Patternist

Patternist is a service to connect designers and yarn dyers/yarn shops for upcoming pattern launches.

Patternist collects pattern previews from designers about upcoming pattern launches and collate to a newsletter to yarn dyers and yarn shops to give them a heads up if they are interested in curating yarn sets or similar. A kind of Reuters or TT of pattern news.Designers can send pattern previews to Patternist and they are then added to a fortnightly newsletter sent to yarn dyers and yarn shops. No promise of promotion is given to either designers or newsletter recipients, only the preview information so designers and dyers/shops can contact each other to work out collaborations.

This is a brand new project and therefore all feedback is hugely helpful. If you have any questions or feedback, please email to patternpreview@gmail.com

Me Made May and my inner peer pressure

Dear self It's ok not to have made your wardrobe yourself. It's ok to buy clothes in shops. Sure, you've knitted a lot of sweaters, shawls, hats, etc. but you don't have to weave your own fabrics and sew your own clothes - you make a lot of other things! What about the print on the wall you made? Or the necklace? You made those! Be proud of things you've made or accomplished, even though it may not be your whole outfit.  May is a fantastic month and on social media a lot of the peope I follow celebrate Me Made May, a celebration of a home made wardrobe. I can sometimes feel the pressure to join in the choir, but the truth is that I've made the decision not to make my own clothes. I want to spend my time on other things and I'm happy to go shopping for my clothes. During MeMadeMay I sometimes have to remind myself that it is OK to wear store bought clothes. For some people it's not a choice, they may not know how to sew, in my case it's more of a ch

A poor writer blames the letters

Communication is important. We live in a society where we have 100's of communication channels in our mobile phones and most of us spend a significant part of our work day in front of a computer communicating with other people. Upping your communication game can change everything for you. I don't claim to be an expert, in fact, I fall into a LOT of communication traps all the time. This post is just as much for me as it is for you, I need to remind myself of some very essential points of successful communication from time to time. A message not understood is a useless message, and you can't blame the receiver for not understanding. If you want someone to understand your message, you need to make sure it's optimised for your reader. The most obvious mistake is sending a message in a language the receiver doesn't speak, but it doesn't end there. Words are only a portion of a language, there are cultural and traditional nuances to take into consideration as well

Search and you shall find

Demystifying search engines so you can be found  Searches and being found in search results is key for designers. Depending on the search engine used to look for patterns the designer needs to provide the information in different ways, this is called search engine optimisation and you probably recognise it by the abbreviation SEO. One thing that they all have in common is that you need to try to figure out what the users are searching for. You can add all the fancy names and words you want, but if that’s not what customers are searching for, then your page/pattern won’t be found. The search engines also work differently and take different information into account in the search. Google works in one way, but if you also sell patterns on Ravelry and LoveKnitting they both have internal search engines that you need to think about. Ravelry The internal search on Ravelry searches in the pattern name field, but doesn’t take the pattern description into account. The filters enables
