My credit card information is correct but keeps getting declined.
Please see the following list of checkout errors:
The zip code you supplied failed validation.
If you receive this message, please confirm with the cardholder's bank that the address they have on file matches the cardholder's current address. If the cardholder has recently moved, it may take their bank a while to have the correct zip code on file for them. Using the zip/postal code that the bank has on file for this card should stop this particular error from happening.
Your card does not support this type of purchase.
Some debit cards require a PIN to be entered. If this is the case, we are unable to accept the card and another card should be used to complete the purchase.
Some cards have restrictions on cross-border usage. If the card was issued outside of the USA, this could be the problem. If this is the case, you may wish to contact your bank and ask if the restriction can be removed.
Some cards, such as corporate cards or FSA cards, can only be used for certain business categories such as travel or healthcare.
Amount must be at least $0.50 USD.
In order for our credit card processor to accept a credit card, the amount charged to the credit card must be at least 50 cents. This commonly occurs when a customer uses a gift card for the majority of their purchase and has a small remainder to pay.
Why was my credit card charged when my order was declined?
When your transaction is declined, no charges should exist on your credit card.
Certain banks and credit card companies place holds on user's cards for order attempts, even if no actual transaction takes place. Transaction holds on credit cards should disappear from your statement within 1 to 5 business days. The amount of time depends on the policies of the issuing bank, and this process is entirely out of our hands. We do not have the ability to influence when or how credit card holds are implemented. Any further questions regarding the hold process should be directed to your issuing bank.
If these holds do not disappear within a week, we recommend contacting your bank or disputing the transaction as we only collect funds for successful orders.
What is the refund policy if the pattern doesn't meet my expectation?
While digital patterns are generally non-refundable, we are committed to your satisfaction and will work with you to resolve any issues.

How do I know if a pattern is too difficult for me (pattern skill ratings)?
Our patterns are labeled by difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) to help you choose the one that best matches your skills.
Beginner: Basic stitches, including increasing, decreasing, and finishing.
Easy (beginner+): Simple quilt patterns and/or shaping.
Intermediate: More complicated quilt patterns and diagrams.
Intermediate+: More than one quilt pattern in the same design and more complex shapes.
Advanced: Complex quilt and color patterns and/or complex shaping and finishing techniques.
You have a pattern that I would like in a different size - why can't you provide it?
Unfortunately we cannot provide every pattern in every size. Each new size requires a considerable amount of labor in order to modify and test the design, and certain patterns will not translate well to larger or smaller sizes.
Can I change the needle size (or hook size) and make a pattern larger or smaller?
In order to be sure the project is the size you intend, you must work to the gauge of the pattern. Changing the needle or hook size is inaccurate and the results may or may not be satisfactory.
How do I convert a crochet pattern to knit (or vice versa)?
Knitting and crochet use stitches that are different sizes and shapes.
You can't "convert" a pattern from one to the other. Each pattern must be totally redesigned and even then, it's not always possible.

How do I keep yarn from unraveling when I use it for fringe?
Almost all yarn will unravel somewhat when cut at the end for fringe. Some people think this adds to the beauty of the fringe; however, if you would like to limit the amount of unraveling, you can use one of the following methods:
Apply fabric glue, a product found in fabric stores, to the ends of each fringe
Knot the end of each fringe
Crochet a loop-like fringe (e.g. single loop fringe)
Please note that loosely spun yarns such as Homespun will fray and shed when cut, so we recommend you use the above methods for Homespun fringe. This is nature of these loosely spun yarns: the loose spinning gives them their silky-soft, lofty feel; however, it also means that the loosely spun fiber is more likely to pull apart. If you would like to add fringe to a project made in a yarn like this, but would prefer not to use one of the methods above, we highly recommend that you use a matching color in a plied yarn for the fringe.
How to Knot Fringe
Fringes differ in the number of strands, but the basic principle of applying them is similar to that shown here.
1. Insert a crochet hook through the first outside stitch where you want the fringe to be positioned, from the wrong side of the fabric to the top. Use the hook to grab one strand of each of the four colors of yarn.
2. Use the hook to pull the yarn through the stitch.
3. Cut the yarn, to the approximate length of the finished tassel.
4. Feed the ends of the yarn through the loop.
5. Pull the loop tight.
Felting Techniques for Crochet
Felting is a fabulous, funky way to transform a knit or crochet piece into something completely different. It makes a fabric that is dense, warm, and strong β perfect for bags or cold-weather items.
Ideal Yarns for Felting
Yarns made of wool (non-superwash) and other animal fibers are perfect for felting. When the fibers of wool are exposed to moisture, heat, and agitation, they cling and tangle together, creating felt! However, the felting process is irreversible β once felted, you can never go back. Consider using yarns like Fishermen's Wool, Lion Wool, Alpine Wool, LB 1878, LB Collection Organic Wool, and LB Collection Pure Wool.
The Felt Formula
Felting is achieved by exposing wool to water, heat, and agitation. The amount of each element plays a part in how the piece felts. Felting can be done in the sink, but washing machines work great too and do the job much quicker. However, the felting results may vary between different machines, so follow the specific felting instructions for your project and check your piece several times during the process.
Felting Steps
1. Wash in warm water with soap.Β Soap speeds up the felting process. Adding baking soda or washing soda to the water can improve felting. You can wash your felted items with other laundry to increase agitation, but be sure to check the tips below.
2. Rinse in cool water.Β This "locks" the fibers in place. Most machines have a warm wash/cool rinse setting.
3. Air dry.Β Shape your piece before it dries. If necessary, pin it into shape on a blocking board.
Special Note on Felting with Landscapes Yarn
Landscapes is composed of wool and acrylic fibers. Only the wool will felt. Wash by machine on a long setting with hot water and cold rinse with detergent and several pieces of clothing to agitate. If your water is hard, add baking soda or washing soda. You may need to wash the item several times to achieve the desired felting. To felt additionally, dry by machine on a regular setting until almost dry, then lie flat to shape.
Tips for Felting
Washing:Β When washing your felted piece with other clothing, try putting it in a mesh lingerie bag to prevent it from getting stuck.
More Washing:Β Ensure the clothing you wash with it wonβt run or pill.
Relax:Β Mistakes in your handwork wonβt show up after felting.
One of a Kind:Β Each felted piece is unique due to the various factors involved in the process.
Gauge Gratification:Β Because felting varies, gauge is crucial. Patterns may have you make a gauge swatch, felt it, and measure it before and after. This helps control the process.
Check It:Β Check your piece multiple times if felting in the washing machine to ensure itβs just right.
Felting Factor:Β Test your machineβs βfelting factorβ by making a swatch and checking it several times before the end of the cycle.
Cut It Out:Β Felted pieces can be cut without unraveling, allowing for creative designs like fringes or woven strips.
Mix It Up:Β Mixing yarns can create interesting textures. Only the wool will felt, creating textural differences.
Have Fun:Β Let your imagination guide you in this versatile craft!
What size hook should I use?
Hook size may vary depending on gauge. Please refer to your pattern for suggested size & gauge.
