I too use StitchMastery and love it. If Joeli or I can't help you, there's a Ravelry group that is great about answering questions about the program.

I used to do my patterns in Word but I now send them to my graphic designer who uses InDesign. I still make the charts in StitchMastery and send them to her.

I use Stitchmastery and it's what's used by many big publications.

What's giving you trouble? Maybe I can help.

Get well soon, @riin-gill!

@katie-franceschi I think our mistake was we were thinking of it as a professional outlet because when you posted here, and probably if you went on to post just like this to your blog, you didn't make it super clear who your target people where.

That's a great thing to identify and fix! At least in my opinion haha

Thank you Tara. I am more than happy to have people here. I actually think we could talk easier than in a restaurant.

May 21 if that is still ok. I had a conflict come up for the 14th.

I'll have some food and we can sit and talk and/or walk up to the peak and see the view. FYI…this is a walk on a road as opposed to a hike on a trail.

Here is my recent Yarn Crawl shawl – Weeping Rock. I got the pattern written and up on Ravelry in time for the LA Yarn Crawl. I just got it to an editor so hopefully not too many errors.

I need to work on photography as well.

What a great (and brave) reaction and such a wonderful outcome! Thanks for sharing this story and for the win with this fan!

YAY! That's so awesome Amy!
Congrats on sending the email and asking the hard questions!

(Jess sends an email to people who have left the Starship, just to ask if there's anythign we can do to make it better for future members and it is SO great to hear the reasons people are leaving (which are 100% about THEM and often because their business…[Read more]

I just wanted to YAY again with you, CC! I am so thrilled that this is making you feel so much better!
This week I jumped into something similar, in that the focus is on WHOLE foods.

My weight went up (after being stable for about a year after my weight loss in 2013), 10 lbs pretty quickly and I think it can be tied to stress (cortisol's a…[Read more]

Varian couldn't do it on the 14th. Does the 21st work for everyone?

Ok! I'm going to make executive deicsions…not because I'm in charge, but just so we can move forward!
Let's do Varian's (or downtown Asheville? You tell us which you prefer, V!) on 5/14.
You tell us the time, V (and the location if you'd rather do it downtown. I looove downtown, so up for either place.

And let's do Charlotte sometime after…[Read more]

SASHA! I didn't know you'd be there! Excitements!
Ok! So let's just pick a time and place!
Saturday morning, 10am…where? Someone pick a specific booth and I will be there!

Hmm. I think the kind of marketing decisions it would help make is:
What keywords are people searching to find you? Use more of them!
What specific site is sending you traffic? How can you do more of what's working there?

I don't know that just knowing the TYPE of traffic is nearly as useful as knowing what that traffic did to get to you…[Read more]

@riin-gill you know you have healing thoughts from me! and I agree, healthy Riin comes first!

@jill-wolcott oh dear! A's roommate at rehab is there because he broke his leg in two places (i'm not sure which leg or where). good thoughts for you and your mom. (do you want to postpone tomorrow?)

the days before passover are generally the time of…[Read more]

@riin-gill I applaud you for putting your health first. The payoff otherwise is just not worth it. Yay you.

@penny-shima-glanz, yay for lunch out!

I'm doing a very brief check in here:

What am I working on:
Keeping my head above the water. My mother broke her leg on Saturday. My sister (responsible for the incident that resulted in the break)…[Read more]

Very late-for-me update today. E's working at home and helped me with pesach cleaning this morning and then took me out to lunch!

what's going well? I'm chipping away at all the things.

what are you working on? Plans. I think we're past the urgent crisis part of the aging family medical saga and moving into maintenance/new-normal mode. I'm…[Read more]
