Finally finished

I finally finished re-writing all patterns, yay! It was a long and very tedious process but it had to be done. I only need to re-write the pattern that is currently in testing, but I will do it tomorrow, since all testers are satisfied with the layout and no errors were found.
Tomorrow I will organize all patterns that need to be written, so I can start writing them, because I have some new designs in mind and I already started on one yesterday while I was resting from pattern re-writing. If I clog my laptop more than it already is, I will make myself another chaos :)
It's better to finish designs that are already made. I don't need to take pictures right now, I will do that later. Although 4 more designs already have pictures. But the capes don't, nor some hats, scarves and gloves.
All I can think right now are new designs, so I have to finish this before I continue with them :)

Weekly summary

So for this week I've done the landing page, but I still have to test it. And that's it for the main goals I set myself to do :))) When I started re-writing my old patterns I was determined to finish them all. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to post them all on my site. And I am almost done. I could have finished them today, but I've decided to relax, knit and watch Castle instead :) There are 14 slippers pattern waiting to be re-written and I hope that I'll be up to it tomorrow.
It funny how I think I can done all that I list for next week :) It seems there is enough time for everything. But most of the last week I was getting up very late and couldn't do things I can only during day. That's why I chose to re-write the patterns instead, I can do that anytime. But I underestimated how much time it would take me to do that, because no matter that the patterns are already written I needed to concentrate quite a bit on over 50 patterns! And they look the same, only the colors differ from pattern to pattern, so some things are routinely done which always makes it difficult, because I keep the routine in my head instead of writing it on a piece of paper.
So now I will copy the things I've planned for last week and haven't done for the following week, knowing quite well that I'll think of something else in between and completely dismiss what I'm about to write, lol. Well, at least I started writing these tasks on paper (quite a number of them) and attaching them on the board next to me.

Tasks to do next week:
-Finish editing my video (voice overs in particular).
-Complete all capes.
-Open a video channel.
-Post at least one video.
-Finish re-writing all published patterns.
-Organize patterns that aren't published and start the process of writing them.
-Make a video about finishing the last cape.
-Edit both videos for crochet gloves

Working all the time

I am still working on patterns. I am finishing up with gloves right now. It is a tough one, but I will succeed it. After that, the only patterns that are left are slippers, which I think will be easy since they are most completed pattern. So just copy and paste.
After that I will get back to finishing the video so I can post it and link everything.
Re-writing patterns took all my last week, so I am shifting all my other responsibilities for next week.

Friday

I woke up very late today. I was re-writing patterns till noon and then went to bed. I re-wrote most of them. Slippers, 2 hats, socks and 2-3 gloves are all that I need to re-write. I may finish everything but slippers for now and then work on my landing page and that video. This is tiring me very, very much and I don't want to make mistakes since I am re-writing patterns to make them better. I need a small vacation :))) I wish I could sleep it off somehow ;)
I also picked today to quit with some of my bad habits. I will see how that will go ;) I'm determined to make this year my turnaround point. The problem with me has always been procrastination, but I have a strong goal in front of me and when I'm in this state, I am determined to get there asap. So either I do nothing or do everything, hehe ;)

And yet...

I've re-written the easier patterns first. Now I have to do the hardest ones. I am already overtired, but I am driven to the point of breaking (which I won't). So from now on the posts will be about me writing the patterns again.

Still re-writing

And I'm very tired. I might make a short break tomorrow. Maybe I'll rewrite only a few patterns, I'll see.
For now I did some gloves and barefoot sandals, cuffs and such. I am going to re-write bags next because they have I-cord stitch which I want to release a video of. So those patterns need to be released soon.
That's it for today. I currently am very tired and will go to bed soon. Zzzzzz.... ;)

More re-writing

I'm determined to re-write most patterns first before I move to something else. I need to input some links into patterns so that is the most sensible solution for me now.
I already filmed one video, it's only left to record a voice over and input and render it all. After that I have to open a channel and upload the video and do everything else to connect it to my site. That is why I want to finish with patterns first. At least that is my own logic :)
I already re-written all jewelry patterns, so Yay for me! And the knitted boot cuffs are also done. But I made myself a slight "problem". I inserted one link that doesn't exist yet into one of my boot cuffs patterns. It is a link to a hat that is made, but not written nor do I have a picture while wearing it. And since it is a hat pattern, I at least have to look presentable in the picture :) I have taken a picture of the hat on a white background and inserted that picture into the pattern (with the link to a non existent pattern), but I want the wearing-hat-one too!
So I usually solve one problem and make myself another one, lol. Well, I'll see what I can do. ;)
This time I wrote my short and long term goals on post-its and pinned them on the board above my working area. And I already crossed some smaller things :) Now onto re-writing more patterns. I think my tomorrow's post title would be the same :)
