This is what happens when I get bored…


So, the constant droning of hammers and saws on my roof finally got to me. In the middle of cleaning house and making dinner, I got bored. And when I get bored, I make things. I usually make tedious things.

Today, I made a font that I can use to create patterns out of crochet symbols. You can use it too, because I believe that (said in a Tommy Chong voice) creativity should be free, man! Click the link and save it to your fonts directory.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WEBSITE, FILE, AND THE COMPUTER HAVE ALL BEEN DESTROYED. IF ANYONE WHO DOWNLOADED THE FONT STILL HAS IT ON THEIR MACHINE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY OF THE FILE

Now, as if that weren’t enough, I also made a Paintshop Pro XI tube. You can click on this thumb, go to the large gif, then save it to your computer. Open it up in Paintshop, click EXPORT and then TUBE. It’s 4 across and 10 down. Go forth and be creative, babies.

Oh, and I did finally find the best textured stitch for my scarf. I’ll write more about that tomorrow, as well as the bracelet I intend to make to match it.

Love and stitches,

Trish

    I was wondering if you still have that crochet font? The link doesn’t seem to contain it.

  2. I’m so sorry. My computer suffered from a wretched virus and was destroyed. I’ve since moved the website and don’t have a copy of the font file. I’m trying to find someone who downloaded it who can give me a copy and when I do, I’ll send it along to you.

  3. Thanks for the post, I have been having the same problems.

  4. Has anyone provided you with the crochet fonts you created. I’ve only been able to find one other website that claims to have crochet fonts; unfortunately, their website is temporarily off-line so technically, there are none available. I can’t believe these fonts/symbols are so hard to find.

    Would appreciate it if you could send me a copy of the fonts when you finally get them.

    TIA
