Design dilemma -- what would you do?

I wonder if Rebecca knows another door to try with them :thinking:
She seemed to have had a great experience getting her pattern done.
Maybe it was all a terrible misuderstanding… but to repeatedly not contact you when you kept asking for input? Bummer.

Hope it doesn’t color your view of ordering from them. I haven’t tried myself, it’s one of my to-do’s.

I don’t think that non-response from 3 or 4 emails and one handwritten letter could be ā€˜just’ an oversight, unfortunately.

Ahhhh well, I don’t want to sit here trash talking knitpicks, I know so many of you love them. Their shipping to Canada prevents me from ordering from them anyways, this just puts the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Onwards and upwards… :wink:

[size=1]But feel free to send protesting emails to them on my behalf, might get me some free stuff!! JUST KIDDING OF COURSE…although…[/size]

I sent my email!

When they solicit for submissions, they are asking you to enter into a business transaction. The least they can do is respond to your very reasonable request for information. We all will still order from Knitpicks, no one has beat their prices, but it’s good to know that this has happened in case someone else runs into trouble. Don’t feel funny about posting this kinda stuff. Besides, we like to defend our friends!

I’m posting my patterns tonight in ā€˜Pattern Central’…stay tuned [size=2](gotta get the kids in bed first…aaaahhhh priorities!)[/size] :wink:

Ugh, I’m so sorry about that. ((((hugs)))) They should treat you better.

I have to say, this doesn’t surprise me, though, knowing what I know about them – they ripped off the pattern of a friend of mine and tried to pass it off as an original design after she refused to consent to give them exclusive rights.

And I won’t get into the yarn. I know y’all love it. But that’s only because you haven’t tried the good stuff yet. :wink:

After seeing your beautiful socks in the pattern section, I have to say I’m astonished that they didn’t grab them up. Shame on them, once again!

I’m sorry to hear about your hassles… :frowning:

If I want to see your designs, where can I find them? I’m not too good at finding things at Pattern Central…

They’re not a www.knittingpatterncentral.com , if that’s what you’re thinking. Just go over to the pattern central forum on this website and you’ll find them there. Oh wait, I’ll go find them for you…

Enjoy! :XX:

:doh: I wasn’t even thinking about the pattern section in this forum… I just assumed you meant knittingpatterncentral…

heading over to the pattern forum

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction! :smiley:

Thanks for the patterns – they’re gorgeous!

Like everyone else, I cannot believe you didn’t hear back on those patterns. Those socks are fantastic!
Not that it will make you feel any better, but I tried submitting designs to them also and got nowhere…
I’ll still buy their yarn though :blush:
