How did you discover Crazypatterns? Why have you stayed?

Dear users, dear authors,
how and when did you discover Crazypatterns?
What keeps you here? Why have you stayed?
Let me know.

Hi,

I stumbled upon CP while browsing the internet. I think that was in 2015.

I’m really happy to be here with you all.
The patterns are just great, and if you need help, it’s no problem at all.

It’s really great here.

Best regards, Heike

At the end of 2016, I was searching online for patterns for baby clothes, which is when I started knitting again after more than 25 years.

What I found was pretty disappointing—until I came here. What I especially liked was that the patterns are written in such detail and supplemented with pictures.

And then, after just a short time, I felt inspired to design my own patterns. It’s since become my favorite creative hobby. The whole family—and even the dolls and teddy bears—are now dressed in hand-knitted clothes from head to toe. I can’t even imagine life without knitting needles and yarn anymore.

I’m very happy to be here. And I really enjoy the interaction here, even though I don’t usually like to post actively in forums.

The opportunities offered here and the straightforward process have convinced me to stay. Especially since I’ve already made some really great connections here.

Best regards, Monika

I found out about CP through a craft and sewing forum; the woman in charge there posted patterns from here very often.
