Books Help

• Where can I find out about your books?

  Clicking on the book you're interested in in my shop will show a full description of the book and what is in it.

  Or you can head to this page on my blog to read about them all.

• I'm not in Australia. Can I still order your books?

  Indeed you can! I just won't be the one you order from as postage time and costs would be ridiculous for you. Search your local favourite online book reatiler for my name or the title of the book you want.

  They are all availale all over the world from places like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Booktipia etc.

• I think I found a mistake in a book

  As much as I'd like to think I and my team are perfect, we're not. The odd oops has on occassion snuck in. As they are noticed, changes are made to the digital edition and manuscript for future printing. Downloading your digital version again will be the most recent version.

  If major changes that affect the ability of a pattern being made, details are added to an errata page for each book. Please note that as corrections are made when found, your version may indeed be the latest version and these errata notes will be irrelevant.

  You can find the errata pages here:

  Granny Square Flair

  Siren's Atlas

  Granny Square Academy

  Granny Square Patchwork.

  If you beleive there is an error not noted on these pages, please get in touch so I can amend things.

Pattern Help

• I don't understand how your pattern is written. Can you please explain it?

  Sure! There are so many formats for crochet patterns, it can be hard going from one designer’s patterns to another. I have written a blog post all about how and why I write my patterns like it do. You can read it here.

  You can access your download from the order confirmation page, the order confirmation email and also your account if you have one.  Please check your spam folder if you need the email. If you used Paypal to purchase, check your Paypal email address for the order email. If you still can’t find it, email me with your order details and we’ll sort it out. No drama.

  You can choose Paypal to be taken to your Paypal account. Or you can choose Checkout, where you can pay with your credit card, google pay, apple pay or shop pay. You have the choice here to set up an account for my shop to save time entering information for subsequent orders.

  If you have a discount code, you will be able to apply it at the final order confirmation page.

• Why do I have to enter my email address, even for a free pattern?

  Well, if I ever update a pattern, for whatever reason, you will automatically be emailed the new update. Cool huh? This is the same if it’s a free or paid pattern.

• How do I get my order and save the pattern to my device?

  The order confirmation page has a link to download your pattern. The same link is also in your order confirmation email and can be accessed in your account if you have one. 

  What happens when you click on download will vary depending on your device.

  The file will either download straight to your device folders – mine go to a “downloads” folder – or open in a new browser window.

  If it opens in a new browser window, you will need to save it manually to your device.

  For windows systems, that may mean clicking the downward arrow on the top right of the file preview.

  For apple devices, you will need to hit the share icon and save it to books. Check your device help if you’re not sure how to save a PDF.

  Please check your spam folder if you don’t see the email within a few minutes of ordering and contact me if you don’t have it.

• Can I sell items made using your patterns?

  Sure! You can sell your finished items, but please include a link or reference to me as the designer. A note to say Pattern by Shelley Husband is fine. Thank you.

  Yes! If I ever need to make a change to a pattern, you will be emailed a link to download the latest version.

• Refunds and Exchanges

  There are no refunds for digital products. If a book arrives damaged, please contact me and we’ll sort it out.

  If you have a problem getting your order, please contact me and I will help you.

  If you accidentally purchased the UK version of a pattern instead of the US version (or vice versa), contact me and we’ll sort it out. That’s easy to fix and no bother at all.

• Why am I only allowed to download my pattern 10x times?

  The download is limited to 10x attempts to prevent the illegal sharing of download links. Please do let me know if you have issues though as I understand things happen like internet dropping out mid download. I can reset it for you no drama.
