July Ravelry upload: Baby Deer Hat & Earflap Hat with Cat Ears

Good day for every knitters! :-)

Annual migration in my country just finished, and everything start back to normal.

Every year, when Eid Mubarak come, there will be e very long holiday. Everything essensial will closed, including offices and post/shipping. And almost everyone will traveling back to where their parents live. Including me.

For almost 2 weeks I barely touch my laptop. The first week, I preparing for my yarn's store closing, looking for tickets to our parents home, and then actually went home. Then when I finally can open my yarn store again, my assistants still couldn't back for another week for family matters. So me and my husbands had to deals with every online orders for a week.

Then, I am feeling guilty for absently posting new pattern in last June. So this month I posted 2 patterns. And as an apology for last month's absent, I decided to make one of the pattern, free only for today (12 to 13 July 2017).

And as usual, I give the patterns I uploaded this July, big discount (flat price $1.5) until end of the month, before they come back to their original prices.

Baby Deer Hat
free for today (12-13 July 2017)
flat price $1.5 from original $4 until end of July 2017
This deer hat is one of my baby animal hats series. Normally made with solid color, but it turn out good with variegated color too. ;)

Earflap Hat with Cat Ears
Flat price $1.5 from original $5 until end of July 2017
few years ago I ever make a cat hat, but now, after some more experiences I through these last years, I feel more satisfied with this hat. I accidentally find again how to make an earflap that make me happy without have to make inner for it. And I love how the ears sturdier.

Please consider to try them if you feel interested. I will be nothing without your support. And your support will always be my fuel to continue writing knitting patterns.. faster than my original pace :p.

Thanks for your supports until today. :D

Happy Knitting!!

Knitting with Ajeng: My Pattern released in 2016

Hi happy knitters,

I never realized that I'm not posting in this blog too long to my liking. I even not updating every time I upload new pattern on my Ravelry! #shock

So, I think it's fair if I wrap all my pattern releases at 2016 here in this one post. I surprised that I quite productive in 2016. I hope I can be more productive in this year too. #aameen

I think I should regularly posting in the blog at least once a month. I already making plan (since last year actually) for sharing some of my patterns for free, making review of knitting books, beside posting about my pattern releases. I also planning for release at least one pattern every month. Wish me can fulfill these plan smoothly without slacking. #mybadhabit

In the end of 2016, I also gather my gut and open a pattern shop at etsy too and now waiting for the first sale #fingercrossing.

And now I getting interested in Patreon. This platform really new to me. Do you know how to use it (or already have experiences) as creator?

Happy new year everyone! Sending every good hope for you all. :D
