Happy New Year! I've been MIA for the last few weeks, but trust me, I've been working on a lot of new patterns and other changes that are coming to CNC in the new year.

One of them is way overdue, which is to put my patterns into symbol charts. I finally bought a crochet font and fiddled around with it a bit.... I think I'll be able to get the hang of it!! Also, I bought a Craftsy course on how to read symbol crochet patterns, so hopefully I'll be able to do it right and not cause any unnecessary confusion once I start doing charts.

Another course that I'm working on is a pattern grading course by Kim Guzman. The course is available on Crochetville, and it is not only for designers, but for anyone who wants to learn how to increase or decrease pattern sizes for a more custom fit. So that means I'll be doing more crocheted tops in the coming year. (Hopefully)

A not-so-positive change that is taken place is that my PDF's will no longer be available for free. You'll be able to purchase them on Craftsy for a small fee. At the same time, my patterns will still remain FREE for the most part. You'll just have to use the green "Print Friendly" button that appears at the bottom of each pattern. Thank you so much for understanding.
