Garden Party Crocheted Hat. Pattern Update
| March 18, 2011 | Filled under Errata |
I know, I’ve got You confused with gauge to this hat. I gave it in diameter, which is not typical for hat gauge and looks as was accepted as radius, so some crocheters got a huge hats – I’m so sorry about that. Now is everything if fixed and the pattern is updated.
PLEASE MAKE SURE You have an updated version of Garden Party Crocheted Hat Pattern and your
pattern says that gauge is first 14 (10, 6) rounds = 4” (measures from center of hat to edge)
Thank you so much for your interest!!
The Winner

Dear Friends,
First of all, I would like to Thanks everyone for your kind of words and such sweet comments! I’m Truly happy that you like my designs and MUCH appreciate all your support and love! YOU ARE THE BEST!! But oh my, I must admit that I was in big trouble to pick up just one name from such gorgeous list of suggestions and I really love them all – so it’s explaining the delay with notifying the winner. I’m sorry about that! ;o)
So… our Winner is Theresa O. with comment:
How about “Double Fun in the Sun”?. Double for the double brim, Fun for the many ways you can wear the hat, and Sun because it’s more of a Spring/Summer hat?
My Congratulations, Theresa!! I’ll contact you shortly to see your preferences and shipping address.
Thank you so much again everyone from bottom of my heart!! YOU ALL ROCK!!
With lots of Love,
Alla

New Face
| March 5, 2011 | Filled under Announcements |
I’m so glad we’ve finally found a time to make the “plastic surgery” and some great upgrades to my site and I just wonder it took us only about 5 hours yesterday + I’ve spent several hours before to customize the new theme (see the look of old one below).
Well, if talking about progress, so far we’ve done:
- upgraded PHP 4 to 5; MySQL 4.1 to 5 and WordPress 2.2 to 3.1;
- new face & new header, designed by amazing and so talented Annya of AUA Design (if you are looking for graphic designer, I would heartily recommend Annya! She’s so talented and so amazing to deal with!!)
- new plugins, like FBLikeButoon, Facebook Share, TweetMeme, SexyBookmarks and some other … I never feel such social :0)
What I am missing so far:
- gallery;
free patterns download;fixedGoogle analytics;upgradedlife traffic feeds. added
Please be patience with these things – I’ll do my best to fix it as soon as possible (hopefully today)
Plus another thing to do: move it to better hardware to improve speed. moved
Anyways, I am feel happy with all these upgrades, even if here are still lots of work to polish the site …if you find anything broken or have some suggestions, please let me know. Any Your opinions is much much appreciated!! Thank you!
