| Q.
How often is Knitty published?
A. We publish four times a year. September, December, April,
July. To stay in touch and always get an e-mail notice the
moment the new issue is ready, join the Knittyreader list
using the box above.
Q. Why can't I click on the "surprise"
links
or
When will the surprises be up?
A. A little while after each issue is published [no,
we're not telling...it's a surprise!], we add a surprise
pattern or two. So if the link isn't active, the surprise
isn't ready for you yet. To stay in touch and always get
an e-mail notice when the surprise is ready, join the Knittyreader
list using the box above. We only send out a few messages
each year.
Q. How can I print your patterns?
A. Our website is intentionally designed without frames
so that printing is simple. All our patterns are on one
page for your convenience. Just select PRINT from your computer's
menu. If you don't want to use up your colored ink, print
in black & white/greyscale.
If you're having trouble with text
getting cut off on the right side, we've found that
printing in landscape orientation solves this.
And remember -- please print out only
ONE copy for your personal use. Thanks.
Q. Where can I find errata for
a specific pattern?
A. To keep things simple, errors are corrected directly
in each pattern, and highlighted in
bright pink so they stand out. If you find an error
in a pattern, please contact the designer at the e-mail
address at the bottom of their pattern. The designer will
contact Knitty and let us know about it so we can fix it.
Q. Your e-mail links don't work
for me.
A. All the e-mail links in Knitty are javascript encoded
to fight spam. You will need to turn javascript on in your
web browser for the e-mail links to work.
Q. Your website looks funny -
things are covering up other things.
A. You should use the most current web browser your computer
will permit.
Q. I'm looking for a specific
pattern. How can I find it?
A. Two ways. One -- click the "Archive" button
at the top of this page. A full listing of all patterns
can be found there. Or search using our search box, also
listed on our Archive page.
Q. Knitty's patterns are free?
Really?
A. Yes, they're free for your personal, individual use.
You may print out a copy to work with. But you may not print
out multiple copies, you may not reformat the pattern for
commercial use, and you may not sell them or items made
FROM Knitty patterns. The copyright for each pattern and
article belongs to the designer or author. Any usage beyond
what's mentioned here must be negotiated with the designer
or author.
Q. I own a yarn shop and would
love to offer Knitty patterns to my customers. What can
I do?
A. Please visit this page for some
great ideas that abide by copyright AND support both Knitty
and our designers.
