Join me today to find out about my submission in the e-magazine, grab a discount code and (best of all) be in with a chance to win a free copy ♥

This week has been such a busy one with the release of two new love and friendship patterns.  So busy, in fact, that I’ve hardly had time to tell you about my submission to the Too Yarn Cute e-Magazine.

The theme of the magazine this time is Quick and Easy Patterns and Back2School.  I hope that my submission fills both those categories :)

Let me introduce the Crochet Cupcake Apple Cozy (or Cosy depending on your choice of spelling). Who said cupcakes aren’t healthy, eh!?!  ;)

These are perfect for protecting fruit in a school lunch box and great for taking a snack to work but they are also just a lot of fun to brighten up the fruit bowl in the house – they are guaranteed to raise a smile.  If you’re thinking in advance, they even make great stocking fillers, back to school gifts, craft fayre table fillers or PTA fundraisers.

This issue of the magazine contains over 20 patterns, articles and featured designers – all this for less than the price of some individual patterns!!

Better still, if you use the code 08tcd10 to get an additional 10% off any purchase at http://tooyarncute.contentshelf.com/shop – you might even like to check out the special subscription offer while you’re there :)

BUT, if that’s not enough to tempt you, how would you like to win a copy of the magazine?

To enter, all you have to do is complete the email address section in the form below and choose a whole number between 1 and 250.  It’s as easy as that :)

Mobile entrants may find this link more accessible.

Entry will close at 8pm (GMT) on Monday 11th August 2014 and the entrant with the lowest unique number chosen will win.  If no such entrant exists, a random draw will be made using all entrants.

The prize is administered by (and delivered by) Too Yarn Cute eMagazine.

This promotion is, in no way, sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook.

BE LUCKY ♥

I have two new patterns to share with you today – both with a theme of love and friendship ♥

The first is a Welsh Lovespoon (or love spoon).

The Welsh Lovespoon is traditionally a wooden spoon, decoratively carved, as a gift of romantic intent.  Today, they are given for wedding and anniversary presents, to celebrate the arrival of a new baby or simply as a symbol of friendship and caring.

The earliest know Welsh Lovespoon dates back to 1667 and can be found at St Fagan’s National History Museum, near Cardiff (just down the road from where I live).

The style I have chosen to recreate, according to tradition, symbolises two people coming together forever, in everlasting love and friendship – this is shown by the twisted stem and Celtic knot-work.

Other symbols that were carved into the wood include the lock for security and binding, the horseshoe for luck, the cross for faith and small cages filled with wooden balls to represent a number of children.  You can read more about these beautiful symbols of love and friendship here.

The second is a Friendship Necklace

I’m sure many of you will remember making knotted bracelets and necklaces from embroidery floss.  It was this type of necklace that I originally wanted to create – something that could be tied on and worn as a constant reminder of friendship.

I started out with embroidery cotton and one simple size in mind.  But, the pattern proved to be so much fun to make, I added a full range of suggested sizes.

The friendship necklace is a perfect ‘small’ gift for a friend.  It is quick and easy to make and you’ll never run out of colour choices with the wide range of embroidery thread available.

This one also has some hidden meaning – the single leaf at each end symbolises happiness – when tied, they are together, though apart!

I do hope you like them both <3

As a thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me, both my love and friendship patterns are listed at an introductory price of £1 (until midnight tomorrow) ♥  Also, for a limited time, you can also try to win a copy over on Facebook – Good luck x

It’s all myth and magic over here at Thomasina Cummings Designs today.  Fortunately, the chance to win some free copies of the soon-to-be-released pattern, by Silverdragon Crafts and Critters, is anything but a fantasy ;)

When I asked for collaborators in the Crochet Stitch Giveaway Game just four weeks ago, I could never have anticipated the imaginative designs that would come out of such a simple stitch, in such a short amount of time.

Yesterday, I told you about Sweet Tee from Crystalized Designs and my own Summer Combo. Today, I bring you news of the third and final pattern of the game and, oh boy, will you be excited!

Samantha has designed the most exquisite stone angel lovey/security blanket and matching amigurumi angel doll.  Get a load of those wings!!!

Her choice of colours is just perfect for the stone effect and the stitch is used so wonderfully to give texture exactly where it is needed – the hair is the ultimate crowning glory!

So, if you’ve been following progress this month, and wishing you’d uploaded a stitch so you could get a copy of all the wonderful patterns, fear not.  Samantha is offering 5 lucky winners the chance to own this gorgeous pattern collection before the official release on the 25th July.  Head on over to Silverdragon Crafts and Critters to enter now.

Phew, what a crazy month this has been!  Two giveaways, tests galore and, in my personal life, the school holidays kicking off with the local carnival :)

But, we’re not done yet…

It’s the final day of testing for my Summer Combo today.  (In case you missed the post about it, this is the pattern I have designed for the Crochet Stitch Challenge Game that Crystalized Designs, Silverdragon Crafts & Critters and myself are playing).

Here’s the dress version (PS it can also be made into a top or a skirt – 3 patterns in one – hence the combo bit) ;)

All things going to plan, the release will take place on Friday 25th July.

Thirteen people uploaded stitches for voting and their copies will be heading out to them as soon as the patterns are released :)

With the release of our Crochet Stitch Challenge Game patterns rapidly approaching, I’m super excited to be able to bring you news of more chances to win copies of each of the patterns the Samantha, Crystal and I designed using the winning stitch.

Crystalized Designs has absolutely wowed us all here with the Sweet Tee pattern she designed.

I have fallen in love with the shape and style.  It’s the perfect combination of smart and casual that you could wear anywhere.

It’s awesome for over a vest top in summer as Crystal is wearing it but, I think it would look equally at home layered over a sweatshirt as the weather turns cooler, don’t you?!

It comes in sizes Adult XS through 3X and is due for release on 25th July 2014.  I can’t wait to grab a copy.

If you didn’t get chance to win a copy by uploading a stitch, all is not lost – you can head on over to Crystal’s Facebook Page for another five chances to win :)

Stay tuned, or better still, subscribe top right ;),  to make sure you don’t miss out on news of how to get extra copies of the other two patterns!!!
