Thanks @laurinda-reddig. Sent a message to her to see if she has what I am looking for.

Hi @varian-brandon Great to be here. Hoping we get to bump into one another at one of the meet-ups.

Tabitha…
I agree…good to see you here!

Also…I ordered these pear/light bulb shaped pins recently in a variety of pretty vibrant colors.

Well, looking forward to a trip helps, @donna-jones! I am always busy, just usually not so focused. Quite honestly, getting really clear on some things, and then rejecting everything else has been the main driver here. My word for this year is Jazzed. If I'm not Jazzed (at least with the big picture), I'm not doing it! Then deciding to limit…[Read more]

Wow @jill-wolcott you have been a very busy bunny – I'd love whatever you're taking for get up and go 😉
I hope you have a pleasurable and very well deserved break.

@karen-robinson that's really helpful – thanks for the link too 🙂 I imagined there would be a single voucher code but I can see the flaw in that, and that unique codes might be a better idea to prevent everyone's friends getting a free copy – doh!

sounds like a lot of work to print those off individually – but I see form the thread you linked…[Read more]

@melissa-tompkins-stahl – It may be worth having a look at a few different About pages – I think some people write a lot, others keep it short and sweet. It may offer a good opportunity to invite people to engage with you wherever you hang out on social media – a more personal invitation can be more effective than just an IG or FB button. Also…[Read more]

@melissa-tompkins-stahl and @donna-jones, I agree that about pages can seem really old school, but I go to them all the time. I plan to redo mine as I change my website soon. I think a combination of things: short blurbs or info, video, important images.

One thing I have learned is that very few people see you as more than an occasional snapshot.…[Read more]

Thanks @donna-jones. I am conflicted about “About” pages……I feel like it's old hat too….although I think I should come up with a creative way to work information about me and my process into my website.

@jill-wolcott @riin-gill Add me to the group–I'm not a fan of diamonds either. My engagement ring is a sapphire. I love amethyst, too. (It's my birthstone.)

@donna-jones Yay for sending out a submission! Good luck!

As for pricing, £16.99 for 24 patterns plus tutorials sounds like an amazing deal, print or electronic. So I think you'd be fine with keeping the pricing the same for both versions.

For people who have already bought the print book, the easiest thing would probably be just to gift them a…[Read more]

So earlier I watched the Starship eat my post. I hate rewriting these.

Whatcha Doing?
Getting things squared away so no one (almost!( will know I'm gone from my studio for two weeks.

What's Going Well?
I have written 7 of 8 posts (including two for this week) and scheduled them and done all the social media for them. Will write the last one…[Read more]

@donna-jones Thanks! I earburned my usual list of testers, then sent out an email to my mailing list and posted on Instagram. Somewhere within that combo something worked!

And I'll be doing both print and PDF versions of the book (and anyone purchasing the print version will also get the PDF).

Whatcha workin on?
I’ve just finished and sent put in my first formal knitting design submission to a magazine – Although I’ve published independently and been published by a bookzine recently this is my first proper response to a call for submissions. This has always been a confidence thing (in my head!) so I feel a big obstacle has been ove…[Read more]

@karen-robinson – wow well done for getting so much interest for the test knits – look forward to seeing the book when it's done – will you be doing print or PDF to both?
