Note About Absence

I just wanted everyone to know I will be visiting my sister from January 10th through the 24th. If you have a question about downloading a calendar, you can contact Emily at emily@designs-by-emily.com. She will be glad to help you with any questions you may have. For those that want a printed copy (the instructions are mentioned on the right side of this screen) I will forward you a copy as soon as I return.

Thanks
Janet

Christmas Pattern Links



I put the below information on the MonthlyDishcloth group's file section along with some other groups I belong too. It was a little dis-heartening that not everyone wanted it in the format I uploaded it as and I had to also put it up as a pdf file, and of course there was a problem with the adobe software and it took way longer than I had intended ssssooooo, I am not making it any format here, only providing the info that was in the document.


If you want some Christmas patterns here are a few spots to visit, some are crochet and some are knitted.

This Is Important to All of Us

2009 Knitting Calendar "Dishcloth Hangups for 2009" can also be purchased:

Downloadable version:


Printed Version: Visit paypal.com and select "send money" and send $25 to jnogle@cox.net giving your name and address and I will send you a printed copy.




















Calendar Of Hope 2009:
Most of you that know me, know I lost my husband last October to cancer. It was a very difficult time for me to accept my new set of circumstances and I am still dealing with it. The reason I have brought this up is to let everyone know that Cindy Moore (a survivor herself) has put a beautiful calendar together along with some designers to promote the research for Breast Cancer. I urge everyone to at least check out this calendar. This is a very good cause and could help in aiding your sister, your mother or a friend that may contract this disease.

You can purchase at the following site:

WOW I have my calendar, now what?

I first want to thank all of you for supporting our efforts in continuing a calendar every year with household items...this is my love.

The next item is for those that haven't purchased a calendar yet. We have two (2) options, a download calendar and a printed calendar. The download version is $18 and the printed version is $25.00. If you purchase a download version but have since wished you had purchased a printed version, I can send you a printed version for a slight fee. Some people prefer one over the other.

If you bought a printed copy, you probably like the idea of having all the info in one document that truly can be used as a calendar. For those that received the download version you have lots of options. First, you can't miss place your copy. You can put it on a disk and take it to your local office supply place if you do want a bound copy. You should probably find out how much they would charge you to do that. Last year it was very expensive to have them print and bound. It would probably be better to print it out, front and back yourself and take to the office supply place and just have them bind it. You can also print your copy and break it down by month or item and arrange how you want it. Some people request a printed version from me but they request that it NOT be bound. Once they get their copy, they put them in page protectors and put in a notebook.

You also have the option of joining the Yahoo group for the 2009 Knitting calendar. That is where the photos and patterns are kept. We do that because some people who have dial up Internet service want a way to open documents quickly and just get the patterns they want to work on at one time. They also don't want to keep a large document on their hard drive. We will be doing something a little different with this group. They would like to have the opportunity to do KAL's so we might open it up to that and then maybe twice a year introduce a new pattern to the group. So if you purchased the calendar and want to join this group just go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/2009knittingcalendar/ and request membership to the group.

If you haven't purchased a printed copy of the calendar and want to get one, go to paypal.com and select "send money" and send $25 (1 calendar) to jnogle@@cox.net if you want more than one calendar you can contact me at jnogle@cox.net for details.

If you want a download version, here is the button to click to purchase one:
once you pay you will be sent an email with instructions on how to download your copy.

Any pattern corrections will be posted here and in the Yahoo Group.

There is a corrected copy of the Petit Fleurs bib on our Yahoo group for those interested. Midway through the pattern, a series of rows starting with row 8 were repeated unneccessarily. If you are working from a printed copy just make note NOT to start row 8 but continue with the sequence rows.

Thanks for your support

Calendar Update and Request

Hi everyone, I have not had the time to be on email very often with printing, binding and mailing off the calendars. I have checked and responded to those I knew about but apparently when the download was first introduced to everyone on this website, PayLoadz had a bit of a "glitch" and downloads were not progressing like they should have. They were hounded by me and several of you to get their act straight but it took a little longer than it should have.

I sent emails out to as many people that I knew would want to know what was going on but for some reason my server couldn't keep up and I did not receive all the emails so if you experienced a problem with your download, please contact me at jnogle@cox.net and make the subject line "download not received" or something like that and I will correct for you and make sure you receive the download. We will be changing providers in the future and will no longer give Payloadz our calendar business.

If you ordered a "printed" version of the calendar from Sept 5-22nd all of them have been mailed out. So if you ordered a calendar during that time period you should either have the calendar by now or have seen an email from me saying it was on it's way to you. If neither has happened, please contact me at jnogle@cox.net so I can check on the status for you.

I apologize for the inconvenience and if you let me know what email you want me to use to send your paid download copy, I will get it out to you as soon as possible. I will respond by "replying" as soon as I receive your email so you know that I have it.

Thanks for your support

Thank You For Your Support-Another Free Knitting Pattern



I want to thank everyone for your awesome support of our calendar and for your patience in getting through some rough spots with PayLoadz :(





You are always such fun to communicate with and although I love to be on email talking back and forth I have been sssssooooo busy printing, binding and shipping out calendars I just haven't had the time to chat more.





I wanted to share with you a pattern from last years calendar. This is one I designed so it is safe to throw out here. I always want something in the December month to celebrate Christmas, it doesn't have to be religious but something to address the season. Last year I was really into the "365 Stitches A Day Perpetual Calendar". There are some great stitches in that small book and I wanted to use the Alternating Lace stitch to make a cloth and then I decided to use the little blocks that the Alternating Lace Stitch makes and build a tree. That is where the idea came from.

Notes: when doing a sequence of stitches, pay close attention to the ending instruction, etc: YO (K3, YO SL 1-K2Tog-PSSO, YO)X4, You would complete the instructions in ( ) 4 times, making the ‘YO’ the last move done. If it is followed by K11, then you
would do the last YO and K11. If you don’t do the last YO, your stitch count will be off on the end of the row.

Final Update and Ordering Information

WOOHOO.................Wellllll...We had a few back office issues but I believe we are all set to go now. The new Dishcloth Hangups for 2009 is ready to go.


Here are the instructions and information very very important for a smooth transaction.



First our 5 For 5 Winners: We are picking out 5 lucky people who will receive 5 skeins of yarn in our "Kick Off" today. If your name is in this list you have three days to contact me off line with your mailing address and Flo from Peaches N Creme will send these beautiful skeins of yarn to you. The colors are: 45 Orange, 62 Emerald, 2 Black, 25 Br Yellow and 1455 Desert Gold. These are beautiful fall colors. The winners are..........................................



Knitwit911 (Meredith); Joyesummers; Janet Badjer; Mary (K2842); Brookspatti (Patti B). Congratulations ladies and you have 3 days to notify me of your address and the yarn is yours!!!!!!! The Free Pattern is listed below the instructions. Thanks to Steph for testing the Lacy Vines pattern.



All of those that purchase a calendar can join the Calendar Yahoo group where all the patterns are in case you misplace your copy or you want to get 1 pattern at a time to work on. If you are interested in becoming a part of that group, all you need to do is send me an email with the subject of: "Invite Me to Yahoo Group", I will verify that you paid for the calendar and send you an invite.

Any corrections to the patterns will be listed here and on the Yahoo group. We try hard not to make errors but sometimes they pop up anyway. You can also contact the designer.

Downloadable Version: If you want a downloadable version of the calendar, click this link to add a copy to your PayPal cart:


Then follow the instructions for paying for your copy and you will be emailed instructions to download a pdf version of the calender. I will be available if you need help but I advise you to download then, if you wait a week or so, I will probably have to approve it because of the time elapsed. The cost is $18. Make sure the "Quan" is 1; that your grand total at the final check out is $18 and you will have your copy.



Printed Version: If you want a printed copy, you need to go to PayPal and select "send money" to jnogle@cox.net and it is $25 for the 1st copy and $21 for any additional copies if all copies are being shipped to the same address. I will need 3-7 working days to process.
