A few months ago, Interweave Press launched a new blog/community for knitters called Knitting Daily. Headed by Sandi Wiseheart, a former managing editor of Interweave Knits, Interweave Crochet, and Knitscene magazines, the site offers daily emails, lots of tips and tricks, and free patterns that are both more complex and of higher quality than the typical free knitting patterns found online. The patterns are available to subscribers only, but subscriptions are free.
The site bills itself as "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." (Two of the weekly emails are filler, but the other three are content-rich.) Topics recently discussed by Wiseheart include blocking and bust darts, and the newest addition to their Free Pattern Library is a stunning Icelandic Lace Shawl that has been unavailable since its original appearance in Interweave's Piecework over a decade ago.
Knitting Daily seems to be a resounding success so far, and Interweave will soon be launching a similar site for beaders called Beading Daily. If that sounds interesting to you, you can sign up now and will be notified when the site is available.
