Crochet Spot Store is Finally Here!!!
By Rachel Choi – 2 CommentsIt’s been way too long and too much procrastination on my side, but finally it’s here!!! If you just stumbled upon my blog you might not know what I’m talking about, but in a nut shell, 3 months ago I said that I was going to open a store to help support funding all the supplies I need to keep making patterns for Crochet Spot and to get a new video camera so that I can start making video tutorials. So here I am today, so happy to finally have a Crochet Spot Store!!!
But don’t be scared!!! I still intend on making free patterns and tutorials. I just need a means to support doing it. The more money I can raise, the more I can make and share for free!
Any support that you can provide will be greatly appreciated! The store contains patterns that go above and beyond my previous patterns in quality. If you find some that you like, feel free to make a purchase knowing that your money will be used to support this site.
Also, if you like multiple patterns you may choose to opt-in on the “Premium Pattern Membership” to save you some money. The membership is $10 for all the patterns in the store. In addition, lots of new patterns will be added each month so you will also receive all the new patterns each month for $10 each month (or the equivalent in other currencies). Hopefully this membership option will make it easier to share patterns with you all without having you sell a kidney.
As I know from experience there is always someone that needs help more than I do. So to kick off the Grand Opening of the store, 50% of all Premium Pattern Memberships made during June 29th – July 31, 2009 will be donated to Project H.O.M.E. who’s goal is to end homelessness in Philadelphia (the city I’m from)! Feel free to check out their site. They do amazing work!!!
I love being able to share new and exciting things on this site with you all!!! All the money raised in the store will be a great help for me to continue to share what I love most: crochet!
So go on and check out the new store and let me know what you think!
Hi Rachel, I have more questions on your Premium Pattern Membership. I am still not clear on what happens for Month 2. OK, let’s say I sign up tomorrow. July 1st. What happens come August 1st? Am I automatically billed another $10 even if I don’t select any patterns from your store?
Hey Donna!
It’s all automatic, so if you pay the first time on the 1st, it will automatically bill on the 1st of the next month. It doesn’t track whether you download anything or not. But once you do subscribe you will be able to download any pattern in the store for no additional charge, including all the new patterns for as long as you are subscribed.
Whether you decide to go with the membership or not, once a pattern(s) is paid for you can immediately download it from the site. There’s no wait.
Let me know if you have more questions, I’ll be happy to answer 🙂
