It is that time again for a new promotion! I love 7; it has always been my lucky number.. So this promotion will circle around the lucky number 7! (Remember, as long as the word [OPEN] is in the title of this post, it is still running!)

I want to thank everyone who participated in Promotion 1 ! I received a lot of great feedback.

So, what were the most popular answers?

1. What do you like most about the Crochet Garden Patterns

Most popular answer was the originality, tied with (sweet, cute, frilly for the baby items). Also mentioned, was the detail of the patterns!

2. What could be done better or differently in Crochet Garden Patterns (if any, be honest!)?

There was not really a popular answer, except that most could not answer. So, is “not sure” a popular answer? Besides not sure, another popular answer was more free patterns, and more patterns period.

3. What kinds of patterns would you like to see more of on the Crochet Garden pattern website?

Looks like women’s designs topped the answer on this one. Which is a good thing, because this coming year… I will be designing many garments for women!

Ok, so who is the winner of the free pattern? Drawn at random….

The winner is………………………………………..
