How did you find Crazypatterns?

Dear users and authors,
What brought you to Crazypatterns, and what makes you stay?
Let me know.

Well, I’ll start then… I’ve actually written this before and just had to copy it *giggle*

I also found my way here for the first time in January 2016 or so, via Google. I was looking for a pattern for slippers—crocheted Chucks, I think. I signed up right away, paid, downloaded it, and never actually crocheted them *lol* After that, I didn’t give crafts another thought.
Then, in the summer of 2017, I kept seeing suggestions for Crazypatterns posts on Facebook. At some point, I felt like giving crocheting a try (I used to knit a lot, but never crocheted), reactivated my account, and quickly found something to make. After a bit of a false start due to merciless overconfidence (hurray, my first UFO), I’m now crocheting like there’s no tomorrow ;-) and have even started knitting again.
So, via Google and Facebook.

CP always popped up during my Facebook visits. At first, I thought it was a page by Nataljia. Over time, there were more and more authors. In February 2014, I signed up as an author, and I’ve never regretted it to this day.
Best regards, Petra

I did a classic Google search for platforms where I could sell my patterns. CrazyPatterns came up pretty quickly, and voilà! I’ve been here for almost 3 years now and feel right at home. ☺

At first, I bought craft patterns the old-fashioned way—in magazines. But then my collection of magazines got too big for my small living room. So I searched online for relevant forums, and CP kept popping up on various platforms. I clicked on it—and that’s how I ended up here.
I think CP is just great, and the patterns are simply fantastic. I’ve already made many of them and brought joy to the people I love. The next person I’ll be giving a gift to is my dad—he’s getting a beer mug made from a pattern I found here for his birthday in April.

I found CP through Google. After taking a break from knitting and crocheting for over 20 years, I was looking for knitting patterns for baby clothes in late 2016. I ended up here after clicking on a photo. At first, I tried out the free patterns and was very surprised by how comprehensive and detailed they were. Then I took a closer look around and discovered quite a few gems that I just had to buy.

Just four months later, in March 2017, I signed up here as a pattern designer. I’ve really come to enjoy designing my own patterns and writing instructions for them. These days, I don’t even have time to work through the patterns I’ve downloaded. ;-)

I especially appreciate this forum and the chance to connect with others here.

I started crocheting about 6 months ago. It was hard at first. I started with pot holders that looked awful in the beginning. I bought a book, but eventually got bored with it.
So I started searching on Google and found what I was looking for on this site. Beautiful creations and easy-to-follow patterns.
Many thanks to everyone who makes all of this possible.
Happy Easter ????????

Happy Easter to you too, Heike! It means a lot to us authors when someone appreciates our work as much as you do. Thank you so much!

I was looking for a platform for my patterns—not through Google, but through Ecosia.
That’s how I ended up sticking around here.

I don’t remember exactly when I first found this site, but it was through Google, because I wanted to know what amigurumi were. I didn’t know that back then.
So I started looking for patterns, and that’s how I ended up on CP. I’ve stayed because this place is so great :-)
