Dedri,
Was wondering if you have an idea when the pattern for Simply Charlotte will be released. I’ve made Sophie’s Universe and an afghan using Charlotte’s Square and am very excited about these ideas being combined. Many thanks for the countless hours of crocheting pleasure you’re patterns have given.
Jenny says
Maryann, even I am excited and hanging on for Simply Charlotte to be released! We will all have to sit on our hands in anticipation I am afraid, as that is a closely guarded secret that only Dedri knows the answer to!
Jenny :)
Angela Hooker says
Hi Deri. I’m on r84 part 11 so I have a little while before I have to start the border. I am not going to add the squares. I have read the instructions for the border a least 4 times know and I still dont understand how to do the base round. Do I only need to add 4 extra stitches per side for the rest of the border to work if I start the border right after r113? I want to be able to add all of the rounds for it. Please help.
Jenny says
Hi Angela. Can you clarify which pattern you are working on, please?
Jenny :)
Cindy Pye says
Hi! I just discovered your site today through a cousin of mine. I love your site and all the beautiful projects you have here. I want to “like” your site, but I don’t see a “button” for that. It would be wonderful to get your newsletter, too.
I’m sorry if I’m overlooking the information I am interested in. I’ve been sick for a while and I’m not very sharp right now. :-)
Dedri Uys says
Hi Cindy. I’m sorry to hear that you have been ill. There is a link in my sidebar, (right under my profile picture and under the heading ‘Newsletter’) that will allow you to subscribe to my newsletter. God bless x

Thanks for the nice work you sharing for us. It is very beautifull.
Dedri Uys says

Sue Poppleton says
I loved your blog on crochet hooks and I would love to buy an Ilona heritage crochet hook but cannot get into the yarninabarn website. Any suggestions for buying in the UK ? Sue
Dedri Uys says
Hi Sue. She only sells the hooks on her website. Could you maybe try and access it again? If you are still unable use the contact me tab to send me an email with your email address and I will contact her and ask her.

celeta moyer says
Hi Dedri! I was very excited to ‘find you again’ after taking a break from crochet because, well, life got in the way! There is so much new to me on your site that it will take me days and days to go through it. I found my ‘Gemina’ (who is now lying in 3 pieces! You would think that after all the time I spent on him that I would never forget how to put him back together!) and my ‘Rosie’. They both send their love.
It looks like you have been very busy…you kinda make me tired LOL.

Hi Celeta. How wonderful to hear from you again. Life is getting in the way for me too at the moment :) I hope you find time to crochet a bit again soon x

Thank you so much for your free patterns..you are truly a genius! I’ve purchased 2 Sophie’s Universe kits so far and will probably get more, they are amazing. All your hard work is so appreciated and I wish you had a donate paypal button, I would love to donate to you.
Dedri Uys says
Hi Summer. That is very kind of you :) I am a firm believer of paying it forward, so if you know anyone else who could do with the donation instead, please bless them with it :) And do tell me if you do. Have a great day!
Annelize Lombard says
Het lank terug kontak met jou gemaak intussen het n jaar of wat verby gegaan is altyd lekker om na al jou goed te kyk en van dit te probeer. Kom net nie by alles uit. Matriek seun moet nou eers klaar maak ry my gedaan op en af. Gelukkig ry hy partykeer darem self.
Het gelees jou blog toe jy hier was en waar orals jy was.
Ek het groot geword in die Sandveld en skool gegaan op Piketberg. Klein wêreld sien jou skoon familie bly daar op die berg.
Hoop jy het weer jou voete gevind noudat jy weer terug is by die huis.
Vat maar tyd om weer aan die gang te kom stukkies van mens se hart bly seker altyd agter. Sterkte en liefde v SA.
Dedri Uys says
Hi Annelize. Lekker om weer van jou te hoor. Ons sukkel nog bietjie om grond te vat, so ek vra verskoning vir hoe lank dit my gevat het om te antwoord. Ons kuier was ongelooflik lekker. Ons het soveel familie en vriende gesien, en soveel wonderlike nuwe mense ontmoet.
Mooi bly,
Dedri
Alessa Delgado says
Hello,
Firstly thank you for sharing Sophie’s Universe. I am making is couple of pillowcases for a wedding gift with the pattern. My question is have you made it into a pillow before? I’m wondering how I would sew it onto the slip or if there was a better method. I had planned on making the pillow slip then stitching it on to the fabric, I’ve done this before but didn’t like the finished result.
Thank you again!
Dedri Uys says
Hi Alessa.
I haven’t made a pillow yet, but I have seen MANY examples and they look great! They do need a fabric backing, though, and I suggest using a contrasting colour or a muted tone for the backing. It only shows through in some places and complements the lacy parts of the pattern.
Wendy Avila says
Hello. Having done a lot of reading and looking at your gorgeous and inspirational work, I’m ready to start using up my oddments accumulated over many years by making one of your beautiful designs (probably Sophie’s Garden) but can you please advise if your patterns are in English or American terminology (I suspect USA) but please confirm. Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.
Kindest regards and warm wishes
Wendy Avila (UK)
Dedri Uys says
Hi Wendy. My patterns are in US terms. For each of my patterns you will find a note just below the heading ‘Abbreviations’. It will tell you if a specific pattern is written in US or UK. Just in case you have the same query for any other patterns. I use US exclusively, unless I have been specifically commissioned to use UK (usually books or magazines).
