  11. Hi Shara,

    I found your gorgeous pattern on ravelry, and its just what I need. A friend has asked me to make her a hat and I wondered if I could get your permission for making and selling the finished article. I don't have a web page but I do have a Facebook page and I will link the finished photos back here to credit your pattern. Would that be OK? But anyway thanks for total awesomeness in the design department!!!

  13. Hi, Shara! I'm in North Carolina, USA. I have made the Voyages Beanie for my husband's aunt, and his cousin promptly put it on. They both love it, as so my friends on FB who have seen it. I'm asking permission to sell it on my Etsy shop, giving you full credit for the design.

    Please check out my page to get an idea of what I have there. This is definitely one of my favorite patterns so far.

  14. Hi again, Shara! As I just wrote to you on the other post, I will leave my question about the Voyages Beanie here in the right place! I have a question regarding the round that goes back to colour A after having done the round with colour B. You should skip a stitch the entire way around the hat, right? If this is the case, wouldn't it be more clear to place the asterisk before "skip 1 st"? The way it's written, to me it seems as if you only skip that first time and don't repeat the skip after each 1ch. I (and the rest of the CAL group!) would love to hear your opinion! Thanks so much and just *love* your patterns! :) Lisa

  16. Hello Lisa :-) Thank you so much for letting me know you had found this anomaly in the pattern. You're 100% right, and I have updated the pattern accordingly :-)
    I don't employ tech editors or test knitters/crocheters to test my free patterns, like I do with my paid patterns, so it's just me doing the testing and occasionally I miss little omissions such as this one, so I really do appreciate observant readers who contact me should there be any errors :-)
    Amazingly out of the 1,000's of people who have made hats using this pattern, you are the first person to contact me to let me know about this error, so I really do appreciate you taking the time to write and let me know :-)
    And, oddly, with all the pictures I have seen online, via Pinterest, Etsy, Facebook, Instagram etc of the hats others have made using this pattern they have all looked correct and none have shown evidence of this error, so it seems everyone had just figured it out for themselves, but not let me know, LOL!
    I hope you're enjoying the pattern! I'd love to know if theres somewhere I could see the beanies you're making in this CAL? If you're on Instagram tag any images with #voyagesbeanie or @shara_made and I'll see them there :-)

  17. Hi Shara, That is so funny, because I also looked through the comments here and on Ravelry and didn't find anyone mention this mistake. And, like you said, all the images I saw of the hats looked perfect, so I thought that it was just me, being a beginner, that didn't understand properly! I finished my beanie yesterday and LOVE it! Now my husband wants one, too! I will take pictures today and post them on Ravelry and in the CAL group I linked to before (https://www.facebook.com/events/1413524718890070). Thanks so much! :) Lisa

  19. Hello Shara, I love this pattern and have it queued on Ravelry. I haven't made anything requiring me to check tension before so I have a question, sorry if the answer's obvious. When working a swatch to test the gauge, what stitch should I use? I am assuming trebles (UK terminology)? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hello Sarah :-) Thank you for your message :-) And you're right, the stitch used to check your tension is treble. To get the best indication of your tension its a good idea to begin with a few more stitches than the pattern suggests should be within 10cm, so for example, in this pattern you should be getting 16 sts per 10cm, so it would be a good idea to begin with about 24sts, and do at least 10 rows before checking your tension. This way if you're a little bit out, your tension swatch will have a little extra room to accomodate any variations and allow for easier calculations and give you a better idea of how many hook sizes you may need to go up or down (unless of course your tension is spot on!) I hope this helps :-) Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help :-)

  20. Brilliant, thanks for getting back to me! Crocheted a swatch of trebles as instructed and have switched down to a 4mm hook. Enjoying it so far, though may have to add a row or two; I must have a large head!
