New user here, I just stumbled across this. Are there alternatives for knitting patterns? How can I gain coins besides the tasks? The subscription to youtube thing doesnt work
Seconding what everyone else here has said. What I'd recommend is going to a forum of a craft, sorting by post time and then working through and commenting on each new thread. Take frequent breaks and try to spread it out over as much time as you can. It's tedious, but eventually you'll get there!
Also, I'd really recommend doing the tasks (under my center, on the top right hand corner). Once an hour there are two "hourly bonus" things you can click to get ~30 coins. There's also an app you can install that you watch 10 ads on to get 500 coins.
