2nd Anniversary to me – and Giveaway for You!!
| February 26, 2010 | Filled under Giveaway |
I can’t believe it’s been two years ago today
that I started my patterns venture. It seems
so cliché to say “where does time go”, but I
have enjoyed doing this so much that it does
not look like 2 years, but only a few months.
I would love to take this opportunity to Thank
You all for your Wonderful support and such
Sweet comments, I do appreciate them more
than You could imagine! THANK YOU!!!
IN THE NEWS This year seems to be so busy and on my schedule so far:
– double number of patterns (5 are already done);
– start a newborn/baby line (almost done the fist designs and I must to
admit that I completely hooked! Thanks to So special opportunity and
customer requests);
– do my Best to promote my business and open several on-line stores
for selling the patterns (a 1st store in 2010 was set up yesterday)
– some more SUPER EXCITING news, but please allow me to keep you
in suspense for awhile ;o)
GRAND OPENNING I’ve finally opened my Artfire shop, where listed all
my patterns available so far. More come soon!

offer something to You and have an ideas.. so, let’s go ;)

Happy Anniversary for your Blog.
I hope that as you go into the patterns that all goes well with this venture.
You are talented in that the patterns are so wonderful.
I am a knitter and I can just imagine the time that goes into all of this.
Congratulations on your anniversary. May there be many more in the years to come. I enjoy seeing and making your patterns.
Best of luck to you! You have done such an excellent job not only in designing but also presenting your work! Your models are so very cute! Please keep the patterns coming! I hope you will be blessed with many more ideas and inspirations! Congratulations! I will guess that you are added some cute animal motifs to your line!
Your work is amazing, I love this site.
I think all your little girl patterns are darling. I’m fairly new at crochet and some of them even look like something I could do. I hope you are planning on something like a girls crocheted boatneck summer sweater in the near future. I also like the new website. It makes finding all your patterns a piece of cake! I hope you have the best in continued success.

Happy aniversary! You did fantastic work! I love ALL OF YOUR DESIGNS! Let me guess about new design and after little advice: maybe this is gonna be floral fiesta top?
ALLA, wish you much much more such years in writing patterns and a lot of success in your business. I’ve watched your designs and thinking that you are currently working over spring flowers pattern cause spring is so close :)
Congrats on 2 wonderful years! I get so excited to check what you’re working on next!
Hi!! :)
Alla, congratulations! And I hope you will bring us the joy of your designs for many more years! I am particularly excited about baby line – just in time for me (btw, does it has something to do with the big news we are all waiting to hear?!) :)
Love, Irina
Congrats!! I love your patterns. I plan to purchase some today. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see your baby line. Also, I would LOVE to see a boys vest pattern. If anyone can make one, you can. I can’t seem to find one anywhere. My guess for the new 2010 pattern is a tulip top.
Congrats ALLA and keep in writing to make us pleasure!!! I’ve got several of your patterns and must say I’m very satisetfied with them! Let me guess for a 2010 project: a poppy top.
I just wanted to say congrats on 2 years and thank you for all the beautiful patterns I have made several for my daughter and they are easy to follow and always look great!

Congrats!!!
Congrats Alla on your expansion and 2 year anniversary. I have been a faithful fan of yours and look forward to seeing and creating whatever designs you release. I know you are a busy woman but I wonder if you plan to expand your hat line. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and am going through chemo and would love to work up some hats that only your imagination can create.
Love your patterns!! So creative!!
hope one day i win :(
oh! congratulation from UAE
I found your site through your Garden Party hat pattern on Ravelry and I love everything you’ve designed! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope to be able to complete a few other projects as well.
