Happy 10th Anniversary, Knit Dance Repeat Designs!

I can hardly believe it's been 10 years already!

It's been a time of a lot of ups and downs for me, but thankfully I've had my fiber friends along for the ride. And my family, of course. But my family doesn't buy or knit from my patterns, and my fiber friends do ;)

You'll notice I've cleaned up the Patterns tab a bit. I thought labels would be useful for everyone, and it was about time to have All the Jigs & Reels listed here too!

Today is Day 1 of the Knit Dance Repeat Designs 10th Anniversary pattern sale, and that means until midnight Newfoundland time my Light Reel Cowl🔗 is 10% off! Click the link and apply the coupon 10CowlKDRD at checkout.

Later today I'll be launching some fun anniversary word games in their own post. You'll be able to play these for the fun and challenge, and/or submit your answers for the chance to win KDRD patterns.

Yours in yarn and cake,

Síle

Light Reel Cowl is updated!

Good morning, everyone!

It's re-release day here at Knit Dance Repeat Designs! And I'm happy to say it's the Light Reel Cowl 🔗 (within site link) that's gotten it's refresh!

Once again I worked with the talented Krista of Krista Dani Photography 🔗 (link to Facebook page), and I'm so pleased with the new photos! It was hard to narrow down which to use on pattern pages and for the main photo in the pattern!! Here's a sample:

What else has changed with the re-release?

Most of it is purely cosmetic: new photos, my logo is in place, I fixed up the headings.

The biggest change is to the low vision pdf. I changed from 22 point san serif font to 24 point. I fully justified everything; my page numbers weren't before, sorry about that!! But the biggest change was eliminating abbreviations and making sure the file is screen reader accessible as well as low vision accessible! It took some time to get it right but I hope it opens this pattern up to more knitters. I have tested this capability using VoiceOver, the built-in voice accessibility tool on iPhones and iPads. 

In honor of the re-release, as I mentioned on Saturday, for today (March 14, 2022) only, the Light Reel Cowl can be purchased for 10% off with the coupon code NEWDANCE. 

That makes two patterns of 12 updated. Which one's next? Stay tuned!

Yours in yarn and lightly reeling through the day 😉,
