How can I get an email to you?

My email address is LindasYarnArt@gmail.com. You may email me for general questions and even simplistic requests. I will always respond as quickly as possible.

I purchased a pattern through the website, but I still haven’t gotten the pattern.

The first thing to do is go to my website and you will be able to check any purchase or free pattern you’ve downloaded at https://www.lindasyarnart.com/my-patterns

Also please always remember to check your spam & other folders, as the automated link can sometimes go to those folders. After you’ve checked and it’s still not there, please forward your payment receipt to me at LindasYarnArt@gmail.com with the request for the pattern and I’ll be happy to send it to you directly.

Are these patterns graphed?

No, these are written patterns, not graphed patterns. I edit and prepare images in Photoshop, then process them using specialized software developed by my son. The software converts the images into detailed, row-by-row written crochet patterns with stitch counts, along with a lettered color chart for visual reference only. You do not need to follow a graph because all the instructions are written out for you.

What method of color changing should I use?

Whatever works best for you. There is cut & tie, bobbins and long strands. My YouTube Channel shows some of these and you can also search other YouTube channels for more info. My channel is listed above.

How many colors/shades are there in a pattern?

It depends on the pattern. I always try to match accessible yarn shades with my patterns. I normally wouldn’t do more than 12 or so colors for something very colorful.

Are there any free patterns offered?

Yes, here is the link to my free patterns: https://www.lindasyarnart.com/downloads/category/free-patterns

What size hook should I use?

For most crochet art I prefer a 3.5mm hook and for overlay mosaic crochet, I prefer a 5.00mm hook. The preference is personal though.

How do I know how much yarn I will need?

Approximate yardage is included in the 2nd page of the pattern.

How much does it cost to have a pattern written?

Here is the link to my pricing: https://www.lindasyarnart.com/pricing

Could I use a different stitch other than single crochet, such as HDC, DC, TSS?

It depends, some images will work but it is not always recommended for portraits as certain stitches might distort the image, but it depends on the stitch.

Can I use the same pattern for cross stitch, diamond painting, plastic canvas, etc.? = YES YOU CAN USE THE SAME PATTERN AS EVERY WRITTEN PATTERN ALSO COMES WITH A MATCHING LETTERED GRID, WHICH FOR SOME CRAFTS, LIKE CS, DP OR PC CAN WORK QUITE WELL
