I wish your photographer would use more light. We don't want "artsy" photos; we'd like to see the details of the featured item. When half of the garment is in shadow (see Himalayan vest above), it's impossible to see that half.

Also, dark-colored garments are very hard to see in your photos.

There is some sort of glitch with your new format set-up. I have KD bookmarked in my computer. Sometimes when I click it, I am on an already signed-in page. No problems. But sometimes it is a page asking me to sign in. It ALWAYS says my password is not good, and then I have to click the "I FORGOT" link and wait for a new link to show up in my inbox. Then it accepts my "new" password (which I have NEVER changed) and it lets me in. But the next time I try to sign in, I have to go thru the same riggamarole. Can you fix this problem? I'm willing to bet you are losing readers because of the difficulty getting signed in every time. I'm sorry to write about it in the blog, but I couldn't find another place to let anyone know about the issue. It began when your page format changed. :o( Can you help?

Is Knitting Daily still, daily? Today I received the first email from Knitting Daily in weeks, the ad to subscribe to Piecework. This was after sending a email to IP asking about KD. So I came here looking for evidence that the old Knitting Daily that I loved to find in my email still exists, and it appears you have been writing and emailing, just not to me.

I hope I'm back in your good graces now and on the mailing list.

Oh, that Canopy Cardigan is lovely! I can see it takes a crisp yarn to show off the details in the edge knitting, hence the viscose in the blend. Just lovely.

I also would like to see a wider range of sizes. If you want to know what sizes your readers want - ask what size they would knit if it was available. The results should give pretty clear indication of what sizes to request from your designers.

I'd like to know how you choose the names for the garments. Reticella vest? Matriyosha stole? Kimono socks?

Please expand the size range of patterns in Knitscene! Knits has increased their ranges a bit, how about you guys! Many of the patterns featured wouldn't fit the average woman, let alone a plus sized gal. Yeah - yeah a few issues ago you ran the raglan pattern for plus sizes. Would that answer be good enough if it were twisted into, "Well we ran one pattern in size six last year."

This was hard - there were a couple more I could have voted for, including the guy's sweater. I selfishly only picked sweaters I would make for me!

I voted for my 'maybes'.

Himalayan Vest because it is really different! As I mentioned earlier, I also love this yarn.
