Fair warning – all old Elmows will be pulled down on February 15. I will repackage them with a few new designs for sale on the GCD site and on Etsy, but the price will be going up, and you won’t be able to get most of them individually any more.

Going forward in March Elmows will be released as follows:

  • 4 weekly patterns and individual designs as always at 99 cents each.
  • The last Wednesday of the month I will post the entire monthly set, including one additional bonus design for $2.99.

They will be available for one month additional. So patterns posted in February will be available through March, and so on.

A month after they are pulled, the design packs (NOT the individual designs) will be available on Etsy and GoldenCircleDesigns.com for $5.99. The format will probably be PDF, although I may make these designs available to shops in printed format as well.

So we’re going back a number!

This is a counted cross stitch candle. It would make a beautiful card or ornament.

I’d love to see what you make with it!

Note: Elmows are distributed as a pdf file. If you don’t have it on your computer, you can get the free Adobe PDF Reader here. This creates a nice clean chart or pattern that you can print on your printer (and size up or down using a copy machine, or even work from the monitor, if you want.

What ARE these things? What can I do with them and is it safe to buy them from you?

Reminder – please read–

Because of the size of my downloadable shopping cart (relatively small), after Elmow #12 I will have to begin rotating Elmows. This means that as I add a new one, the oldest remaining one will no longer be available. When Elmow #13 goes up, Elmow #1 comes down. #14 loses #2 and so forth.  If you want older Elmows, now is the time to get them. :)

Probably because I’ve never been particularly great at titles in any case. Tech manuals tend to be called, “User Guide, version X.x” or some such, so I’ve never developed that gift! :) As you can see, this one has two colors, and isn’t 4-way symmetrical like the others!

I’d love to see what you make with it!

I got sidetracked and didn’t get this posted very early, did I? Oops.
Here we go, though. A new counted pattern – very tile-like. I think this one would be cool repeated into a border or tiled for a pillow!

As always, I’d love to see what you make with it!
