A: No, Pattern Design Circle will not teach you how to design. Pattern Design Circle provides the resources to help designers fine-tune and enhance their design processes, including the design challenges, which foster creativity and design inspiration. Beyond designing, Pattern Design Circle provides resources to uplevel your marketing strategies and grow your business. If you are brand new to designing, my 1-on-1 coaching sessions will be a better fit for you right now.

A: Absolutely! The principles of designing and running a pattern design business apply to both knitting and crochet. In fact, I love to see knitters and crocheters working together in Pattern Design Circle to create some fun and unique collaborations!

A: Creating a full-time business takes a time and effort, especially in the knitting pattern design business. There are a lot of factors that come into play: where you're at in your business, what marketing strategies you're using, your mindset, and so much more. So, no, I can't promise you will end the year with a full-time income from designing. What Pattern Design Circle does include, however, are the resources and support system to grow your design business in a way that is authentic to you and will provide long-lasting success.

A: Pattern Design Circle is not a good fit for designers that are uninterested in putting work into their business, or are expecting a magical secret to overnight success. It is also not a good fit for designers who prefer to dwell in overwhelm and negativity. And Pattern Design Circle is not for designers who are disrespectful or unkind to others.

A: Pattern Design Circle is for crochet and knitting pattern designers who are ambitious, motivated, and passionate about transforming their pattern design business into an income. They are already running a pattern design business, and they are craving the support, connection, and resources that will help them reach the next level. These are designers who desire to run a business that is unique and authentic to them. They're tired of fitting into the mold of "everyone else" and as a result, fitting into their business rather than their business fitting into them. ​ And these are designers who value collaboration. They are eager to support and work with other designers. They don't want to view their peers as their competition, and they treat all humans with kindness and respect.

A: Inside the Design Circle, we want designers who are excited about their business, ready to ask questions, and interested in growing. If you have any questions before joining, please contact me. Because you receive immediate access to several resources inside the Design Circle, I am not able to offer a refund on your purchase. However, you are welcome to cancel your subscription any time.
