Gift-A-Long 2017

GAL 2017 has began on Ravelry and I am one of 311 independent designers who take part. “What is Gift-A-Long? It’s a multi-designer promotion to help you kick your holiday gift-making into high gear! The Indie Design Gift-A-Long is a 6 week long KAL/CAL of holiday gifts made from patterns designed by a rather extensive list of independent designers. From November 21, 2017 at 8:00 pm US EST to December 31, 2017 at midnight US EST there will be fun games, contests, and 8 KAL/CALs that will help you get your holiday knitting and crocheting done with companionship and fun! From November 21, 2017 at 8:00 pm US EST to November 28th at 11:59pm US EST tons of indie designers will be discounting between 10 – 20 of their patterns 25% for this event”. Use coupon code: giftalong2017

I have discounted 20 of my patterns and you can see them all in this gift-a-long-2017 bundle. The total of all discounted patterns is 5 388. All participating designers have given away 6 individual digital patterns as prizes in the Knit/Crochet-A-Long threads in the dedicated Indie Design Gift-a-Long group. So the total number of digital prizes in these threads is just below 2000. So what are you waiting for? Do join us!

Here are some of my hot tips: Check out fellow Norwegian designer Kari-Helene Rane, her sale bundle is here: gift-a-long-2017. And Doreen Blask, aka Mrs Mumpitz, her sale bundle is here: gift-a-long-2017. Both designers are presenting other GAL designers, Kari-Helene on Facebook and Doreen on her blog. I have answered Doreen’s questions and you will find the interview on Tuesday 28. November here: mumpitz.design.

Gift-A-Long 2016

rv76m9f-imgurFor the second year around, I am taking part in the Indie Design Gift-A-Long, GAL for short, on Ravelry. I had a great time last year seeing all the projects being made, the competitions, and all the chatting in the Indie Design Gift-A-Long group. You can easily join the fun even before you know all about, just like I did last year. The Indie Design-Gift-A-Long is a 6 week long KAL/CAL of holiday gifts made from patterns designed by a rather extensive list of independent designers. From Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:00 pm US EST to Wednesday, November 30th, 2016 at 11:59 pm US EST 335 indie designers will be discounting between 5 – 20 of their patterns 25% for this event. Use coupon code: giftalong2016. There are 2 200 electronic pattern prizes to be won as well as physical prizes, for taking part in the KAL/CAL and the Designer Hunt Game. Take a look at the interesting stats above.

ravelry-500x500-v2-hi-resAbove are the most of the patters I have discounted, since each item in a pattern count as one. The collage was made for the sign-up and you can access the full list of designers and see all the collages here: ravelry.com. In addition we have all made a Gift-A-Long 2016 bundle of discounted patterns so that they are easy to find. The hard working group moderators and volunteers have also made a series of Pinterest.com/IndieDesignGAL boards for you to look at. Do join us!
