On the one hand I understand how annoying it must be to get a sea of comments just saying “pattern??” whenever you post a finished object, but also, people who literally never post pattern sources or show the yarn they’re using & make it ridiculously hard (or impossible) to find that information confuse the fuck out of me
#like you’ll see on here whenever i post an FO i always link the pattern#and i’m totally willing to give details of yarn & needles used (if i remember) & any alterations i made as well#it doesn’t take long. i literally just had the webpage of that pattern open. why wouldn’t i link it#and what especially gets me is when these people are designers.. like that’s your OWN PATTERN#why are you making it; showing it off to everyone and then not providing a link???#i had to go through 3 different instagram accounts to realise that this woman was the designer and that she has a shop#you’re missing out on so much income by doing this.. FO posts for your own designs are like free advertising. why not link the pattern??#i don’t think there was a direct link anywhere to the actual pattern. i just found the shop and that was all#like???? why#you went to the trouble to design this; make it; take a million photos of yourself in it; post those photos#and post the design to your shop and charge for it. yet you couldn’t post a pattern link in the caption of the post where you modelled it?#linking to a pattern takes pretty much the least effort out of everything else in the entire process#like that levi lovie i made? took me around 4-5 hours. linking to the pattern? 3 seconds#IDGIIIIIIIIII#if you don’t want people to make the same things as you just say that#idk. it just sends me how many people on insta are like ‘omg look i made this super cute plus size crochet top 🥺’ and then never explain how#i’m asking for a pattern not a step by step hour long tutorial#i know you or somebody HAS the pattern. why is it hidden from me#personal#rant
