Magazines

While Karen's been showing up how she designs her sweaters (it's beautiful, BTW Karen), I've been struggling with pattern submission.

I've been making these gloves for some time, and I was ready to write the pattern and sell it too.

One of my goals this year is to get published in a magazine, and when ! got the editorial calendars for a couple of magazines, I realized I had better get a pattern around NOW!

So I did, I was almost finished writing the pattern when my files all deleted from my thumb drive (glad I had them all backed up elsewhere). Then I had to do it again.

When I went to re write the pattern, I modified it, so that it would be a little easier to make. Took out the little bits between the fingers.

I agonized over this pattern for weeks!

I am N.E.R.V.O.U.S.! wondering what I could have done wrong, looking over the pattern again and again.

And I can't even share the photo!!

I think I just need to go write the slouchy hat pattern now.
