Just a small update, but no knitting content to share, I’m afraid.
I’ve moved my free pattern downloads to Ravelry. Anyone who is a member there can view the pattern and download it directly from the information page and then store it in their Library. But best of all, the downloads work even for those people who are not on Ravelry, so I’m not being elitist. 
And I’ve tested this by logging out from Ravelry and then downloading from the links in the sidebar so all should be well!
