Addydae Designs

How are you?

I know, it's been a minute. I hope you have been well. I have missed keeping in touch. That might sound empty considering how much time has passed since my last communication, but it's true.

And, I'm sorry.

I pretty much vanished without explanation. To leave you out of the loop was not my intention. The reason I did not let you know is because I had no idea this would happen. Had I any idea that it would take me over a year to get back here, I would have given you a heads up. But life took a bit of an unexpected turn and my energies needed to be directed elsewhere. This is life, right? The only constant thing is change. And when it does, we do our best. Unfortunately, my best over the last while has not been what I would like to have been able to do for you.

If you have been feeling abandoned without explanation, I understand.

If you have posted unanswered questions about patterns but stayed regardless, I thank you.

If you are still here after more than a year of silent treatment, I thank you.

I had hoped that I would have time to continue designing, but at the moment, it doesn't look like that will be the case. Addydae Designs is officially on hiatus. I have loved designing and being part of the community that came with it. Thank YOU for coming along on this ride with me! Crochet is still a happy place for me (when I get the chance!) and I am sure it will continue to be so. I still have quite the stash to work from so have plenty to keep me going for some time yet.

So, while it's goodbye for now, I truly hope it's not goodbye forever. As a parting gift, I have added three new patterns for download to my Ravelry Store.

Appropriately the design pictured is named Departures. Ironic, yes? Head on over to my Ravelry store to see Arrivals and Solwind.

Thanks again for your support, friendship and inspiration over the past 15 years.

As always, happy crocheting!

I do love a great fade set. Anyone want to save me from myself and buy these before I add them all to my cart? 🛍️🛍️

This was too cute and clever not to share. 💗💗💗

A succulent plant pot that turns into coasters! 🪴 Another design to add to the coaster series! What should I try to do next? 💕 I have the tutorial on YouTube and the written pattern on Etsy, links in my bio! 💚 Yarns DONNY, FRIDA and THAI SUBLIME by @tessiland ✨ . . . #crochet #handmade #crocheting #knitting #yarn #etsy #love #crochetaddict #crochetgirlgang #amigurumi #knittersofinstagram #craft #london #crochetlove #wool #makersgonnamake #instacrochet #knit #yarnaddict #beautiful #mothersday #gift #giftideas #howto #mug #mugcoaster

I need your help!​​​​​​​​
I can't decide on which color to use for the edging of this new shawl. The body as you see it is nearly complete and I will be adding a lacy edging. But I can't decide on whether to go with the bold bright red/pink or keep things soft with the un-dyed mohair.​​​​​​​​
Which do you think would look best? Tell me in the comments.​​​​​​​​

February 12 prompt: Sip & Stitch​​​​​​​​

This one was easy. A hot cuppa and crochet go together peanut butter and jam (jelly for my US friends)! ​​​​​​​​
Whatever your beverage of choice is, I hope you had a chance to sit and stitch for a little while today.​​​​​​​​
