This bicycle sprocket pattern is 8 inches in diameter. This will make a nice wall hanging for any cyclist. This is my regular apology for not being able to answer all the email. I really do try but I'm so slow answering questions that I just get too far behind. Please do not think I am ignoring you personally. Keep sending the email and I'll do my best to get to it.
I often get email asking how I keep up with the blog and keep regular content coming and answer all the email. On a typical day I have about 2 or 3 hours to work on the blog, design a pattern and answer the email. Sometimes it's less than an hour. Some days the patterns come quick and other times I draw a complete blank. 80% of the pattern design is the idea phase. Once I have an idea I can generally draw the pattern fairly quickly. I make pattern design my 1st priority then I answer email with the time left unless there is some problem with the blog that needs attention.
After the pattern is designed it has to be uploaded to the server and the photo has to be edited. After that I write the post and publish it. If you are observant you will notice that under each post you will see the time of posting. They usually range from 11pm to 2am or later. Luckily I don't seem to need much sleep because I have to be back up a 6:30 am to go to my day job.
I am also very lucky to have volunteers that keep the Community forum and the free online catalog running smoothly. Without their help those things would be neglected badly.
Running the blog takes some time but it has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever been a part of. I have met so many great people and learned much from them. Thank all of you for allowing me to share what I do.
