One small business owner to another: you are not charging enough. You have a nice library of free content, and there is nothing at all wrong with continuing some of that. But charge what you are worth. It increases the value of the free content and compensates you for your time, experience, and talent. You are worth it sister!

I have to say, you’re one of my favourite KZfaq channels. I would totally buy your book of patterns. You’ve inspired me to start making my first sweater. Patreon is a good idea too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity. You deserve to do well with your business!

Hi Ashley! I love your free content - but I would absolutely buy the pattern then watch the tutorial! You deserve to get paid for this great content. I love the idea of you showing how to make a pattern using whatever stitch we want. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while - and would totally pay for that. As another commenter stated, I would support you on Patreon, too. Looking forward to what you come up with next!

I didn’t realize how many patterns I missed. Your channel is my favorite. Free is wonderful but if I need to buy the pattern, it’s worth it. Your videos have helped me work through my anxiety of making my first garment. I have made 2 vests with your help. Would love to see a video using 2 colors in a piece or garment with out snagging the yarn? Looking forward to your spring/ summer patterns. You knit so fast it’s amazing. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I used smaller needles and thinner wool, and my sisters are so happy with them! I printed the pattern, and then watched your video whenever I felt like I needed a hand with something. It was great!

Ashley, I appreciate so much all that you have shared with us. It was your Winter Bluff Sweater that started me with a raglan-style sweater/pullover. This is definitely my go-to pattern because I don't like doing any purling... Shhhhh... don't tell others. LOL I would love to see some lightweight yarns (#3s or #2s) raglan-style tees in your future designs. I am looking forward to what you will make in the coming new year. Have a wonderful New Year! Again, thank you for everything.

I'm a slow new knitter so takes forever to knit a sweater but your videos make it happen, so that is the content I'm most interested in. Also I have such a hard time understanding different yarns & you've helped with that. Thanks again

Thank you so much for your great tutorials. I have made several sweaters from them and find them the easiest to follow. This year I have either knit or crochet 12 sweaters. The last sweater I crochet the pattern was off and it took me almost 2 weeks to redesign it to look and fit right. It was a Christmas gift for my daughter so I never gave up. I would love to purchase a book from you. Please include more worst weight sweater

@Mel-jn5kq Жыл бұрын

Ashley, thank you so much for all your amazing patterns and tutorials. They are invaluable to a beginner knitter. I have made nearly all your cardigans and jumpers this past year, which would have been totally impossible, only for your tutorials. I am just about to seam up my crescent cable cardigan, which turned out amazing. Your uniqueness definately lies with your tutorials, no one else does these, so you could definately charge a fee for these. Anyway thanks again for all the amazing content. I wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year.

I just happened to come across the mountain time pullover sweater video tutorial and went to download the pattern... halfway done. Love how it's turning out. I noticed that when I start with a pattern, I look at the kind of stitch it is then make a gauge with what I want for it to be and just go on from there. So with that new pattern maybe have a one sizes and show how to do the stitch would work, as I already do that anyway. But what ever you decide will sure look out for the pattern. Thanks for your beautiful patterns, will make more this coming year.

I'm a crocheter at heart but I wanted to learn knitting as well. As a beginner knitter I have enjoyed your content so much. You make everything look so easy and beginner friendly. Im learning to do lace right now. I bought the Vogue Knitting Ultimate stitch dictionary, and I'm working on the Foliage Lace stitch making a scarf. I would love to see more complicated lace stitches on your channel so I can have a visual of some of the stitches. There is one in the book called the Leaf Chain stitch I couldn't grasp and would love to be able to do it. I would also love to see how to make more stitch patterns in the round to turn them into hats. I will soon be attempting one of your Chunky sweater patterns. You make me feel like I can do it! Thank you for all you do!

Hello from France 👋 I'll definitely be interested in learning more about your business, how you make money, how much. I find this subject really interesting as well, especially knowing your content is for free... 🤔 I'd also love a video about modification inspiration based on your patterns. As an absolute beginner (knitting my first sweater ever using your winter bluff pattern rn), I struggle to picture how to modify a pattern to add a little twist, a little something different. It could be as simple as adding rows of a different stitch to play with texture instead of a plain stockinette stitch, playing with colors, etc. It could be anything, sky is the limit 🙂 I always found it useful to help beginners (and not only beginners actually) to go beyond their creative/skill/imagination limits. Maybe you already offer this type of content and I didn't browse through all your videos carefully enough. In that case, keep doing it ahha 😊 Thanks to your videos, I decided it was time to start knitting NOW. I felt really well "guided" and you make knitting seems so doable. Thanks for your patterns and the videos coming along. A very long comment, sorry for that 🙃

I would, however, love to be able to make this in a less bulky yarn while maintaining the same sizes, etc. If you are knitting a sweater (or garment) that is being knit in the round, does your math still apply that you mention in the lace cardigan video. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
