Crochet Patterns on the Apple iBookstore

A few of my patterns were available in the Apple iBookstore for free. You can  download a sample and last week the sample was the complete pattern. So the pattern was available for free! I was not happy with this.

This occured with patterns distributed through Smashwords.

I removed all Smashwords patterns from the Apple iBookstore. The new patterns published since July 2012 are still available. These patterns I uploaded myself on the Apple iBookstore. In April I will publish all older patterns again on the Apple iBookstore.

Little Duckies

This is my latest pattern for Eastern: Little Duckies.

These duckies are cute and easy to make. They only use a little bit of yarn. It took me less than two hours to make one ducky. The size of the duckies depends on the size of the crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them. A bigger hook and thicker yarn makes a bigger doll. A doll stuffed tightly is bigger than a loosely stuffed doll.

For the big ducky I used DK (crocheted 2 strands together) and a 5 mm hook. For the medium sized duckies I used DK (crocheted one strand) and a 4mm hook. For the smallest duckies I used fine cotton (sport, baby) and a 3 mm hook.

 The pattern can be purchased on:

Looking for Translators

I'm looking for translators for my crochet patterns: French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Swedish, Danish, Japanese, Chinese, any language. I'd like to start with more French translations.

If you are a native speaker, like patterns and have an eye for detail: please contact me on kandjdolls @ gmail.com.

The translations will be done for a large part by a computer program. This program has to be taught first how to translate US abbreviations into another language. For this a table exists with on the right common US crochet terms and on the left the translation.

Once the computer program has finished it's far from perfect: your job would be to translate the title and any text the translator could not do. Usually the descriptions on how to do the hair would be translated by you.

Sometimes I would ask you to make the doll to see if the final translation is 100% correct.

If you are interested then get in touch with me: kandjdolls @ gmail.com
