So I had an idea whilst I was scrolling through my pattern library (which is a lot of patterns my bad lol)
Anyway I was trying to find a certain pattern and I had an idea… what if we were able to sort our patterns into folder like boxes? Like a YouTube playlist almost!
Say when you open your pattern library there is a plus button
(kind of like the one you click to create a post)
When you click the plus button a notification pops up that says ‘Do you want to create a new folder?’
And when you press yes you are able to click and select all the patterns you want to put into the new folder, when your finished it will ask you to name the folder so…
‘My Christmas patterns’ for example,
After you name the folder and are finished you can now click on it and the only patterns that will show will be the ones you put into the folder
I used an editing app to make some examples :))
This is what you will see when you go into your pattern library:
There is a plus button in the folder so you can add more patterns whenever you need to
If there are patterns that aren’t sorted into a folder they just go underneath the folders like in the first picture
I personally would absolutely love this, not only would it make my life easier, it would have a cleaner look (to me anyway) everything would be nice and sorted and if your like me and have ALOT of patterns in your library this would be very useful.
Omgoodness I absolutely love this. I have been hoping this would have been part of an update since I joined!
I have patterns I want to make but because it’s such a pain in the butt to find them… (especially when the list decides to go DERPY and there’s 2 or 3 of each pattern showing up)
I’m like nope, I’ll sign up for more test patterns, easier and faster to find what I’m looking for. (We won’t mention that the test patterns are so adorable snd screaming TEST ME!)
R.I.P. patterns I have bought and get frustrated trying to find, I do not plan on buying the Ribblr+ ever. Sooo yep. Not going to buy it only to use the folder sort. It would be a waste of money that I could use to buy more patterns to support my fellow crocheters that have the courage to create patterns.
You know, many of us on this app are teenagers and can’t buy anything, it would be a cool idea to win free Ribblr+ for a year maybe when you get ROTW or earn the Devotee badge? For me, it’s a little disappointing seeing all of these cool features coming, but not being able to try them. It doesn’t have to be in the wheel, maybe something harder to earn. Just a suggestion
