These workshops exist at an intersection between two business models: live virtual workshops, and tutorial videos. After a couple of emails and some soul-searching, I decided to remove the expiration date on the workshop recordings. Previously, I was offering recordings of workshops for a year, which is generous for recordings of a workshop you took, but in the context of tutorial videos you purchased (think Craftsy, Teachable, etc), somewhat less than generous. It makes little sense to treat the two things differently, so I opted for the more generous option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most places where you buy access to video workshop recordings offer &#8220;lifetime access&#8221;. I&#8217;m not exactly doing that, but I will guarantee access as long as <a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fallingblox Designs<\/a> and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/buildingblox\/\" target=\"_blank\">BuildingBlox<\/a> virtual workshops last. Given that I have no plans to retire either my main knitting design business or my virtual workshop platform, this will have to suffice for &#8220;lifetime access&#8221;.
