Indie Design Gift-A-Long

The Indie Design Gift-A-Long starts tonight!  I’m so excited!

What is the Indie Design Gift-A-Long (GAL)?
This is a multi-designer promotion done on Ravelry.  It begins with a sale: Between tonight and Friday Nov. 21st, independent designers will have between 4 and 20 of their designs discounted by 25%.  Then, all the way until New Years, will be an epic Knit-A-Long (KAL) and Crochet-A-Long (CAL) as people race to get holiday gifts finished.  Meanwhile, prizes and contests will be held.

What patterns is Tinking Turtle discounting?
I’m discounting my entire self-published catalogue.  You can look at it here.

Where is all the action happening?
The Ravelry group is here.  That’s where the the contests, chatter and whole event is happening!  I’d love to see you there!
As part of the Gift-A-Long, I’ll be doing a bunch of interviews and other fun things to encourage participation.  I hope you join us!

Indie Designer Giftalong

I’ve been rather delinquent in posting about this, but I figure better late than never, eh?

This year I’m participating in the Indie Designer Giftalong.  What is a giftalong you ask?  Well, considering how the holidays are a stone’s throw away (I know, don’t remind me!), this means if you are planning on knitting or crocheting for the holidays, time is running out.

A bunch of designers (over 150!) have decided to help the holiday crafters out, creating a sale of 25% off that runs from November 1-15th.  This is partnered with a Knit-a-long (KAL) or Crochet-a-long (CAL) to help people stay motivated to finish holiday gifts.  All along the way, there are great prizes that participants can win.

So, information:

There’s a Ravelry Group for the Giftalong.
There’s a list of Prizes and Patterns that you can win along the way.
There’s a list of participating Designers.
There’s Rules.
In case you are visual (or not on Ravelry), here’s Pinterest boards with all the participating patterns:
