Those two guys are doing a bunch pattern round-ups to create seo-optimised posts to draw traffic to their site, using pictures from lots of indie designers. Which is fair enough, but I wonder if they got permission to use the photos? 🤔

Designer friends: I am doing a pattern roundup and looking for some great options that are summer-friendly and use a *lot* of colour (especially mini-skeins).

Do you have any patterns that fit that and that I could use the photos of? Please let me know.

Hi Designers! 👋 Could I make a suggestion?
When you have a pattern that you'd like dyers to support with yarn and social media, please choose an easily accessible font for your graphics, and share the name of it with your dyers. Thank you!

I am, once again, down a rabbit hole of fonts shopping and ohhhhhhhh, the ampersands!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Yeah. Never ever seen those spots available more than one minute after they opened.

*also asked on Twitter but have got crickets.

Genuine question for my knit-designer friends*: how long ago did this ⬇️ start happening?

Ravelry’s Featured Knitting Pattern ads used to sell out in *moments*, before you could even hit refresh. And now they’re just sitting there? Wowwww.

Huh. I haven’t seen it in years. You’ve got me all curious now.

Have achieved next to nothing today. Gah.

Also did two loads of laundry, scrubbed the shower, cleaned the gunk where the bathtub meets the floor, did some banking, ran four errands, hoovered the living room, did dishes,  and attended a training seminar. So.
