So. Um. Whoa?
So, as some of you who read me know, I am a rainbow person, and a knitter/spinning/anythingwithfiberreally person.
There was recently, on Ravelry (fiber related social network) a rainbow related controversy, that is slowly and painfully being resolved, in a good growth and eventually positive way.
As a thank you for other rainbow supporters, I went to the three main groups who had participants in our big discussions who were vocal, active and polite but firm in support of rainbow related free speech. I offered my one pattern that I have up for sale in those groups (and anyone else who wanted) for free, to say thank you.
I didn't really think much about it, didn't really think many people would actually click through and download a relatively simple, kinda geekily named sock pattern, when there are thousands of free sock patterns available.
My little sock pattern is now sitting at number 1 on the What's Hot list of available patterns.
On a site of 3.8 million members.
Um.
I'm a little befuddled and shocked and a tiny bit scared, because...
What if it sucks, guys? What if I'm a horrible pattern writer and everyone hates it and any chance of selling anything else ever is ruined because I wanted to say thanks?
So, um.
YAY! but Whoa.
Here's the socks!
