   Hi Marilyn if you have the original words in Finnish you can check our translation chart here: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/06/finnish-crochet-terms-and-u-s-crochet-terms.html
   Google often translates terms for crochet incorrectly – especially if abbreviations are being used.
   Hope this helps! Rhondda

   I have my Mother-in-law’s partially finished bedspread. A friend found a book byMary Olki called Virkattuja vuodepeitteita which contained a bedspread Tiheakuvioinen pyorylapeite Auringonkukka.

   In translations, Auringonkukka means sunflower.

   I used google translate to figure out the pattern so that I will be able to finish the bedspread. I am still not sure of all the different stiches to finish the bedspread. What should I do? Some of the confusing information is “to which 24 columns. 2nd ch: (large cross pillars 3 ch (cross right column to the column) pp 1 s from the previous one…
   Thanks for your help,
   Marilyn

   Hi Raylene, Of course 🙂 Whatever you crochet is yours to sell! Copyright only extends to the written pattern and images so have fun! Best wishes, Rhondda

   Hello, thank you for sharing your expertise! I am wondering if you allow people to crochet from your free patterns and then sell the finished product. The patterns themselves would not be shared or sold for profit. I want to honour your choice and thus, I ask first. 😊

   Hi Jody, I’m terribly sorry to hear this. I have 1 newsletter that pops up when you leave my site (and it is programmed to do so 1 time only for however long you have your cookies on your browser enabled). There is one video player that is in every post (which shows my most recent video tutorials) and there are commercial ads that play between my videos in that player. That video player slides out of the post when you scroll down the page to the right sidebar but it does not pop up anywhere else. Other than those 2 that ‘move’ on the site there are no other pop ups. I’ve contacted the ad team and they assure me that those are the only 2 that move around on the page and they have not made any changes lately. The other ones are static on my sidebar, or the base of the page. I have not added any new ad spots to my site in more than a full year so there have not been any changes there, so the actual number of advertisements has not changed. The only change I’ve made recently (last 30 days) is to add the one newsletter pop up that happens at most 1 time a month (when cookies are enabled- the cookies on your personal browser – remind it not to show up each time you visit). If you have any specific examples of what you are seeing that is causing you the issues please feel free to send the images to me. Then I can take those to the ad team and they can investigate further. Thank you for taking the time to contact me and wishing you the best, Rhondda

   Hi Rhondda
   I have really liked the patterns and ideas that come in the newsletter, but when I click a link that takes me to your Web site, there are so many pop-ups and blinking things happening that I can’t stay. It seems like there are more ads now, than real content, and way too many distractions that detract from helpful crochet tips. I’m really really sad about this, but I’ve unsubscribed from your newsletter and won’t be visiting the site any more. I have referred my crochet students to your site in the past, and though I will continue to include it in my list of crochet resources, I’m adding a caveat that they may find they have to deal with a lot of advertising on the site. There are many other leads that I and my students can follow for interesting crochet ideas on the Web. I recognize your need to monetize your site somehow, but it is no longer an enjoyable experience to visit it.

   Hi Linda, When you visit the post that the giveaway is in there is a Rafflecopter widget. It is what you need to click on to enter the giveaway. Everyone who visits and clicks to enter on the Widget (it is like a pop up that has options to select from) gets 1 entry each day they click (for the days the giveaway is taking place). Then there are extra options that you can choose from to get extra entries. Some include visiting a Facebook Page, or visiting an Instagram Page. Once you visit you click that you visited and it gives you an extra entry for those. If you can’t see the widget when you visit the post I have also included a link to open it as a brand new webpage (it says “click here” just above where the widget should show up. If you are entering the giveaways on our Giveaway Link Party those are hosted on other’s sites – for example at All Free Crochet they often have yarn giveaways. So you would click the image of the yarn and it takes you to the other site. When you get there it tells you about the yarn and at the bottom of their post it asks you to enter some information to enter the giveaway. Hope this helps a bit 🙂 All the best, Rhondda
