The newly designed site has been up and running for a week now and I have to say that I’m so pleased with how things are working out. The new shopping cart is working well and I haven’t had any complaints yet!
I’ve been hard at work designing a big pile of new patterns. I have had a pile of designs that have been in half finished states for a long time. Some of them have been nearly finished for over a year! One of them has been half test knitted and still on the needles for that long. I don’t even know where it is. I’ve spent the week sorting them out, getting them all into some state of organization and then realized I had quite a large pile of designs that were nearly done. I might need to call on some test knitters soon!
I’ve also been spending a significant amount of time working to redesign the Dishcloth Calendar website. I not only contributed a pattern to this year’s Calendar, but I help out Janet by maintaining the website. I love this new shopping cart that I’m using on my website that I want to switch over the Calendar website as well. And at the same time I’m trying to design a funky new look for it too. We’ll see what I can come up with. If you haven’t checked out the Dishcloth Calendar, you might want to head over to the site and take a peek. It’s a wonderful collection of dishcloth patterns. We’re already beginning to think about the calendar for next year!
Check out the Sale! category for the patterns currently on sale. I’ve marked several patterns down from their usual price of $1.49 to a bargain price of $0.99. Get them while you can before the price goes back up!
Since we’ve had so much snow lately where I am, I wanted to look forward to Spring. I’ve put a selection of Spring related patterns on sale. I picked some flower patterns and some of my favorite Springy patterns to help banish these Winter blues.
In designing news, now that I’ve gotten the website up and running and all the bugs worked out (fingers crossed!), I can get back to designing new patterns. I’m currently working on a series of music related patterns. First up will be a series of music notes, followed by a series of musical instruments. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked on any new patterns and I’m really enjoying it. I hope you’ll like them once they come out.
Welcome to the new Designs by Emily!
I have been working on making many changes to the site for the past week or so. You will find all of my patterns here; they have been re-categorized and tagged to make them easier to find. I also have a slightly different web address: both designs-by-emily.com and designsbyemily.com will work now.
One of the biggest changes is that my blog now shows up on the front page. This way I can make announcements and show off new patterns and customers won’t have to go digging for that information. Other new features to the shopping cart are the ability to put items on sale and a more streamlined checkout process. The download page keeps a record of all your downloads and how many times you have left available to download.
I’m very pleased with the changes to the site and I hope you will be too!
The Designs for Emily website is down for maintenance today, Sunday February 14th. I hope to have the site back up and running later this afternoon or evening. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please check back later to check out the new and improved Designs by Emily!
