Show Notes

Maybe you're sick and tired of seeing free knitting and crochet patterns everywhere. Or you're trying to figure out why in the world there are so many free patterns out there. Or maybe you're trying to figure out how to utilize free knitting patterns in your business model.

In this podcast episode, we talk all about free crochet and knitting patterns: why (and how) you might choose to incorporate them in your marketing strategy, how businesses are making money off free patterns... and of course my hesitancies and mixed feelings around it.

But of course, through it all, I remind you that you are the boss of your business. You get to choose what feels best to you. You get to choose your business model. And you get to choose if (and how) you incorporate free knit and crochet patterns in your business model.

Tune in now to get the full run down so you can choose what's best for you.
