Trying a little something
We [me and many readers] have never really liked the in-pattern navigation in Knitty. Once you're into the pattern pages themselves, all you have are names to guide you to your destination. And if you're like me, you don't always remember the name of the pattern you want to see.
For a variety of reasons, then, we're pulling those links off the current issue. Looking at one pattern, and want to see a different one? Just click "patterns" in the top navbar, OR the word "Patterns" at the top of each pattern page. It'll take you right back to the VERY handy thumbnails, and you'll know in seconds which you want, instead of clicking about aimlessly.
We think this will be a good thing. If it turns out NOT to be, no worries. We can go back to the old system if we need to. Just give it a fair shot and see what you think.
There's so many advantages to being a web-based magazine, and being able to try subtle interface changes like this is one of the biggies. :-)
