[tag]Interweave Knits[/tag] [tag]Knitting Daily[/tag] is live. The site is fresh and interesting looking. The Editor, [tag]Sandi Wiseheart[/tag], 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, [tag]Interweave Crochet[/tag] and [tag]Knitscene[/tag]. 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!
