Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there lived a cro--well, we won't say. I've been told that the particular word doesn't go over well with some knitters. Let's just say there lived a chick without two pointy sticks. Her favorite craft used one stick-like object instead of two in order to achieve crafty pieces. And she started a site. A link directory. People liked it. It got big. Really big. Big enough to be mentioned in cool magazines. Time passed. The crafters who didn't "do" the craft with a hook at the end of the stick (and therefore couldn't use the existing link directory) piped up, "Hey, we want a site of our own!" And so the cro--ooops--the chick without sticks...who does, for the record book, know one cast on, the knit stitch, and one cast off (let's be completely fair to her) said: "Why not? Happy to oblige. Meet Knitting Pattern Central." People liked it. It got big. (5,000 unique visitors a day big) Maybe someday it will be mentioned in cool magazines too. (Meanwhile, everyone is most likely whispering that the owner of KPC has got to be taught how to knit!) Anyone who would like to donate to KPC as a “thank you” for the many hours a week spent keeping this site operational may do so below. (The amount is up to you; even very small contributions are much appreciated.) |
