Great question! Here's the thing we do offer a TON of free video trainings, tutorials, and how-tos on our website and you are most welcome to watch them and learn at no cost.

However, the Knit it Now membership not only gives you access to frustration-free training, HUNDREDS of tutorials, Charting Tools, Quick Wins and Hundreds of customizable Dynamic Patterns.

You save dollars and hours because you don't have to purchase everything separately OR waste time trying to find the right files or get answers when you're stuck on a project.

Offering ALL this support and resources to you requires us to support our team, invest in tools, and of course, spend time to share with you.

We charge a small fee for the membership so we can continue to provide an overwhelm-free, support-filled path to mastering your knitting machine.

A Classroom is a grouping videos, images, courses, concepts, tools, patterns and Quick Wins all focused on a single topic. Classrooms

No, we do not sell DVD's. All of our content is online.

We do not offer an option to print the Learning Library lessons.

• Knit it Now is and on-line application. Being on-line there is no "errata" page. Errors can be quickly corrected and additional information can be included quickly. Your lessons and reference material are never out of date!


• In response to requests, we will include stitch charts and other materials in printable form when we can


• To protect our contributors (and to stay in business) we are constantly on the lookout for those unfortunate few who think that a subscription gives them permission to share Learning Library and pattern content.

When new content is added it is automatically marked "new" for 30 days. If significant changes have been made to a technique or lesson it is marked "Updated" for 30 days.

Knit it Now DOES NOT have a storefront. We are an online resource only

Dynamic pattern generator ... doing the math for you ... very precise formulas. Aren't you glad you don't have to work out all the calculations?

Unlike traditional patterns, we are not limited to fitting a pattern on a single page. We don't need to fit it into the design of a book's pages.

Our goal is to create easy to read patterns without abbreviations and "code" to translate. When appropriate we offer both charts and written instructions.

You don't have to print all the pages! When printing a PDF, you can choose which pages you want to print. You can also navigate our PDF format patterns using Adobe Reader's bookmark and thumbnail features

TO PRINT ONLY THE PAGES YOU WANT:

• In the print dialog, separate the pages you want to print with COMMAS - 1,4,6 will only print pages 1, 4 and 6
• Enter 1-4 and pages 1,2,3 and 4 will print(use a DASH)

Knit it Now patterns are designed as "blueprints"

Use the basic shape and substitute your own stitch pattern. Knit it Now doesn't know what stitch pattern you use, it is doing the math and providing the numbers for you based on YOUR stitch and row gauge. The instructions read "cast on in pattern" and "knit straight in pattern".

Remember in consider stitch multiples when planning your knitting.

Fit of a garment is a personal choice. You may like your sweaters skin tight (and have the figure to pull it off), but others feel they need a bit of "wiggle room" to be comfortable.

Knit it Now Sizing charts indicate the BODY MEASURMENTS that are used to size our garments.

The pattern sizes and dimensions listed are garment FINISHED MEASUREMENTS. The amount of ease is up to you.

We recommend measuring a garment you wear and copy those measurements.

• If you prefer to print your patterns without color, set your printer to "print all colors as GREYSCALE". In the print dialog box for your printer, there is a tab where you can make this change. Don't use the "print all colors as BLACK" setting.


• Save paper and ink. Get familiar with the setting in the print dialog box for your printer. In the print dialog box, you can choose which pages to print. Don't want to print the first page? Enter 2-5 and pages 2,3,4,and 5 only will print. Only need pages 2 and 5? Enter 2,5 and only these 2 pages will print

We're human, sometimes we make mistakes. We're also constantly adding new content, DAK files, videos and educational information.

Instead of having to research errata for patterns you own, Knit it Now alerts you of pattern changes. If we find a major error, we'll send you an email. For updates like an added video, you'll be alerted in your library the next time you view your pattern.

To receive your updated pattern, simply re-size it and the newly generated PDF will contain all changes.

Want to know what changed? Click the link and the notes about updates will display.

"To err is human, to forgive is divine"

Dynamic Patterns are a collection of knitting patterns that are generated mathematically:

• They are designed so the knitter can use any yarn in any gauge. All the math is done for you, so you can get down to what you love ... knitting!
• Each pattern generated is printed in a single garment size, reducing the clutter of unused sizes on the page.
• The patterns can be re-sized as often as you like
• The patterns can be generated multiple times in different gauges.
• Electronic shape and stitch files (DAK) are included when available
• Links to tutorials are included in the pattern where appropriate
