeat pattern. 

Row 1 : knit 3 , purl one , repeat to end of row

Row 2: knit 1 ,purl 1, knit 3, purl one , repeat knit 3 purl one till the end 

Repeat these two rows 

For this chunky yarn I cast on 20 stitches. 

And from this simple pattern practice I made a soft, chunky scarf , stitched on faux fur pompoms at the ends and voila ,it's done :) 

And I designed some more. I found a hidden folder on my external drive and it contained a couple of designs I started , but never finished. 

Well, they are being finished now ! 

This is the first one -Dream 

Layout made with "Dream" and remembering my beloved Reggie, who passed away today in 2014. It's hard to believe that it's already 7 years ago. 😚

The other new one is another fall kit . My favourite time of year :) 

I'm working on a series of seasonal kits , which will all be designed to mix and match. The last one in a previous post was "Falling into Fall" , which is for the very beginning of the changing season. Going from Summer into Fall. This one is for being right in the middle of the season. 

And I already have the name and idea for the next one ."Fall-ing into Winter"  

New kits will be available soon .....watch this space ! 😀

Okay .... now to the freebie links for you. 

These are the last 3 links

 ....and only a day later as planned :) 

Hi everybody ..... I don't know, my brain must be suffering from this humid warm weather in the moment. I actually forgot I agreed to swap my shifts and turned up for the early instead of the late shift. Much to the amusement of my co workers 😂

For some reason these shift changes have knocked me out of my "normal" .I'm tired and still 3 more shifts to do. But I got a lot of designing done . Yup, more new kits to show ! 

A crafty kit :) Only just finished.

Still have to do detailed previews and some quickpages.

An elegant , romantic floral kit.

And the first Winter kit is done as well. 

Doing the detailed previews and quickpages, sorting into folders, naming files and uploading almost  takes as long as designing the kit itself. 

Well not quite , but most people seriously under estimate the time and work that goes into making these kits. 

From the initial idea/theme , then collecting the resource and design materials , bringing what is pictured in your head actually on to the screen.....you get the idea ! 

What you download in minutes takes hours to create. 

Not to mention buying or even creating the materials for the deign idea to start with. I only use commercial licensed digital products. I'm picky that way and stick to the rules. Anyway, let me gives you the links now , and then I have to ready for work.

There will be the last 3 parts in 2 weeks time and the kit will be complete then. 

If you have any interest in knitting/crochet patterns, I have added some nice projects to the pattern page. And I'm still gathering more links with new projects to post on that page. 

But for now.... stay healthy and crafty, and until next post 

Hugs Snowy
