10 % off for facebook fans: redeemable on one order only. You can order as many items as you like and the entire (excluding shipping costs) will be discounted 10% off, but you can only do this once. If you already like Captain Apricot on facebook you can still have one discounted order, and if you've already ordered from me with out any discount then you are still entitled to one discounted order. Thanks! Any questions, please message me. :)
SHIPPING INFO: All items are shipped standard post, unless you are outside NZ or choose a tracked option. I post everywhere in the world so if you're not here in Aotearoa, message me to find out postage costs.
COMBINED SHIPPING: Send me a message if you want more than one item and I'll adjust the postage costs for you so you don't overpay, or I can refund the extra to you after payment.
ABOUT ME: I'm a crafty mama of 2 (!), aspiring crochet queen, fashion design student, long time vegan...
PERSONAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: I love the idea of D.I.Y and of making or buying something that is handmade by an individual person and not mass-produced by giant corporations’. It is important to me to be an ethical consumer and be conscious of where my purchases originate, who makes them and how they are treated (if they are employed by a company or business). I like to be aware of how the production of things I may buy effect the environment in which they are made so I can make an informed decision about what I choose to buy. I try to use as much recycled materials as possible in my creations.
WANT CROCHET ADVICE/PATTERNS? I am happy to give crochet tips if you ask. You can also check out the video tutorials on youtube, or google search instructions for most stitches. You can also buy lovely patterns from Felt crochet designer Crochetbury if you would like to buy NZ made patterns that use the terminology that we have here. Pretty much all of my items are made from my own original designs which do not exist on paper. I will not tell you how to reproduce my designs. People say that imitation is the best form of flattery, but please keep in mind that my designs are my own intellectual property and so are legally treated as such.
