Das nenne ich mal eine wirklich gute Idee - von Anfang bis Ende gut durchdacht. Vielleicht bekomme ich ja auf die Art und Weise auch eine nette Bewertung.....

Eine richtig gut Idee.

It’s a really great idea—this way, the work of pattern creators is rewarded in some way.
A post here in the forum discussed the creation of patterns and just how much work goes into a pattern like that. That certainly deserves some recognition.
There are already some great patterns here. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for that.

I think this campaign is great, too! Thank you so much for this! And I hope to see lots of helpful reviews for all the authors :) 

I think that’s great, too—maybe I’ll finally get around to leaving a review. THANK YOU—you guys are angels.

Will there also be a newsletter with information about this giveaway?

Great idea! Feedback is always important and helpful!

@Sylvia (haegeltussi)

Don't worry, over time, as sales increase, the reviews will come too. Just be patient :-)

In general, it's just the case that relatively few buyers also leave a review. I know that from myself, too—I’m also rather lazy when it comes to writing reviews.
So I completely understand the customers and am simply happy about everyone who actually takes the time to write a review.

It’s often the case that you buy or download free patterns but don’t work on them right away. I usually don’t write a review until I’ve “worked through” them. But since there are so many great patterns here, I often can’t keep up with crocheting or knitting them all (yes, there’s a life beyond yarn and needles ;D). Sometimes I’m missing the right yarn, or I might realize the pattern is still too difficult for me. In that case, I can’t leave a review because it’s not the author’s fault that I lack the necessary skills.

Thank you all so much.
You’re right—I really like a lot of things too, but I hardly ever get around to crocheting them because I have so many ideas of my own in my head. And a family :D.

Warm regards, Sylvia

I always enjoy treating myself to her patterns. They’re very easy to understand and follow. They help me better create or adapt many of my own ideas. It’s always a lot of fun—thank you!

Tolle Aktion, die Bewertungsanzahlen gehen deutlich nach oben! Und es ist so wichtig, von den Kunden ein Feedback zu bekommen!
Vielen lieben Dank sowohl an CP für die Aktion, als auch an die Kunden für das Bewerten!!

bin super zufrieden mit den anleitungen,alles einfach und verständlich erklärt.komme super damit zurecht.auch beim ausdrucken alles kein problem. vielen dank.

Da ich gesundheitlich eingeschränkt bin,freue ich mich, das sehr viele Vorlagen meinen Enkelkindern
gefallen und ich die Strick,Häkel und Nähvorlagen für Sie herstellen kann.

Welcome to all new users here in the forum and on the site.
We hope you continue to enjoy your time here.

I don’t have a pattern; I probably looked at it, but nothing more. Still, the suggestions are good.

I'm actually satisfied, but it bothers me that something comes up almost every day—it's just too much for me.

I’m very satisfied; I’d like more free patterns and less advertising

I am very satisfied with the crochet patterns and enjoy trying them out

Bin an und für sich sehr zufrieden, nur sind mir die Anleitungen zu langatmig beschrieben, kurz und bündig wäre
 mir lieber und leichter verständlich. Sícher gut gemeint, aber etwas kürzer wäre angebrachter und leichter verständlich zu arbeiten. 

I’ve been looking for weeks for knitting patterns for the Schachenmayr Fashion TAHITI crochet and knitting yarn.
Maybe someone has an idea or some suggestions. Thanks
—that would really help me out.

@ArgyropoulosSchipfer
Die Anleitungen sind ausführlich, damit auch Anfänger gut damit zurecht kommen.
Mir persönlich kann es gar nicht ausführlich genug sein!
Ich bewundere die Autoren die so viel Zeit und Herzblut in ihre detaillierten Anleitungen stecken und hoffe das sich daran nichts ändert!

Where can I find the cute bears to make for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren?

@schatz58
Do you mean the one in my signature?

Die Anleitungen sind sehr gut und leicht nachzuarbeiten.Hat sehr gute Anleitungen!Wäre schön wenn es mehr Kostenlose Anleitungen gibt.

I really love crocheting and am happy with every finished piece I’ve made.
The patterns are well written. The giveaway is a great idea, and I’m sure everyone is hoping to win something. Keep up the good work.

Ich schließe mich einer meiner Vorschreiberinnen an, leider bin ich auch nicht so schnell mit der Umsetzung der herrlichen Anleitungen. Aus diesen Grund wird es wohl auch eine Weile dauern, bis ich sie bewerten kann.
Ich finde die Anleitungen sind gut beschrieben so das auch ich sie nach arbeiten kann.

I’m thrilled—the pattern was a huge help to me. I’m a beginner, and thanks to your pattern, I’ve crocheted two beautiful doves. Thank you

Alle nicht bewerteten Anleitungen wurden noch nicht nach gearbeitet.

I think it’s great that the patterns are easy to understand. Thank you

Ich bin sehr begeistert eure Anleitung ist immer wieder schön lassen sich gut nach machen

The patterns were very easy to follow and described perfectly in both words and pictures.
It always puts me in a good mood to look at your beautiful creations—
and, of course, to try making them myself.

Thank you all. My crochet addiction can always be rekindled because there’s always something new. LG

Gibt immer wieder ganz tolle Anleitungen.Aber leider ist es so das mann nicht alle nacharbeiten kann weil machmal die Zeit davon rennt.

Ich bewährte niemand seine Arbeit , noch gebe ich mein Urteil darauf.

Mit freundlich Grüßen

H.Bolkart 

Bin sehr zu frieden, die Anleitungen sind gut beschrieben und komme auch gut damit zu Recht.
Hätte gerne mehr kostenlose Anleidungen.

I would like the patterns to be numbered from page 1 - ......, and also to mention where to get the additional material, but I think your images are simply great, usually well coordinated in color and inviting to buy 
Best regards, Anita 

super macht weiter so

I can’t find the pattern—I’ve already looked everywhere. Can you help me? Thanks

Hello Marlies,

please contact support - they’ll be happy to help you there: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/contacts/support

Dear users,

the SEPTEMBER campaign has now ended, and we are more than thrilled with the result.

During the campaign period (August 30 to September 30, 2016), around 30,000 reviews were written.
WOW! Thank you so very much for that!

The winners are (10 most helpful reviews):


1. jennifer-wojcik with the review for the pattern: Knitting pattern for beginners - Baby shoes

Excerpt from the review: The pattern is really well illustrated, but in the truly relevant places it is still not clear enough for beginners (may I say, I am one :-)).


2. uschimaus with the review for the pattern: Advent calendar dog

Excerpt from the review: Like all of Dadadé’s calendar animals, this dog is very easy to crochet. The pattern is absolutely clear. If the nightcap is too complicated for you, just make a smaller little hat.


3 Miki74 with the review for the pattern: Crochet pattern - The sofa is mine

Excerpt from the review: I found these two colorful frogs with their sofa so cute that I just had to crochet them right away as summer decor. It is a somewhat more time-consuming project, since both the sofa and the frogs consist of quite a few individual pieces.


4. 08051961 with the review for the pattern: Crochet pattern Christmas wreath Santa Claus

Excerpt from the review: The simple fact that I’m crocheting gingerbread, candy canes, and everything that makes up the Christmas wreath in midsummer temperatures of 30° says it all :)


5. Miki74 with the review for the pattern: Pumuckl

Excerpt from the review: Since the item description said suitable for beginners, I couldn’t imagine that crocheting the little goblin would be a problem for me as an experienced crocheter.


6. Schokoholic with the review for the pattern: Monkey Julie crochet pattern

Excerpt from the review: Another pattern by DioneDesign that is simply described super well! I always crochet with Catania by Schachenmayr and prefer to use hook size 3, because that makes my stitches nice and tight, so the stuffing doesn’t show through the crocheted animals as much.


7. Peterle with the review for the pattern: Crocheted key lanyard

Excerpt from the review: .... for a little gift, I came across these great key lanyards! Even my husband asked curiously whether I had made it. It wasn’t difficult either, thanks to the wonderfully illustrated pattern.


8. Peterle with the review for the pattern: Circle jacket "Jumbo," crocheted in 2-3 days

Excerpt from the review: I had been looking for a jacket like this, because I wanted to crochet something that doesn’t take too long, is currently “in,” and will serve me well since it’s sure to feel like fall soon!


9. IngridStruller with the review for the pattern: Colorful ball grasping toy crochet pattern

Excerpt from the review: I wanted to crochet this grasping ball quickly before our grandson (8 months) came to visit. Making the individual strands turned into a test of patience (I hate crocheting just one kind of stitch for a longer period of time), but in the end I had the six necessary “tubes.”


10. Nadeleule with the review for the pattern: Granny set with bag and triangular scarf

Excerpt from the review: Actually, I was only looking for a pattern for a shopping bag and came across this one by chance (or fortunately). A stylish triangular scarf is also included in the pattern, though I haven’t made it (yet).


Congratulations and many thanks for taking part!

I’ve downloaded a lot of things because I liked them. I can’t say whether I’ll ever actually make any of them, and I’d only write a review based on my experience. Maybe other craft enthusiasts feel the same way?

I’m so happy to be one of the 10 winners! Thank you so much!
When will the store credit appear in my account?

My respect, Alexander, for having read through all of them. You must have been busy with that for quite a while.....

Hallo und vielen lieben Dank!
Ich freue mich total, dass ich dieses Mal auch wieder zu den Gewinnern gehöre. Tausend Dank für die Gutschriften!!! Es gibt hier immer so super Anleitungen, man müßte nur mehr Zeit haben alles zu verwirklichen. Aber ich schätze, dass geht fast allen so ;o)
Liebe Grüße
Petra
