When I release a pattern, I create a code that allows for a number of free downloads. To figure out how many, I add the copies I provide myself to the copies that other folks have donated.

The codes are intended for folks who need a little treat but don’t have room in the budget for small indulgences at the moment.

We’re doing this on the honor system. You know your budget better than I do, and you don’t have to justify anything to me. The codes are here to be used. If using one will make your day better, go for it! The code for the current pattern and directions to use it are below.

If you have space in your budget to donate one to someone else, you can do that here.

The current pattern is Posy.

We had $35.00 in donations between May 21 and June 25, 2025.

The book costs $15 on payhip. But this book lives mostly on patreon, patreon memberships are less than that, and patreon recently introduced the ability to do gift memberships. So instead of doing a payhip code, I’ve set up four gift memberships to the Rampant Nonsense tier on patreon!

Just for a quick math check, Rampant Nonsense memberships are $12 per month, so $35 is three memberships ($35/$12=2.92, which we are calling 3), and I’ll add another myself.

Each gift membership lasts two months. You’ll be able to download the book and watch all the videos that go with it (and you’re welcome to download all of the other things Rampant Nonsense folks have access to while you’re there!). You’re welcome to cancel or switch to one of the free or paid membership tiers when the gift membership ends (anything anyone gets while they’re a member is theirs forever, it doesn’t go away just because you stop being a member).

The gifted memberships are here. They’re active as of, Wednesday, June 25, 2025, and that link will work until they’re all spoken for.

If the link doesn’t work, it means all the gift memberships have been used. I’m explicitly asking you not to message me saying that you’re upset that if they were used before you got to them.

When I’ve tried things like this in the past, I’ve gotten nasty notes about how quickly the Community Supported Copies get used. I’m going to be uncomfortably honest and say I found that really disheartening.

Things are hard, and I’m doing my best. This is the best way I can think of to help folks who can’t quite make an indulgence fit in the budget right now, to provide a way for folks who have a little more leeway in their budgets to help someone else out, and to still get paid for my time and expertise and cover the costs of running this business.

So far, everyone has been cool, and I’m delighted it’s working so well for everyone. So I’m leaving this request up here in the hopes that everyone continues to be cool!
