Everyone likes the parties I throw, the gifts I make and my crochet items, but let's be honest here-- It is a lot more fun and rewarding to do it yourself! I decided to start to write down the parties plans, recipes, patterns and "how to's" and combine them into patterns that are fun to read and simple to follow. That way everyone can add their own flare and take a little satisfaction in the work they do. Out of Ink Patterns has 2 types of patterns: 1- just the pattern. These are usually for a crocheted item or something to make. 2- Craft Only as Directed patterns include many things to make or do in one pattern. These are usually for parties or for multiple items of the same kind.
