Does anyone else get frustrated that most of the pattern posters dont answer questions that you have about the pattern? A good example of this is a cupcake coin purse in Russian and English. Ok, thats great but, when I opened the thumbnail it had a free AND paid pattern. I asked what the difference was between the two and which one was in English and never got an answer. This happens A LOT! Id say every question I ever had about a pattern was unanswered. I assumed that the poster had made the doll in question and I ask specific questions about it but, of course no answer. So I either buy the pattern, just to find out that its not what I want or I dont buy it when it could be what I want. It is very frustrating and a little upsetting.

The uploader is anonymous and he/she wants to stay that way.
So, thats why you did not get an answer from her (or him)

You must do what you want, but most wont answer.  Post time 2018-5-24 08:15
One cannot remain anonymous? I have answered peoples questions about patterns because I bought them and no one thought I was the poster.  Post time 2018-5-19 11:10
That makes sence ! I was wondering the same about no answer, but now I understand. Thank you.  Details Reply Post time 2018-5-18 14:58

The poster wants to remain anonymous. No one will answer your questions. And no, pattern shareres are NOT the ones who made the pattern.

I know the poster is not always the pattern designer. I was assuming that the person sharing bought the pattern for her own use, thus has made the doll, or whatever and could answer my questions.  Post time 2018-5-19 11:14

Must patterns from Russian language cant be translated 100% . The pattern never is accurated in any languages!! The difference is that Russian language has punctuation and vowel reduction! The spelling was formerly quite more phonetic and less consistent!

Im sorry but, I dont know what translations have to do with my post.  Post time 2018-5-19 11:33
But surely if a pattern from any other language can be translated into Russian does that not imply that the translator has an understanding of both languages being translated?  Post time 2018-5-19 01:57
I know there is no translation from Russian patterns.  Post time 2018-5-18 17:26

It doest make sense to ME. If the uploader is anonymous how would anyone know that the uploader is the one answering the questions?  Post time 2018-5-19 11:27

I agree, its frustrating, but the mods give no answer, I have no idea why. The question is you must make a choise, buy the pattern or leave it, there is no other way, if you dont get a answer.

Ive had some luck using a translator for a few German patterns, but I do have to follow the picture.  Mind you I have not put  needles to project.... yet.

some people wants to stay anonymous, and also get a lot replys that people post, just for coins, so you dont always look at it, some people cant read ore write english enough to answer, or didnt make the pattern yet

I think it can be very hard for people to see that someone asked a question. If you share a pattern, you get a notice for each person that comments (or at least I do). So many of them are "thank you" that it is too time consuming to read through all of them to see if there is anything that is an actual question. It is a bit frustrating, I agree.

It really is a shame because there have been times when I have a question but it gets lost in "thank yous". I wish I knew of a way to get questions answered!  Details Reply Post time 2018-5-24 05:21
Absolutely, this too! I didnt think of this, but totally agree with what you said :)  Post time 2018-5-22 08:23
I see. That is understandable. What a shame for those who truly want information on a pattern.  Post time 2018-5-21 08:44

People just want to remain anonymous I guess, doesnt hurt to ask though. Perhaps those who have the pattern already can answer your questions :)
