Have you checked out the Fasten Off Yarn-a-Long database of designers and patterns yet? The sale portion ends tomorrow, December 6th! Already?! Time really does fly when you're having fun :) Here's the link to the official site where you can find all the details and the fabulous database: Fasten Off Yarn-a-Longđź”—
Don't fret though; the a-Long portion goes to 11:59pm EST on New Year's Eve, and the chatter will continue for the first few days of 2022 if the first Fasten Off is anything to go by. C'mon and join us!
Fasten Off going through to the New Year has been giving thoughts for KDRDesigns and 2022. I didn't release anything new in 2021. 2022 is going to be busy!
Here's a peek at my plans and some ideas I'm considering:
1. I'm in the midst of changing up the look of my patterns. Nothing important is changing about them, to be clear. A better layout, with my logo added on, plus new (and frankly way better) photos are on the way! I'm excited about this refresh. My hope is to have this done early in the new year.
2. I'll be looking for test-knitters for the first pattern I'll be publishing in 2022. I'll have a post here and on Instagram when that's ready to go. I'm working on the sample currently, and then it has to go to my brilliant techeditor before I can even think about giving it to test-knitters. And yes, that means a new dance pattern coming out!
3. I'm toying with a mystery knit-a-long. I think I could run it via Instagram. It's a scarf so I'd be timing it for September/October, right in time for the cooler weather. We'll see if it comes together right!
4. Depending on how quickly samples get knit, there could be at least 2 additional test-knit opportunities for 2022! And that would be 2 more pattern releases. You're all going to get sick of me in 2022! ;)
That's how 2022 is summing up!
Don't forget to check out the Fasten Off sale before the end of tomorrow!! 25% off is a good deal and you'll support Independent designers, like me.
Yours in yarn & grandiose plans for the future,
SĂle
I really like this new concept. But facing barriers (of my own, not your fault) such as no PC on which to store my patterns (I plead guilty in continuing to use my Ravelry library because of this) plus sticker shock of another 27% increase in my rent, commencing in 2022, I was a bit surprised and disappointed that PayHip did not honor the advertised offer. They showed a nearly 30% higher baseline price, which after the promo code was applied, still left the final price higher than the posted baseline price.
ReplyDeleteHi Marti, the prices in the database were all converted to US dollars. That's why it appears different than my prices which are in Canadian dollars. It does workout to the same advertised amount once converted.
DeleteSo sorry this confused you! I should've thought to include something on it it in my posts but it didn't cross my mind. Again, sorry for that!
