I want to speak directly to our Free members for a moment.
As part of the membership restructuring coming March 2nd, there will be one important change:
Beginning March 2nd, the Free Pattern Library will move into our Premium membership.
This means that Free members will no longer have ongoing access to the free pattern library.
I want to explain why.
When I started this community, I made as much as possible free because I wanted to remove every barrier for beginners.
But as we’ve grown, the pattern library has become one of the most valuable parts of this community — and it’s also one of the most time-consuming and costly parts to produce.
Each pattern requires:
• Yarn
• Supplies
• Design time
• Testing
• Filming, editing and producing the pattern
To continue creating high-quality patterns month after month, the library needs to become part of a sustainable structure.
Here’s the positive part:
The Free (Standard) membership will remain strong and focused on exactly what beginners need most:
✨ The Circular Knitting Machine Beginner Course
✨ The iCord Beginner Course
✨ Full access to the community feed for support, encouragement, and celebration
No one is losing the ability to learn.
No one is losing support.
No one is being pushed out of the family.
We are simply moving patterns into a member-supported tier so the community can continue growing.
If you are currently a Free (Standard) member and would like to keep any patterns from the free library, please download them by March 1st.
After that date, they will only be accessible through the Premium or VIP membership.
And I want to say this gently:
The Premium membership is going to be $1/month or $10/year.
That investment costs less than most balls of yarn.
Less than a single takeout meal.
Less than a fancy cup of coffee.
Less than most single patterns.
For the price of something you might not even remember buying next week, you’re helping sustain:
• New patterns every month
• Yarn reviews
• Community-created designs
• The continued growth of this space
If this community has helped you…
If you’ve downloaded patterns…
If you’ve felt supported…
Premium is a simple, accessible way to continue receiving patterns while also strengthening the community that supports you.
If you have questions, either send me a DM or place it here in the chat. I am here to answer them all.
Thank you for being here. 💛
