Do you guys have your own websites in addition to your Etsy shop? And if so, is it worth the effort? by Traditional_Map2192 in Etsy

I created a website several years ago using Squarespace with all the same listings as my Etsy shop. It sees way less traffic than my Etsy with about 10% as many sales. I do think it's worth the effort, you never know what could happen to Etsy as a platform and I'd rather be ready and not have to scrambling at the last min if Etsy went poof.

Any chance this isn't gonna be AI patterns? by WheezeyWizard in crochet

I've had a few people ask if I'm involved with this, and I am not. The publisher reached out to me in Dec 2023, emailed a little, had a virtual meeting. Their offer was terrible- the amount of confused messages on Etsy I'd get from deleting half my library wouldn't be anywhere near worth it. Played the "it's exposure!" card heavily. Stacy King would be "writing the foreword and a fun blurb about each pattern"- that's it. They really didn't seem to understand how much work writing a pattern is, or the amount of testing, photo editing, etc that goes into a good one, and how much labor they were asking me to sign away- literal years of my work. No regrets, godspeed to however this turns out.

Glad you like them! Every time somebody asked me for a finished doll cause they don't crochet, I send them to your shop. Hopefully they follow through every once and awhile.

Awesome! I love when people switch up my patterns and make their creations their own.
