Hey @tanja-osswald!

I think some form of exclusivity for subscribers is a cool idea – like either one of the patterns out of the total 12 is exclusive for 6 months, or each pattern is exclusive for a shorter amount of time, or something like that. It's not a deal-breaker but it's one of those touches that makes the subscribers feel special and…[Read more]

Whatcha workin on?

Ever since I did my taxes this year I'm facing the sad truth that I don't make enough money. I can float along for another year and I'm granting myself that. But in order to keep the best job in the world (and let's face it, that's what I have), I need to at least triple my income. So, I'm tackling more marketing stuff.
And I'm…[Read more]

So, here's my revised announcement (with big thanks to Lia and Jess). Can you check it again? Is it less confusing now? Does it sound like something you'd sign up for (if crocheted fingerless gloves were your thing)?

Do you love fingerless gloves, and love making all kinds of patterns like cables, lace, and crocheting with beads? If so, join my…[Read more]

Thank you, @ann-tudor! I can't wait to get my first sale numbers…

Thank you, @jess-cook!
That's an excellent idea about having the first x people voice wishes.
I think I'll split the announcement into something short for posting all over and add in a link to my website, where I give a description with all details.

One more question: Would you think it a bonus if I have the pattern subscription-exclusive for the…[Read more]

Congratulations!!!! This is fabulous @tanja-osswald. Wish you great success!!!

Thank you, Dawn!

That's so cool to have your book! How exciting. Congrats!

Hey @lea-ann-mcgregor! Are you asking about how the in-store pattern sales through Ravelry feature works?

I think Dana's got the right answer here – if they are selling a kit (which is different than just offering Ravelry patterns for sale in the store), they probably contacted the designer directly to arrange some sort of agreement where the…[Read more]

Thanks so much @penny-shima-glanz @nessa-jay @joeli-kelly and @dawn-craig!

For some reason my “subscription” to this thread got removed so I didn't know any of you had replied, but I'm really glad you did because it's very helpful!! I'm going to work through some projects and time myself for it so I can figure out what a package deal price would…[Read more]

Tanja this is great!! I second Lisa's suggestion wholeheartedly. Also be sure to clarify that these are crochet patterns, and like she said, that they still get all 12 patterns if they sign up late.

As to the more detailed description, I'd say something like:

Part of the fun of this subscription is the mystery, but here are some clues about what…[Read more]

Hey @kimberley-bridgwater congrats on the new shop!!! I love that it's already so well-rounded with a bunch of products so even though it's new it doesn't look at all empty.

I second (third?) the suggestion of getting modeled shots of those hats. I found these two examples on Etsy to show what I mean – the hat looks so much better ON a…[Read more]

Unfortunately I don't have any mannequin heads but I will see about getting my nieces and nephews to model for some photos. The girls can do small adults and the boys children hats.

I do plan to do hat and cowl sets in a future update.

Thank you, @dawn-craig!

I made my map very simple this time.
