Yeah, definitely! Some patterns that use basic shapes I think are okay, as there are only so many different variations you can do, but when it’s obvious it’s a direct copy of someone else’s work… so frustrating!😒
The colours in the giant turtle were beautiful,and it turned out so well. And oh my goodness... I cannot believe the entry fee that you mentioned! I wonder how many handmade businesses would even break even with that cost 😮
Huge amounts of money to join in on big festivals and omg I"m not surprised with the easter one. I had the opportunity to apply for a medieval fair up my way but it's a 3 day event (that you could even camp at) but I have a form of arthritis and I get chronic fatigue really bad and I just wouldn't last the 3 whole days and don't have any suitable friends or family to help me out on it. I'd love to do a comicon or something similar and it would be worth just being able to join in all the fun each day. Your turtle turned out great. I totally agree with all your rants especially the taking a percentage of sales, that's just bloody rude taking peoples profit. I'm trying to be careful about the patterns I buy because I got scammed for a cow pattern that was just simple copied in bits from lots of other patterns and then she didn't really even know how to do the bloody ears properly (it's the only pattern I wanted my money back for)
Yeah, I kinda get the massive show costing like 10 or 20k, but definitely not them taking a percentage also! Thanks so much!💛 Yeah, some stuff I guess people don’t realise it’s a copy, but when it is clear there was an original, even like the Mushroom pattern by chunky.crochet, you can tell so many people have used that basic pattern that was her original idea😒
Was not expecting to hear that you are local to me! That was a surprise 😂 It is a beautiful beach. I love the turtle! Looks amazing. If you ever want some suggestions on velvet yarn that is local and very good I'd be happy to share :)
Don't undercharge for your work! Remember the time, expense of materials you put into them. It really adds up. Looking forward to seeing you guys in June!
Congrats on a big order! I’m a Coastie so not far from you :) I couldn't agree more about the patterns... The Leggy Frog is a great example.. It’s not right!
What is your biggest crochet order you have received? Let me know below!
OMGG I LOVE THE TURTLE SMM
Thank you so much!💛
Sewing ends in on a charity blanket while watching. Loved your Turtle, it turned out great. Your new hair colour suits you .
Aww that’s such a nice idea! Thank you so much!💛
I haven't even got past the five second mark yet and I'm already amazed. I'm a Magen, too! Never met another one!
Ooh yess! Hahah I love meeting people with the same name as me! Although mine is spelt Maighan and I haven’t met many spelt the same hahah
Love your hair! Really suits you. Spotlight trip ending with gyg is literally my idea of a perfect day 😂
Thanks so much! Hahah theee best🙌🙌🤣🤣
Totally agree with on the pattern. There are so very similar patterns out there it is so hard to tell who is the original creator and support them!
