That’s the link to the program if you didn’t get to listen live…
Tamara Kelly, of www.Mooglyblog.com was the Guest today on the Yarn Thing with Marly Bird Podcast.
She can be followed in all sorts of places:

Also in Ravelry, check out her list of designs (warning: She’s been BUSY!) http://www.ravelry.com/designers/tamara-kelly
Marly had put word out on Social Media that she would like to have Tamara on to talk about Moogly and incidentally Tamara had learned a lot from Marly, too, and still they look forward to meeting in person! Tamara worked on commission crafting and started her blog to promote that. Her logo with the Octopus is the envy of anyone who is multi-craftural (not confined to one craft) and the word MOOGLY came from her daughter who used this to describe things unstable. Tamara finds that her time to craft is evenings and weekends mostly, but clearly thinks about it all day and probably dreams about it, too, it seems. Her blog came from her desire to share what she was working on, progressed to sharing her patterns and then to sharing techniques. She shared that her favorite book is a Stitch Dictionary because it uses charts! The ladies discussed the differences and benefits of FREE verses PAID patterns for themselves as designers and as customers, a lot of which depends on the time involved in putting the designs together, how many people had to be drawn in to help in the way of design advice and testers.
Tamara (with a little help from her family and friends) has a wonderful website, please take a moment to check it out and tell them Marly sent you. (Tell Tamara she did an awesome job today… This was her first appearance on the Yarn Thing, we hope she will come back!)
Free spirit? Free time? Free Moogly patterns from Tamara? Voila!
Thank you Tamara for all you generously give your followers!
I wish I could find more free time to do everything I want to do!. Great podcast and I’m just off now to the Moogly website.
Great podcast!!
I too have trouble finding free time for crochet, but I did do a version of your Leaping Stripes and Blocks baby afghan, loved the pattern, thank you!!
I love the Moogly blog and all her great free tutorials. They help me grow my crochet knowledge. Thank you so much!
I wish I was free to spend more time crocheting!
I love the Moogly free patterns on Ravelry. I have made several and look forward to more. Thanks Tamara and Marly for this podcast.
Like many others I wish I had more free time to accomplish everything I want to do. Too many projects, not enough time.
I find it very FREEing to have the crochet resources provided by your sites. Thank you.
I can understand why designers don’t like free patterns but for those of us in pinched circumstances it is nice to find quality patterns for free. Then we can afford to splurge a little and purchase a pattern or book when it is called for. I have a tendency to buy more from designers who share some of their patterns for free than those that charge for everything. Thanks Tamara and Marly for an interesting show.
I have used some of the free patterns on Moogly, they are always lot of fun to make!
Thank you Tamara and Marly for the great information. Love your free patterns and those that are not free!
Tamara seems to have such a free spirit that lends to her creativity. Thank you Marly for having her on the show!
I loved hearing Tamara’s story and look forward to perusing through your free and paid patterns.
I get her newsletter and follow on Bloglovin’ 🙂 I also follow yours Marly ;-). I was excited to see her on your podcast! I wish I had way more free time to knit and crochet!!
Ravelry has change my knitting life, who can resist a free pattern!
