INTRODUCTION
Knittyguild™ FAQ
(FAQ updated November 2025) Q. I can't/don't want to pay. Can I still read Knitty?
Q. What is Knittyguild?
A: Knittyguild is the home of Knitty readers on the web, housed at Patreon. In exchange for their financial support at whatever level feels right to them, members of Knittyguild receive rewards and get to connect with the rest of the guild.
Q. When will you bill me for my pledge?
A: You're charged for your monthly pledge amount the day you join, and then again monthly on that same date. Please note that Patreon bills pledges to Knitty in USD.
Q. If you get enough support, will you remove advertising?
A. Knitty exists for two main reasons: to help find and promote new and existing knitting design talent and to support the knitting and fibercraft industry. A huge part of what we enjoy as knitters are the yarn, books, tools, bags and knitwear/crochet designs that are created for our benefit. We consider the ads on our pages an essential, fundamental part of our mission, and we very much enjoy seeing what our advertisers have to offer! Giving manufacturers, designers, retailers and publishers an affordable place to share their products with the knitting community is important to us, and we do not plan to eliminate that vital platform of communication.
Q. Can I make a one-time donation instead of joining Knittyguild?
A. Absolutely! Thank you! But Knittyguild doesn't have a place for that, so we've set something up using Stripe, the payment processor we use. Use any credit card! Use this link to contribute.
If sending a check is more your style, here's our address:

Thank you!
Q. How can I send you a donation monthly or per issue without being part of the Knittyguild.
A. Wow! Thank you! We've set up Paypal subscriptions that allow you to pay per-issue in the amount of your choice. THANK YOU for your support!
Q. I signed up for a specific tier at Knittyguild, but would like to change to a different one. Can I?
A. Yes, you can change your tier level at any time! This page gives easy instructions.
A. Using Patreon for our funding is a whole new way of existing for Knitty. In order to keep it working well, we need to make adjustments to it as we go. Our intention is only to improve Knittyguild. Remember, you’ll have access to the Knittyguild News feed to get info directly from us, and you can talk to us there and tell us what you think, about Knittyguild or Knitty itself, at any time!
