Collaboration
I have worked with many yarn shops, event organisers, designers and editors, yarn producers and dyers over the years. Collaborating with other small businesses is a positive step for everyone involved and for the industry at large, and so I’ve put together my current interests and restraints so that you know what to expect from me.
Yarn Support:
Currently, I am not considering new requests for yarn support. As much as I love working with indie dyed yarn, my current situation – health+work schedule – means I’m unable to commit to additional deadlines. Whilst a yarn producer may be happy for me to take yarn regardless of a commitment to a publishing date, I would rather not enter into an agreement that I may be unable to meet. I do though regularly buy indie dyed yarn, as I’m far happier supporting dyers in this way. Every skein I buy will become a pattern, and working this way allows me to work more creatively, and more healthily.
Commissions:
I am currently accepting limited commissions for patterns or articles to be featured in books, magazines or collections – if you have a proposal for me, please get in touch. My self-publishing work pays my mortgage and bills, and thus is prioritised, yet I do enjoy working with publications.
Copyright:
Please note that I will not sell anyone the full rights, my copyright, for any pattern to anyone. Maintaining my copyright is essential to my income and supporting my family.
Kits:
This is an area where I really enjoy working with indie dyers! I am able to either wholesale single-use coupon codes (that allow your customer to purchase the pattern from my website for free) or printed patterns. I am generally happy for you to knit one of my patterns in your own yarns, and should you be interested in collaborating in this way, please get in touch.
Wholesale:
All of my zine collections, from Circled onwards, and a growing number of my most popular patterns are now available in print wholesale. If you are interested in purchasing my patterns and zines in print for your business, please visit the Wholesale page.
I am also happy to wholesale in a digital format, as single use coupon codes. Please visit the Print Your Own Packs page for more details.
All of my books and patterns are available as digital wholesale through the Ravelry In-store scheme.
Guest Blog Posts:
At this time, I am not accepting requests for guest posts to be featured on my blog, but it is something I may revisit in the future.
Further Opportunities:
If you have other ideas for working together that haven’t been covered by the information above, please do get in touch. I ask that you provide as much information as possible, so that neither of us are chasing for details! I’m happy to discuss ideas via email but please note that I do not use the phone, and cannot manage business via WhatsApp or other messaging platforms – thanks for your understanding.
