	\|Well, since people add to the data base constantly, it all becomes a big soup of personal projects. However, these personal projects are open for everyone to see! See, let's pretend you want to start a new sweater. You browsed through the front page, found a pattern that you liked, but aren't sure about the fit or the color you want. The great thing about us is that you can see the "Projects" subpage of each pattern, in which people will have shown their work and how they made the sweater before you. You can see the project in progress, in different yarn types, on different body types, and so without seeing any of the judgement you see online most of the time!		\|Well, since people add to the data base constantly, it all becomes a big soup of personal projects.

			\|'''''Oh I understand better! Do I have to make an account to browse the patterns?'''''
			\|No, you don't need one! The patterns are free to browse and consult for everyone. However, if you want to buy the pattern through our in-house shop, you will need one. You will also need an account to save your patterns if you want to keep them for later!

			\|'''''And how will that help me learning more about knitting?'''''
			\|Well, if you want to engage in the community, you will most definitely see progress happening in your knit-game. By creating the habit of creating a project subpage, you will start taking notes on your knitting habits, the type of yarn you like, how quick you knit, what kind of new techniques you're learning. Tracking what you're doing make you see the progress, and helps you curate your projects better. You will also probably help other people figuring out what they want to do by posting your own progress on there!

	\|Well, I know stepping there can be a little bit overwhelming, since a lot of our content is brought in by our users/customers. We tried our best to make everything as clear as possible, but it's very hard when you manage the content of a community of 9 to 10 millions registered users. We created a tagging system to ensure a clean organisation of the products and patterns, but knitting and crocheting are such intricate art forms that the tagging is sometimes over specific and loses a little bit of it's interest. Also, a lot of our users are on the older side, so everything computer related can be challenging for them sometimes.		\|Well, I know stepping there can be a little bit overwhelming, since a lot of our content is brought in by our users/customers.

	* What does it mean to be on time? Are you on time often? Why or why not?		* ''What does it mean to be on time? Are you on time often? Why or why not?''
	** Being in time means respecting other's time. It means setting up a common structure for life for multiple people. As much as I want to, I have a hard time being on time when it comes to group meetings or class, because I feel like it's a shared responsibility, and if I'm the one late, there will always be someone present there before me, so I won't leave 1 person hanging. However, if it's a one-one meeting, I will be on time. And since I know I have a tendency to be a little bit late (never more than 10-15min I think, except in exceptional cases), I'll force myself to be extremely early to anything more serious, like travelling, catching a train, etc..		** Being in time means respecting other's time.

	* Do you find yourself in conflict with standardized time?		* ''Do you find yourself in conflict with standardized time?''
	** Yes when it comes to social construction, like being productive in the morning. I'm very much a night person and I'm super productive at night/in the evening, meaning that if I need something while I'm productive (help for instance), no one will be available to help me, and it will cut my stream of progress. Today it seems like everything is made to accommodate morning people. It was especially hard for me in High School, as school started at 7.30am, and I could never have a good night of sleep. It's getting better now, but I'd be insanely happier if i only had class in the afternoon and class ended at 8pm.		** Yes when it comes to social construction, like being productive in the morning.
