Lots of great updates to the designer search this time:
New search criteria: whether designers have done any meet-the-designer events; and designer names via a text search
Search inputs are repeated back to you
There's now a reset button for the search inputs
For mobile users, there's now a horizontal line between the search results and the random designer highlight, so there will hopefully be less confusion between the two
Patterns with more than one FO attached to them no longer appear in the search results more than once
If you've chosen to search for patterns by designers from marginalized groups, this search criteria doesn't get lost when you navigate into subsequent pages of the search results
You can now switch between 'or' searches and 'and' searches for several of our pattern search features! (Previously, only 'or' was available, so this really opens up your ability to be precise in your searches!)
And we've refined the pattern search summary statement - it's now bulleted rather than being all one sentence; we hope this makes it easier to understand.
The #FastenOffYAL discount period comes to an end after midnight tonight (ET). That means you only have about 11.5 hours left to use code FO2023 at checkout on a selection of patterns from our participating #crochet and #knitting designers.
Tomorrow, December 8, is the last day of this year's discount period! 🙂 🛍️ 🧶
Hit up our website and go to "Search and Shop" to find discounted patterns from our participating designers and get 25% off when you use the code FO2023 at checkout! With 3,730 knit, crochet and Tunisian crochet patterns eligible for the discount code, you're sure to find something you love ❤️
Our participating designers appreciate your support!
#FastenOffYAL fans: We want to hear from you! We're planning meet-the-designer events so you can get to know more about our participating designers. We'd love to know what questions you have of our designers, and/or what topics you'd like them to discuss.
