Ok, did you find this on Annies site? If so where?

I didn't find it, Crazyboutcrochet, another viller did. I just reposted her post as it was in the end of one of the other Annie threads and wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

So, how do we find the link for the free pattern? I've been checking the site for a two days now, and cannot find where they've hidden it.

I still would like the actual link. Which I can't find on annies attic. So where did the person who found this link find it at on annies home page???

I think maybe they were surprised by the response to canceling it. I am just glad that it is back :angel

by the way the pattern for today the 4th is perfect for me because i just bought red, blue, white with siver shiny stuff in it and the freedom ombre from ILTY to make an afghan for my best friend who was in the air force and served 3 times in Iraq and is now in the national guard and is about to go back but now to afghanistan.

Thanks for posting this whoever it was I really appreciate it and thanks for starting this thread with the link. I really really have missed their free patterns.

The old link was just "http:// .. .. . ." now the new link is secure "https://" that is what the "S" means.

Thank you! I am very surprised that they didn't announce this change on their homepage.

I got an error message stating the page could not be found. That's interesting since it was there yesterday. I wonder what's up with it? :think

I can't get the link to work. There are two different links posted, one displays "error" the other displays an Annies page but not the free pattern. HELP PLEASE!!!

Strange. It was there before but now it seems to be gone again. Here's hoping it returns soon.

For a few days the link in the first post was working and it was a completely different pattern than the one posted at this link. I'm not 100% convinced it is the same Annie's Attic pattern but that it has just moved. :think

I'm not completely convinced, either. This is a free pattern site - all the patterns are free. It's great if they've created a new site, but I'm not sure we're getting anything special at this link. It's like on freepatterns.com - they have a free pattern of the day, but it's one of their regular free patterns...they're just calling attention to it.

I hope we get this straightened out soon.
Maybe we should all contact Annie's Attic about it! :yes

it would be nice if they would just make one decision and stick to it. This all in alt then in despair is hard to take day to day.

I called Customer Service at Annie's Attic. The free pattern of the day has been discontinued. Annie's Attic owns this website which offers free patterns:

www.free-crochet.com (http://www.free-crochet.com)

I did not ask why they had discontinued the free pattern-of-the-day.

Here are the email address and phone number for customer service, if someone would like them:

Thanks for the info. I sent an email. I'm sooo disappointed! :(

Thanks Gran!
I sent them an email earlier this morning, but haven't received their response yet.
I'm glad there's a new free pattern site, but it's a shame that they've discontinued their free pattern of the day. :sigh

when you go to that link, if you hit the button on the left that says patterns to buy...the top 20 selling patterns come up on Annie's Attic and my blue bear set is number 12 right now...I was number 10, but it has gone down a few...very exciting!

Thanks for all your info on the free pattern of the day as I too was wondering what happened to it. Thanks for the other links all.

When registering and "choosing" your interests there is not one mention of crochet! Knitting is the first option but no crocheting. :angry

But, you are signing up for crochet:hook so they know you are interested in crochet. If you sign up for the knitting pattern site, it has the same kind of questions, and lists crochet as an interest but not knitting.

:eekWell, duh... Why didn't I think about that. I guess I just want crochet to get mentioned REGARDLESS! :crocheting

It seemed odd to me too when i filled out the crochet part, but then when i saw the knitting part, i realized what the deal was :)

I joined the free patterns.com site hoping to be able to download there free patterns. Well, I can get into the pattern but not able to print them off. It tells me that it can't be printed off. You can't even ccp it. On the adobe it says it is secured. I wrote to them telling this this but so far no answer from them. Is any one else having this problem?

I can't even open the files!!!
I've tried 3 times now. I download the file, which takes 10-15 minutes on my dial-up internet, then when I try to open it, I get an error message saying that I can't open the file.
I download pdf files from other sites all the time, and have never had a problem opening them before.
Oh well, there are enough free patterns out there, I guess I really don't need any off this site.
I wonder if AA is going to notice (or if they care) that there will be a lot less traffic to their site. I used to go there at least once a day for the free pattern and ordered from them several times but now I really have no reason to visit them.

I downloaded the T-strap bootied and hooded scarf patterns (wearables - children) and had no problem with the .pdf or printing them once I installed an update. Before I installed the update I was having problems with pdf files from a few other sites as well.

I received a response to my letter:

Thank you for your interest in our products. We are no longer featuring the
free pattern of the day, but you can find lots of free and wonderful
patterns at our other sites: Free-Crochet.com, Free-KnitPatterns.com and
Free-Quilting.com.

We appreciate your interest in all Annie’s Attic has to offer!

Annie’s Attic

(Here is the letter I wrote, if curious:

To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing in regards to the Free Pattern of the Day. I have been a regular customer and it was because I enjoyed this extra service; it was my desire to show my loyalty and appreciation by being a faithful customer.

Please consider bringing back the Free Pattern of the Day. It is of utmost concern at the major international online crafting forums that this has been seemingly discontinued and customers were not involved in nor made aware of the decision. As you are no doubt well aware, there is no shortage of online businesses for fiber artists, and losing a perk such as the Free Pattern of the Day is enough to drive customers to the competition.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Schmetterling
