From Amy Solovay, your Guide to Crochet

I have some fantastic news, everyone! We're planning to expand our coverage of the crochet topic to include more patterns. With that in mind, we're currently seeking an experienced crochet pattern designer.

Contributing Writers -- Overview

The official title of the position is "Contributing Writer." The link above takes you to a general overview describing what it means to be a contributing writer with About.com.
Compensation

This is a paid opportunity.

Please note that the 12 article minimum mentioned in the compensation overview will not apply for the crochet topic; we've worked out a different schedule due to the labor intensity of creating crochet patterns. We're asking for a minimum of 4 original patterns per month, plus any necessary supporting materials (including stitch tutorials and definitions of unfamiliar terms, as necessary.)

If you see a topic on this list that catches your eye, just click on it for more specific info about what we're looking for.

If you think this sounds like an opportunity that matches well with your skill set, I encourage you to apply at the URL linked above.
