The Horseshoe Cap free pattern lives on the Spin Off site, so you'll need to sign up for a Spin Off account to access it. It's worth it!

Knitting Daily recognizes my password but I can't download the horseshoe cap. Do I have to purchase a subscription to Spin-Off to get it? I have been buying Spin-Off at borders but don't have a subscription.

The pattern needs a sign-in for Spin-Off and won't take my Knitting Daily sign-on.

Can you put in on the Knitting Daily site?

Thanks.

For Sandra@39 - I was getting the same message, and getting very frustrated as well. I looked under the help/customer service at the top, and they had some FAQs about logging in. They said to delete all the cookies on your web browser program, and then restart your computer. That worked for me, I was able to log in after that.

I am hoping the Fall issue has included ALPACA fiber. There are over 4000 alpaca ranches in the US with the national herd up over 100,000. They are shorn once a year and yield about 5 lbs of prime fiber. Not all ranches send their fiber out to the mini mills for processing and it is available to spinners nationwide. Many have it spun into yarn for knitters to purchase. September is National Alpaca Farm Days, usually the last weekend of the month where alpaca farmers host open houses. Many have farm stores with alpaca fiber and products available. I have heard knitters say that alpaca is lovely to knit with but hard to find. Over 22,000 alpacas live in Ohio alone.

Keep up the good job interweave, without your efforts, we wouldn't have any of the wonderful patterns and resources available to us.

I also was unable to print the hat pattern. I was asked to log in (again!), it said my password was incorrect. I then asked for my password to be emailed to me, it said it had, but nothing has arrived (it's been 15 minutes).

What's up?

I am tired of all the magazines and books that you are promoting ALL the time.

I would like to see more tutorials and patterns, like we used to have with Sandy.

Is it just me, or does every KD newsletter now seem to be a plug to either buy a book or subscribe to a magazine? I miss Sandy! I know she has a weekly blog, but I miss her stories, sense of humor, and teaching, both instructional and by example. I am tired of getting multiple newsletters about the same book or magazine. I don't mind the occasional book review, but to have it followed up every time within the next day or two by another to sell the book seems excessive.

I was unable to printo the pattern for the horseshoe cap, which I thought was lovely. My error message said to contact the administrator. I hope this gets there. Thanks, Willie
