I can’t wait to get started! I hope you’re excited too!
I look forward to the new patterns every day. This has been wonderful especially in a month that’s usually very blah. Thank you!!!
Beanielove didn’t work for Day 12 – I tried and tried for an hour and it didn’t work and now that I’ve tried hours later, it says the code has expired.
“Coupon Breeze60 does not exist “ I tried 3 times, with/out capitalization. 11am EST
Nightfall80 doesn’t work for her spike stitch hat on Ravelry. I tried…. Sorry.
I love this, but why can’t i still get day 2’s pattern. I was here an hour ago and then came back, just in case, but it is still the 2nd and the code for day 3 is up. Isn’t not supposed to be up until before 8am CST on day 3? It is not even 11 pm CST, and dy 2 is already changed. I have been sick all day and just woke up, I figured if i was here before midnight it was ok. You never posted a cut off time. Thanks for running this though, I know there can be glitches. I would have emailed, but I know they can go unnoticed if you get too many of them.
I update the post the evening before, but that shouldn’t change anything else for the codes. Not sure why you’d have that issue, unless you are in a different country?
I can’t seem to find the discount codes…
If there is a code it will be in the description of the pattern above. No all the patterns will have codes, as described in the post above too. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for this. I love learning new crochet and Tunisian crochet techniques. I was wondering where the discount codes were. I couldn’t find them. Thank you so much in advance!
Thank you so much for offering this to keep me busy and productive this month. ~Yarnblooded
