    Hi, I have purchased Good Shawl Cardigan pattern, but as I crochet from different yarn, I would really need the measurements, especialy when it goes to the armholes, because it is not unclear how big should the peace be when I am starting them. I think it would be ok, if you just measure the current cardigan and send me. Because now I have purchased the pattern which can be easily read from the kids pattern for free, it is useless. Many thanks Zuzana

    I've gotten 3 orders for this gorgeous and stylish design of yours. Your pattern states that Lionbrand Mandela is good for the striped version but says nothing about the solid version. My customers want dark charcoal gray. Is I LOVE THIS YARN by Hobby Lobby ok to use!? Thx and God bless! Your designs are gorgeous!

      Hi Donna! You could use any 3/dk/sport weight yarn. If you like I Love This Yarn, they do have a sport weight selection. Hope this helps!

    Hey Ashlea, I posted a pic of my completed Cold Shoulder Cover Up on Facebook and i can safely say you can expect a "boom" in sales of your pattern! Well over a 1000 likes and hundreds of comments and asking for the pattern! Im blown away by the response, lol. Thank you for a well written pattern that was so easy to follow!!

    I paid 4.00 for the eggcelent apron pattern on 12/25. I have not received either the pattern or a refund. I have emailed you several times with no response. I originally thought I was purchasing a finished product but after rereading your website I found I was purchasing a pattern. Since I do not crochet I would like a refund. Whether you received my emails or not, I should have received the pattern by now. Since I have not received the pattern and I paid you on 12/25 please refund me the 4.00 I paid for the pattern. Thank you.

      Hello, I did a search in my email history for your email address and I do not have any in my history so I'm not sure your emails came through? I also do not have any conversations on Etsy under your name. When purchased, the file is automatically sent to your Etsy account by Etsy. I see that the pattern has been delivered, but not downloaded on your end.

    Hi. I posted a question with my other email and not sure if you got it. I just started a C2C afgan and I'm ready to change colors. I know how to change colors but with this pattern it looks like there may be a different way. Can you please instruct me. Thanks.

    Are we allowed to sell things made with your patterns? So far I've only made personal things or presents. Thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

      Hi, the strap instructions are further down on the pattern. You'll chain 75, then start single crocheting across the top of the apron, then chain 76 and work your way back. Then you'll reinforce it by folding it over. I can help via email as well!

    I bought the pattern for the egg apron. Everything is going smoothly but I'm confused how to use the strap on the apron? Does it tie somehow.? Thanks, Kim Kennedy aka beadyeyedbrat

    Loved the pattern. Its all done except for the construction. Question when you attach first egg row, is the apron on the right or wrong side. do you have a video for construction? that would really make the project a little easier.

      Hi Patti, I don't have a video of it, but I laid the bottom pocket down so that the seam is on the inside of the pocket, then flip it up to make the dividers. Hope that helps!

    If anyone ever tells you that "Old dogs can't learn new tricks", just tell they your fan Adelle has learned many from your blog!! Every time I get email from you I learn something new and very useful. I'm crocheting an ear warmer for a co-worker and because of you and your excellent teaching my rows are even and the edges are perfect. I've crocheted for 55 out of 61 years of my life and have learned more here then any other time before. And to think, I thought I was stuck as the "Queen of the Granny square" . Thank you for all you've given me. Please keep up your brilliant work. Your sister crocheted and friend.....Adelle

    Hi Ashlea, Just came across your site via Pinterest. What a great designer you are! I love the bookmarks and plan on making them and donating to my local library and school. Hopefully, it will get more kids reading. That being said, I love the Joker beanie. I have a Batman follower in my house. Will you be making the Batman Beanie soon? Thank you!

    I have been making the bunny, duck and nerdy worm bookmarks and I was just wondering if you plan to make a weenie dog one? I would love to make one for my daughter and her teacher.

    I noticed the age range that you posted for your website. I'm a lot older than 54, but I'm still here. Not only do I love crochet, but I work with congenital heart, transcribing office visit reports..

    Ashlea, I have to say I love this blog! I just discovered it this morning and I am so happy to have found it! I crochet and I am a CHD patient myself! Thank you for raising awareness about this life-altering defect. I will be praying (if you don't mind) for you and your family, especially my new fellow heart warrior, Caden!

    i just read your post about buying your gas grill! fabulous savings and starting on clearance is the best. do you ever do personal coaching? i live not too far away-and am new to a smart phone, and not very tech savvy. i'm so afraid i'm going to get into something scammy. currently i'm at mayo clinic in MN, my husband has a congenital heart defect, and we are here for a procedure that has not gone exactly as planned. i know you can understand that sort of stress. thanks for your savings posts-they are very inspiring!

    Help! I have been wrestling with the Dragon Tears fingerless gloves pattern all afternoon and I can't work out what I am doing wrong. Problem starts at the end of row 2 - when I join after the 12th v-st into the top of the 1st v-st there is a little tag of 2 chain left from row 1. I have tried slip stitching down the first leg of the 1st v-stitch to join in this chain so then working row three from the row 1 end. Whether I work down from row 2 (leaving the 2 chain tag) or up from row 1 the scales are just curled up, not lying flat at all. I am sure it is something obvious that I am just not seeing. Can you help, please?

      Think the little break to write my question has cleared my head - 6 scales not 12! - now they lie flat. Still got a little 2 chain tag though. I'll sort it out at the end.

    I absolutely loved your site. I was able to get some great deals and used the coupon.com link on your page to get all printables I needed, even if the deal came from somewhere else. Unfortunately, since the change and Paul taking over I have not been able to find ANY deals on your site. I go to dealdetectingdiva.com, if I am lucky and get to the correct site deals are not shown only the available coupons and articles. No match-ups, no unadvertised deals, can not find ANYTHING. Most of the time it does not even take me to the correct site, usually brings me to hearthookhome. I am really disappointed and having been over-paying a lot lately. I will use krazycouponlady.com from now on. She generally did not have all the deals you were finding previously, but some are better than none at this point!

      Hey Tiffany! I'm sorry for the miscommunication. Paul has all of the same coupon deals we have always had, but he has his very own website now. :) here's the post, and how to find his blog: http://hearthookhome.com/new-penny-pinchin-paul-website-coupon-deals/
