I was thrilled to see my Garden Party Hat free pattern in top five patterns to crochet this summer, published at Craftsy. 
From the Craftsy blog:
There are still a few weeks left of summer, just enough time to finish a few fun, quick projects before getting back – to – school.
We all like a freebie, and what’s better than to find FIVE free crochet patterns all in one spot? Summertime is the time for crocheting small. I love a good afghan, but this time of year, I just don’t want to hold the afghan while I’m working on it!
Thanks a lot Stefanie for including my pattern!

Ethno Chic Crocheted Vest. Preview
| August 1, 2011 | Filled under Uncategorized |
It was such a Fun to work on something special for my daughter by her request and we both are so glad with result! Not to mention it’s always a pleasure to work with Ultra Pima by Cascade Yarns. Their quality of yarn and color shades are just amazing! The only thing… I found that this kind of cotton is a bit heavy for this design, so probably I’ll try to find something similar, but cotton blend with bamboo or wool – let me see. And I think to work on a coat version too since I really love this lace pattern ;o)
More new designs are coming pretty soon… I still need to take the the pictures and sure write the patterns. Well, I’ll keep you updated!
Happy and productive week to everyone!!
