How satisfied are you with Crazypatterns?

Dear users, dear designers,
how are you feeling about Crazypatterns at the moment? Are you satisfied with the selection of patterns, the variety, the quality? Do you find everything you need and want? Do you get enough help when you need it? 

If you’d like to write something here in this thread, I’d be happy to hear it. If you’d like to rate the patterns you’ve purchased / downloaded for free, that would be great too.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

It’s always nice to be among like-minded people, and that’s especially wonderful here in the forum. Crazypatterns is truly a great resource—there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer knitting, crocheting, sewing, or crafting. Everyone can find great patterns here; the selection is huge.
I don’t always feel like knitting a scarf or crocheting a little bear either, and just like that—one quick browse—I find a new idea I like.
The way the categories are organized is great; when you’re looking for something specific, it doesn’t take long at all, and everything’s nicely sorted for you.

I think the selection here is great—I’m always finding something new.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to do crafts.
I also really like the casual tone here.
Everything I’ve made so far—except for my light snowman—has turned out great using the patterns. The only thing I’m having trouble with here is resizing the pictures. I used to be able to do that; maybe something’s changed recently.
I also think the swap packages and UFOs are great—they really liven up the forum.
I hope I can be here more often. Keep up the good work!

I came across Crazypatterns by chance at the beginning of the year while searching online for a pattern for a gift. It’s just awesome here! I’ve browsed a lot and followed the posts in the forum.
I’ve already bought a few patterns, and my wish list is huge.
The patterns are described really well, and everything I’ve crocheted so far has worked out and been well received by the recipients. Unfortunately, there’s nothing left for me because:
just finished and already gone ;-)
I also love the ideas in the forum (swap packages, UFOs, leftover yarn), as well as the friendly tone.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for crafts since I’m very busy both at work and in my personal life. But I hope I can be here more often. It’s like a little break from everyday life.
So: Stay just the way you are!

I really enjoy being here :).

As an author, I like the dashboard—it keeps everything in one place. Uploading new products is straightforward and user-friendly.

What I like most here is the personal and very friendly atmosphere and support, for example through the forum. I also find it easy and affordable to run ads. I’m familiar with other marketplaces now, and based on that comparison, I can say: When it comes to support and marketing, I think Crazypatterns is the best.

For me, that’s also a reason to get more involved here in the forum—simply because it’s a nice group of people here and it’s fun.

Even though I’ve been running my shop here for years, I’ve only recently discovered many features and things like that for myself. Since sales are going well here, I’d like to put a little more work into my shop :). At the very least, I’m already offering certain products only here and in my own shop. I no longer upload individual e-books to other platforms at all, because they take way too much commission and also like to pressure you into spending hundreds of euros on their newsletters. It’s sometimes quite brazen, even outrageous, what some platforms think they can get away with. What would they be without our content?

So: I feel right at home here and now consider CP my most important sales partner.

Thanks to the entire team!

Best regards,
Sonja

P.S.: I also think it’s great that you can see all the statistics and have analytics in the dashboard. On other platforms, you usually get absolutely NOTHING.

P.P.S.: What I’m still missing is some CP-internal SEO help :]. So: What are the top keywords people are searching for internally? Something like that could be extremely helpful for tailoring your own range to what people are searching for ;)

Thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear how you’re all getting along with this site.

CP is a great resource! You can almost always find what you’re looking for—and even things you weren’t even looking for.
The community here on the forum is one of a kind. Chatting with like-minded people isn’t just a lot of fun—you’re constantly learning new things, too. For almost every question, someone has an answer or some tips ready.

The only thing missing is the ability to edit posts, because sometimes you make typos or think of something else later.

Best regards, Marlies
