I’ve just recently started my blog and am becoming more inspired to really make this something worthwhile. Your posts have helped so much! I look forward to seeing more of your patterns.

P.S. Chocolate chip cookies and Gilmore Girls are some of my favorites too! I’m excited to watch the new episodes on Netflix when I get time.

I publish all of my patterns as free ones for a few reasons. 1. I like for everything to be in one place. If every pattern is available on my website, the reader may stick around browsing all of my content. The more times someone clicks around, the more pageviews I get = more dollars! I’m not confident I would have this kind of return traffic to my blog if some of the patterns were paid. 2. This being the case, I stand to make more money through ads on my blog with happy readers that get their patterns for free, rather than make $5 for each pattern but not nearly as many people want to pay for a pattern. 3. Everything being on my blog is so much easier to manage. Since my traffic has really taken off a few months ago, I’ve been a busy bee! I really don’t have time to monitor sales on Etsy, Ravelry, Patternfish, or other places. For me, blogging is easier. 4. I’m new at this. I’ve only been crocheting for a few years and I’m still learning so much as I go (especially about design)! Folks tend to be much more forgiving about a typo or stitch count error in a free pattern, rather than one they’ve paid for. Again, I want happy readers at the end of the day.
Hope this helps ya! <3

You are truly an inspiration. Wanted to solicit your opinion, I have recently created my blog and am ready to upload my 3rd pattern, I’m on the fence if these patterns should be free or giveaways. My initial thoughts were giveaway the easier ones and some of the difficult ones I should sell. Do you give away ALL your posterns? I know you sell them ad free but wanted to know your take since you know your my crochet hero 🙂

I have to say You are one of my mentors in our crocheting world. Like you, I am self taught crocheter. My very first beanie was from your youtube channel – slouchy puff stitch beanie. Thank you!
You inspired me and I would like to start my own blog soon. Thank you so much

Love lots
Rebekah K.
