Linda, I'm so sorry about your loss. *hug*

I don't really have any specific advice, but I'll say that you shouldn't feel the need to share exactly why you had to take a break. “Personal matter” is all that you need to say. It's completely your decision with how much you feel comfortable sharing.

I would love to be in on this conga line of fiber awesomeness! You can find me on IG as undercover_otter 😉

Hi Lisa. I might be able to help you! I do graphic and layout design, and I also own StitchMastery for charting (although I could make charts in Illustrator as well). Not sure if you are looking for help with knitting or with crochet, but I can handle both. Please feel free to take a look at my services on http://www.newgrowthknits.com and give me a…[Read more]

Thank you @carolien-muller-genger!

Hi- I already have the pattern template designed, I just need someone to copy and paste from Word into In-Design template. In terms of charts, I occasionally need someone to do a lace or colorwork chart in Illustrator (I do in excel, but then it can't be resized in a way that doesn't affect line weights, etc., so need to do in Illustrator. And…[Read more]

That would be great Sarah! You can totally repost my pics 😀 Kralalien on Instagram.

I've got one too, but I wouldn't pay a graphic designer to make charts. Perhaps @lisa-barnes you could give a little detail?

I'm so sorry for your loss Linda. May you find comfort. {hugs}

With my technology business when I was dealing with a family medical crisis it was a slightly different social media landscape. I approached each client on a case-by-case basis based on deadlines and their needs and my ability to do work.

I'm honestly not sure exactly how I plan to…[Read more]

what's going well & whatcha' workin' on?

Eh. It's been a weird week (understatement much?). A few things are trying to gang up and bully me (note: things not people/clients), but I'm not letting them beat me up. I'm making progress, not always as speedy as I'd like.

My new glasses finally arrived last Thursday (my lenses come from a lab, it…[Read more]

Thank you, @jess-cook! That's a very good idea!

Whatcha workin on?
I'll take photos for my technique tutorial for Patreon. And I'll start polishing my subscription pattern for March.

What’s going well?
The February pattern is out! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wie-gemalt Ain't it pretty?
I was at my LYS today and had two people interested in my next crochet workshop – and one d…[Read more]

Stuff that went well:
– I sent out my first newsletter. This also helped me plan my production for the month, and make sure I had all the supplies here.
– I set up a website homepage to consolidate all my online places, and make it easy for folk to find me. http://www.louleigh.com.
– My annual price review is completed, and I'm letting my customers…[Read more]

I use a bullet journal too. I'm in a lot of facebook groups for bullet journals and I've pinned a lot of pictures of different lists and layouts. I love the versatility of the book. I can put whatever I want in it and I don't get frustrated or distracted by strict structure.

Thanks @tanja-osswald and @jess-cook for your thoughts. I was thinking it was too generic of a saying for my north star. but good to know that I can use it

@vicky-kooyman I think you can totally use “Just Do It” as your North Star, or maybe even the word Action. Then you can think, when it comes time to make a decision – what's the easiest way to start taking Action on this? How can I just keep making progress without over-thinking? What's the first step, etc.?

Good luck with it!!

@tanja-osswald you've gotten some great ideas here! I would just add that one thing you might want to do is take a look at some other designers who have put together e-book pattern collections, and see how they tied together their photos. Anything from a Knit Picks ebook to those made by designers like Tin Can Knits, Jane Richmond, Wooly Wormhead,…[Read more]

Are you looking for this person to create the pattern template as well or just plug into a template you've already got? I think I can find you a lead I'm just not sure which you're wanting! 🙂

Hi April, I can give my feedback from a lys owner's perspective. And I've also vended at shows so can help with both set up ideas. Lea-Ann
