Introducing George T Dawg.....one sweet pup!

The latest member of my menagerie has made his debut at the Knit & Stitch boutique in Cocoa Village, Florida and on Ravelry at my pattern shop http://www.ravelry.com/stores/kraziknitz-by-paula.

George is a well mannered dog, who will steal your heart, but not your slippers.  He loves to be cuddled and loved.  You can make him for yourself or someone that you love. I have included a few pictures from our photo shoot.  There are more pictures on his Ravelry pattern page, if you would like to see more.  Please welcome George into your heart and home.  If you do, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Pattern update

The photo shoot is done, the pattern is written, but now it needs to be proofread.  George T. Dawg will make his first appearance here in a day or so.  I will also have a free pattern or two to post as well.  Pictures and patterns coming soon. Stay tuned here & in my group on Ravelry which is KraziKnitz by Paula.  Interested group members will be given a single use coupon code toward the purchase of George, as a way of showing my appreciation for their support.

Just an update....new patterns & Rosie's travel...

I currently have several patterns in development and will be releasing them soon.  Some will be free patterns..so keep your eyes here or in my Ravelry group for news of when they will be published.  I may decide to offer group members a special discount to any new patterns that I will be adding to my store, but I'll let members know at a later date.

Rosie has left Florida to go live in her new home in the Midwest.  She will now live in a place that has more seasons, than Florida Winter (about 3 months when temperatures are below 80) and Florida Summer (about 9  months when temperatures are above 80).  She was excited about going, and starting a new adventure.  I'll post here if I hear from her.

Have a lovely and safe July 4th.

Retirement Sale #3 and Rosie's been adopted.

I'm having another sale in my Ravelry store from 6/21/2016-6/30/2016.  If you buy 2 patterns , get 1 free.  No coupon code needed.  All patterns are eligible. 

Now on to other news, a nice lady on Ravelry applied to adopt my little retired shop owl, Rosie.  Rosie is excited about this new phase of her life.  She has started packing and will be leaving soon for her new home.  Good luck Rosie.

It's almost time.....

This evening we will open up a thread in my Ravelry group,  KraziKnitz by Paula for applications to be Rosie's new hosts.  Applicants should put in 25 words or less, why they would be the perfect host for this retired shop owl.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new thread in the group listed above, this evening around 9:00 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time) for those in the US, but the thread will stay open for 18 -24 hours, depending upon the number of applications presented.

Rosie is not getting any younger, and this is going to be more reading than she would normally undertake.  It may take her a couple of days to get through the responses depending on how many people write to her, but we will read each and every one.  She is looking forward to this new chapter of her life.

Here's how to apply.......

Tomorrow evening we will open up a thread in my Ravelry group,  KraziKnitz by Paula for applications to adopt Rosie.  Applicants should put in 25 words or less, why they would be the perfect host for this retired shop owl.  Perhaps you live in a lovely cottage by a wood, have a mountain view that she would enjoy or know a debonair owl-about-town who would enjoy the company of a lovely lady owl.  Whatever enticement or qualifications you present, do so with as much style as you can manage in 25 words or less.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new thread in the group listed above, tomorrow 06/19/2016 between 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time) for those in the US, but the thread will stay open for 18 -24 hours, depending upon the number of applications presented.

Rosie is not getting any younger, and this is going to be more reading than she would normally undertake.  It may take her a couple of days to get through the responses depending on how many people would like to make her acquaintance.  She is looking forward to choosing her new home and hosts.

Introducing Rosie

This is Rosie, one of the shop models for my pattern Owlizabeth.  She was always one of the quieter ones and a bit shy.  She has tired of the hustle and bustle of shop life, and desires to retire somewhere a bit less busy.  Her hobbies are simple.  She likes to read, watch television, and relax when she's not on duty.  She's had enough of life by the beach and would like to try something new.

I offered her assistance by offering to field adoption requests, since my typing skills are a bit better than hers.  She has given me permission to post a thread in my Ravelry group, but for a limited time.
I will open a thread so that prospective adopters can tell her "why they would be the perfect host for her retirement years" in 20 words or less.  She and I, along with some of her other friends will narrow down the field, before she makes her final decision. 

As stated before, the receiving adopter will need to live in the US, due to postage expenses being so high on international shipping.  However, if a likely person from outside the US is chosen, we will gift them a pattern.  In this way, they may create a lovely owl of their own.  She knows it's not the same, but like most retirees she is on a fixed income and travel expenses are not in her budget.  She wanted me to apologize for the inconvenience, but she is sure any owl created in her likeness would be just as lovely and sweet as she is.

So without further ado, may I introduce Rosie.  Keep watching here and on my Ravelry group, as we will be posting the date shortly for the thread with beginning and ending times.  My Ravelry group name is easy to remember KraziKnitz by Paula.  We'll see you soon.
