Site-Wide Activity

lots of great things happening here – congratulations

@mary-roth that is AWESOME – way to make it happen

Forgot to answer the second part, @jill-wolcott: Yes, that's me on the photo. The lady I teach at in Wuppertal is a photographer (besides being a LYS-owner) and I booked a shooting with her. As always, I had some crocheted things along. Posting the pattern with a professional photo is an experiment – checking whether it influences sales. 🙂

I started my group rather late – more than two years after I published my first patterns. It is not the most active group but people do use it to find out about my classes and other events, so it works. We even had a spontaneous mini-CAL for one of my shawls this year.
It was a good place to showcase other designers during the gift-a-long last…[Read more]

Thank you, @jill-wolcott and @barbara-kish!

@jill-wolcott, you aren't even kidding! A store owner at the festival I attended back in March is the organizer of smallish one in July (part of a bigger farm show sort of thing), and wants me there. I've known about that one. But she asked me yesterday if I wholesale with anyone too! I'm not sure what she has in mind, but…yowza! Good thing it's…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald, I put your wrap in my FB page this morning and am going to point some crochet-friends to it too.

@c-c-almon, I'm on the verge of launching a new base that is exactly the gauge for that cowl! Can I use the pattern as part of the “tease”? I don't know how yet, I just know it would work out perfectly and give you some boost too.

Hi All!
I've made a reservation here: http://www.opentable.com/banana-leaves-asian-restaurant-and-sushi-bar for 7 pm on June 11 (Saturday). It is 1.8 miles from the Convention Center, but I'll figure out a place to meet and we can deploy cabs/ubers to the restaurant.

Stay tuned!

@barbara-kish sound like we should do it after your big weekend!You should likely be careful what you put out into the universe as it seems to be listening! 😉

Working on: kind of a double-post here, but I was offered a booth at the Central New York Fiber Festival (after being on the waiting list), which is in three weeks. And my usual booth-mate had a baby…this morning! (Mom and new daughter are doing fine. 🙂 So she isn't going, but we share a lot of equipment, and need to arrange how to get it to…[Read more]

Hi, Jill. Sorry to leave out details.

Interested. Depends on cashflow timing, and would prefer fingering weight. But the color is me, and the group knitting sounds super fun.

I love CS @kimberley-bridgwater! I also love Yoast. They make it easy to do the stuff I hate doing. I also now have a better grip on what they help me accomplish.

Thank you @jill-wolcott! I couldn't remember the name of the scheduling plugin so many of you use. Co-schedule is now added too.

I started my group around the time I released my first design. I didn't like the attitude of a few of the testing groups when I was a test knitter and wanted a place to host my own tests.

Almost two years later, there's little chatting and very few members. My own fault, between my introversion, shyness and health, I don't post often or…[Read more]

Congratulations @mary-roth! It's great that you're a month ahead tomorrow!

I set up a Rav group just about as soon as I opened my etsy shop, but I might be a bit of an anomaly on this topic. I am very active in a few other large Rav groups (non designer/dyer/business related ones) and most of my initial group of customers/fans have come from those groups and are people who are relatively active on Rav on a regular basis.…[Read more]

Way to go @mary-roth!
