🧶 Call for Testers 🧶 I am so pleased to announce that my Lanelands Shawl is finally ready to test!

Flexible deadline 4th May. Full info here: forms.gle/RcpzsQV6c4WL...

Went out to take proper photos of the shawl 🧶 today (this isn't one of them)!! Hopefully I have something to work with now! 🎉😁 Test call coming real soon!

If you could only choose one craft for the rest of your file, what would you choose? 🧶

This will likely be the next pattern to be released as an interactive OPAF pattern. It will showcase how great both progress tracking and charting is with OPAF patterns. 🧶

Opinion post! 🧶

Knitters and crocheters, which do you prefer: working from charts, written instructions, or both?

In order for interactive and accessible patterns to become more mainstream, more designers need to start offering their patterns in the format.

People who #knit or #crochet... Do you view/read you PDF patterns on your phone or print them out and follow along? 🧤🧶🧦

I predict people may have strong views either way!

The faces behind OPAF! 🧶 #hi

Scott is the programming genius and I (Cat) provide the knitting/craft knowledge.. oh and everything website/Comms/social media.

OPAF is NOT a business or service hiding behind a pay wall. We are 2 people working on this in our spare time hoping to make a difference.

OPAF patterns 🧶 like PDF files, are simply a carrier of pattern information. But unlike most PDFs, OPAF files have the ability to store dynamic information making it possible to create truly customisable patterns in a format that's clear and easy to read, irrespective of screen size! 📱
