Knitting Daily is Live
June 19, 2007 |
Interweave Knits Knitting Daily is live. The site is fresh and interesting looking. The Editor, Sandi Wiseheart, is interested, for now it seems, in getting the opinion of the knitters as to what they want in patterns and designs.
As the PR page states: More informative than columns, more fun than posts, more technical than blogs, these thrice-weekly offerings are an interactive invitation to come on in and knit a spell. It’s all that you’d expect from Interweave Press, and just a wee bit more.
One Survey was to tell her what was the perfect sock pattern. The results showed that according to the Sock Survey the perfect sock pattern would be:
- Worked from the cuff down (70% of the votes);
- For a woman (46%);
- Designed in a textured (but not cabled) stitch pattern (22%);
- Worked on 5 dpns (37%); and
- Suitable for a variegated or handpainted yarn (36%).
If this survey is used, the perfect pattern should show up soon at Knitting Daily.
I checked out the free pattern library and noticed that it contains all the online and free patterns from Interweave Knits, Interweave Crochet and Knitscene. Currently the library contains 65 patterns. There is also a stitch guide containing very detailed graphics and good explanations of how to perform the stitch. The graphics are LARGE - love it as I can actually see them clearly!
It seems one of the best magazines for our hobby has built a good internet magazine. Lets hope it continues to grow and thrive and maintain the current focus - knitters!
