Hi there! Nice to meet You!

I'm Daiga - a crochet enthusiast and full-time mom. I am crocheting for about 20 years and only after my babies twins were born I discovered my joy for creating crochet patterns! I created my first "official" pattern in March 2018, so I am still fresh in the designers shoes. I hope to share these beauties with other crochet lovers, just like me!

​How my patterns are born?

​From idea to publishing the patterns travel a long journey and sometimes it takes weeks or months till you see it. 

• Idea

Sometimes it starts from a rather specific idea what result I want but sometimes I just take any yarn, a hook and try something new, something different. Some patterns samples are born in few hours but sometimes it takes days and weeks until I get the creation that I am happy about. 

• ​Pattern sample 

After I try the idea and I am happy about the result it's about time to make a pattern sample. It happens that I have to make the corrections at this point as well and I have to re do sample even few times.

• Writing the pattern, chart, creating video tutorial, 

​First step is to write the pattern and it is not always as easy as it looks. Sometimes to crochet is easier than to write/to read the pattern. And recently I started creating video tutorials. I understand that not everybody can read the patterns and even if they do a visual demonstration at some points might be very helpful.

• Testing the pattern

​​All my patterns are tested by volunteers testers from Ravelry. I really appreciate their hard work and they help me to "polish" the pattern not only to be without mistakes but as easy as possible to understand as well! 

• Written pattern corrections

​I correct the written pattern taking into consideration testers advises and mistakes they noticed (if any)

• Publishing the pattern

​And finally after all those steps above are completed I can publish the pattern on my blog and Ravelry.

• Let crocheters know

I post my published patterns on Ravelry and my group at Facebook and other crochet fans groups so all you can try them and create your own beauty!
​And all this I can do only when my babies are sleeping.... no other way ;)

Why do I share some of my patterns free?

​If you read what a journey each pattern travels till it's published you can imagine that it is really very time consuming process and you may wonder - why do I share the fruits of my hard work free. My family budget would ask the same ´◡`
For me creating patterns is a pleasure, hobby, relaxation and satisfaction. A business would be stress and I really don't need it at all. I have two babies to take care of and I have enough obligations as mom. I don't want my hobby to become an obligation. I am happy to keep it as my hobby and I have only few paid patterns just to cover my expenses...
​I am pleased with every single "Thank you" and "Like" and it's a pleasure for me to see your creations made using my patterns.
Thank you everybody for your support, which ever way you feel like to express it! ​Your gratitude is more powerful than you think!
