I'm not a professional designer - I have a fulltime job that's completely unrelated to knitting or yarn. Knitting is a hobby and I love figuring out how to knit or crochet stuff - especially when it's a bit complicated. For me that's 90% of the fun. Occasionally, I write down some of it (even though that IS hard work for me) - and these are the patterns that you can find here on my blog.
