Checked out Chiagu yesterday only to find that they aren't currently accepting submissions. Bummer. And Knitting Vault might be accepting submissions, but apparently they aren't looking for newbies. Questions like: How many patterns do you have for sale? How many do you want to sell here?
Well...one and one...
Then they want 60% of whatever I think the pattern is worth. So designers are charging $6.00 for a pattern that might be worth $2.00. Are there people out there that will do that? For six bucks you can get a copy of Vogue Knitting and get dozens of patterns.
Guess I'm in the mindset that if I can design, then anyone can design. And it's true. Thank you Elizabeth Zimmerman!
Chiagu might not be accepting designs right now, but they have a lovely blog and an opportunity to join a Web Ring of other knitting blogs. The main catch is that I'd have to post at least once a week...which is what a blog is all about after all.
Meanwhile I've got a personal project on the needles, a pair of socks for The Shuj. It's time to knit from the top down and re-master the old-fashioned heel. Might even show pictures of this one :)
