Indie Design Gift-A-Long

This year, I'm participating in the Indie Design Gift-A-Long on Ravelry, as both a designer and a participant. I'm so excited about this as it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun.

Here's the basic rundown:
  • There are 293 indie designers participating.
  • The GAL runs from Thursday, November 13 at 8 PM (EST) through December 31 at 11:59 PM (EST)
  • The GAL sale runs from November 13 at 8 PM (EST) through November 21 at 11:59 PM (EST)
    • For the sale, all GAL-chosen patterns are 25% off by using the code giftalong2014.
    • Each designer has chosen somewhere from 4-20 patterns to include in the sale.
    • That means there are 3822 patterns on sale!
  • The GAL itself has lots of games and prizes.
    • Games include trivia/scavenger hunts
    • Prizes are given not just for finishing items but also for posting WIPs and other types of things
    • Prizes include electronic coupons for a free pattern from a certain participating designer (1866 of these prizes!!!)
    • Prizes also include some really amazing physical prizes
    • All paid patterns, not just those are on sale, by participating designers are eligible for prizes
You can get more information (and participate) in the group on Ravelry. I'll also be sharing more information on this blog and through my other social media channels (including interviews with two of the participating designers). And four of my patterns will be on sale during the sale period (all but Criseyde are eligible for GAL prizes):





And you have absolutely got to go here to see the amazing infographic (this link has a countdown; I'm posting the static one below) put together by 80skeins.



I hope you'll join me in participating in the GAL. Even though we have two days before the official start, the group is already quite active with lots of chat and planning, so go join now!
