We are heartbroken. Yesterday, Radar’s condition

We are heartbroken. Yesterday, Radar’s condition took a turn for the worst. We initially thought he was improving, but then further scans showed that the obstruction had perforated his bowel. He won’t be coming home.

And if this isn’t bad enough, the vet confirmed that the obstruction was caused by a piece of yarn. Unbeknown to us, Radar has eaten some. We knew that he like to play with it, but had no idea he would actually swallow some. PLEASE, please, please don’t let your cats play with your yarn. The cute stereotype photos of cats playing with balls of yarn should come with a warning. Don’t learn this lesson the hard way like we did. It was a random thing that we never thought he would do, and now he’s gone.

I cannot put into words how moved we are by your kind words and support. I can honestly say that every single message brought tears, but felt like a big hug. Please don’t be offended if I don’t reply to them all. I am having difficulty being here on IG at all at the moment. I will leave the sale running as my gift back to you. You have helped to contribute towards covering the vet expenses. Thank you all so very much. I wish I had a better outcome to report.
Much love and thanks,
D

Hi Makers, This is not my usual kind of post, but

Hi Makers,

This is not my usual kind of post, but I am hoping that you might be able to help me out.

Our beautiful boy, Radar, spent last night in the vet hospital with a suspected bowel obstruction. X-rays, pain meds, IV and the overnight stay have already cost us $1100 and he’s not out of the woods yet. We are hoping for a non-surgical solution, but won’t know for sure for a while yet. He is Piper’s cat and means the world to her to say the least. If he needs surgery (read: $2-3K), I don’t know if we can say no....

I am hoping to raise some funds to cover the cost of the vet bills. I would never ask for something without offering something in return. And as the only thing I can really offer is a massive discount on all of my designs, that’s what I’m going to do. That way we help each other.

The only thing I am asking of you, please, is to spread the word to all your crochet friends. Tell them I am offering 50% off all Addydae Designs till at least July 10 with the code RADAR.

I have currently set up the discount in my Ravelry Store. If you would prefer to purchase via my Etsy store, let me know and I’ll see what I can organise as I’ve never set up a discount code there before.

Thank you all in advance. I would not have even considered posting about this here if I didn’t already believe that this community cares for its members. Please don’t feel obligated to purchase as I know times are really tough for so many at the moment. I would just so much appreciate it if you simply shared my post to get the word out.

Again, thank you so much. I’ll keep you posted on Radar’s condition.

I am super chuffed right now: I have the privilege of being featured in, not one, but two publications this month! And alongside some amazingly talented makers, too!

My Blurred Lines sweater was featured in @yarnologiemag Issue 8 alongside @debkknits . .

And @insidecrochet magazine Issue 126 includes a spread on crochet podcasters. I was so happy to be listed along with so many of my faves and learn about some new-to-me crochet podcasters as well. It takes a long time for Inside Crochet to be available here in Australia so I decided to buy a digital copy cos I couldn’t wait! It’s a gorgeous issue, do you have your copy yet?

You guys! How amazing are my new shawl cuffs from @knoxmountainknitco ?!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ As soon as I opened the packages I grabbed all of my shawls to see which one suited each. These are not only gorgeous, but they avoid the damage that a shawl pin might make. Winning!

Up till now, hats gave been my go-to accessory for this winter ( #2020yearofthehat ) but I think these will have me switching back to shawls! 🤓D

Sorry I’ve been so quiet here lately. I’ve been focusing on lots of offline things over the past few weeks.
In addition to the usual goings-on, I’ve been busy helping the girls get through their end-of-semester exams and assessments, doing a little pattern writing, catching up on a bunch of appointments now that restrictions have eased a little here 👁 👓💇🏼‍♀️💇🏻‍♀️💇🏽‍♀️ and being distracted by my new obsession: sourdough baking (have a look at my highlights if you want to see my progress so far.) Truth is, I’ve barely touched a hook in the last 3 weeks and it’s really affected my crochet mojo.
Don’t worry, I’m getting it back. I find that the best projects for when I feel this way are small, quick reward projects. So, right now I have a pair of socks on the go and I’ve been busy making baby hats! I have one friend who has just had her new baby and another 2 friends with bubbas on the way. And you don’t get many projects that are quicker off the hook and almost instantly satisfying than a tiny baby hat! I’ll be back into my bigger projects soon.

What do you do when your cro-jo up and leaves? .

I thought I’d swap out my go-to beanie accessory for a shawl today. I mean, it’s totally shawl weather now, so I should make the most of it, even if I am at home most of the time.
What’s your go-to accessory?

I just love this Segue Sock made by @neverjillian , don’t you?
It’s finally cold enough here for woollen socks and my crocheted ones have been in constant rotation. I think I need to make some more.

Same, same, but better!
New sample photos for an old design.
Some of you might recognize this one. I first published ‘Slinky’ back in 2016 as part of a set of accessories for children. It had always included sizes for adults, but as I was making so many things for my (then much younger) girls, adults weren’t my target market, and the old sample photo showed it.
Fast forward a few years and now that the girls are bigger, I find I am making more adult-suitable garments. And when Angela from @blackwattleyarn gave me a couple of skeins of BFL/Silk to try, Slinky got a makeover!
If you would like to make your own grown-up version of Slinky, Angela is about to list the May Yarn Club kits which include a copy of this pattern free! Head on over to @blackwattleyarn so that you don’t miss out.
Happy crocheting!

Speaking of distractions.... I had to put this aside a while ago because I ran out of the cream yarn that I’m using between coloured rows. Now that my @bendigowoollenmills order has arrived, this WIP is calling me too.

So many projects, so little time!

But I must focus: I almost have my new website ready to go live and I’d like to release a new design by the end of the week. So I’m gonna try and save this for evenings when I need to wind down. (Not making any promises, though! 😉😉) How’s your day going? Do you need to focus on work, or get to play? 🤓D

I’ve just wound these lovelies into cakes. I’m not sure if that was a good idea or not because I have other things on my to-do list that need to be completed first.

How long do you think I’ll be able to resist the temptation? 🤔

You don’t have to be participating in The Dippe CAL to join, but you will need to become a member of the group. The Meeting ID and password for the chat can be found in the group announcements. I have provided a link in my bio for you.
Hope to see you there!

I’m feeling very honoured that Kim from @knotsewcute is hooking up a Blurred Lines sweater. This colourway is amazing, I can’t wait to see the next colour added to the fade.
I’m also loving that matchy matchy hook! 😉

I think this may be the prettiest thing I’ve ever made. I’m loving it so much that I don’t want to work on anything else.
How about you? Working on anything you just can’t put down?

Thank you all so much for the #dippeshawl love!
I’ve really enjoyed seeing your colour combinations come together for this design and even though it’s barely been a week since the pattern launched, there are some finished Dippe shawls already!! (@keilexandra 😘😘) I thought it would be fun if we could all get together while we work on this design by way of an informal crochet-along. And after seeing the amazing progress by the members of the Addydae Makers Meetup group on Facebook, I thought that would be the ideal place to host the CAL. If you aren’t already a member, click on the link in my bio. It’s an amazing space for advice and support where everyone can share their progress and pictures. (It’s a private group, so you’ll just need to answer a couple of questions and then I can approve you as a member.) I’ll have all the details for the CAL in the group so head on over, I’d love to see you there!
In the meantime, here are some #dippetrio combos that I came up with from my stash. They’re from some of my favourite Aussie dyers. Enjoy the #yarncandy 😍😍😍 #addydaedesigns #dippeshawl #inspiredcrochetdesign #contemporarycrochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetersofig #handdyedyarn #aussiedyer #crochetshawl #crochetshawlpattern #addictedtocrochet #crocheteveryday #crochetastherapy #yarnporn #slowmaking #dowhatyoulove #maker #makersgonnamake #handmade #furlsodysseyhooks #crochet #lovecrochet #lovecrocheting #cal #dippecal #addydaedippecal

‘Dippe’ is now available!
The perfect combination of mindful and mindless. Simple stitches and shaping allow you to relax, while colour changes and lace keep you motivated. And who doesn’t love an opportunity to add a dramatic pop of colour?

Sample pictured used @theaustralianwoolstore 100% Superwash Merino 4ply (400m/100g) in the colours Old Grey Speckle, Rockabilly Floozie & Miss Martha’s Mustard. (Tip: For the best result, when choosing colours, be sure that there is enough contrast, otherwise your stripes will be lost and lose their impact.)
If you are on my email list, check your inbox for a special subscriber discount code. If not, don’t worry, I have something for you, too: Use the code DIPPE20 for 20% off till April 17, 2020 (in my @hi.Ravelry store only)
Happy crocheting!
