Oh, never mind. It does work, as long as you download it in Internet Explorer, NOT Firefox!

I never understand why people have such a problem downloading. I always make sure I'm logged in first, and I've never had a single issue with Firefox. Thank you for the beautiful beautiful patterns! They're absolutely stunning. I can't wait to delve into the cardi.

I have Firefox on a Mac. I'm logged in. I can't download the PDFs. I reboot the computer, and still can't download. I'm glad it works for others, but some of us do have problems. Frequently here too.

The problem may be with an Add-On on Firefox called "PDF Download." If you have that add-on, either disable it or choose to ignore it and your problems should be over. I had the same problem until I disabled the add-on and then then problem disappeared and I was able to download the patterns. Hope that helps.

I have never knit lace, but have been thinking lately that I'd like to try. I was pleased to get your e-mail today, offering these patterns for FREE! I do appreciate all the quality FREE patterns you make available to your readers. God bless you!

Very pretty patterns! I had no problems on Firefox either, although I keep it and Explorer both open all the time....they seem to have a mind of their own, and what works on one will only work on the other on a different day!

I too have had problems. Try this Firefox users: you need to choose button #4 (bypass PDF download) from the dialog that comes up when you start the download, and it will work. I'm using FF 3.08 and the first 3 button choices confuse the download as there is extra code attached to the PDF download. OR, you can change your 'download PDF' settings. Go to TOOLS>PDF DOWNLOAD OPTIONS choose the OPENING PDF 'tab' and then choose "use PDF plugin". Again, I'm using FF 3.08, the latest version, and this is accurate. Don't know about different version. Good luck!

Firefox pdf download works fine for me on my PC. The thing that drives me nuts is the circular approach to doing the download. Link in the email goes to signup goes to login goes to general page goes to download link and FINALLY to download. Very nice patterns and thank you.

Something's wrong with the login redirect. If you click the pattern and are not logged in, you get taken to a login page. Once you log in, nothing happens. You are on a page with a header and footer but no content. The expected behavior would be to either go directly to the download or at least to the page you started from before starting the process.

I only printed the Arrowhead lace pattern scarf, but the printer colored in the white areas blue, so the stitch detail is barely visible. No trouble downloading with Adobe, however calling a pattern "Easy", then marking the skill level as Intermediate is not my idea of easy> Otherwise all patterns are lovely!

Hi I'm in Australia. My suggestion re: download problems is that it could simply be a combination of Internet Provider+Browser+(and this is a big PLUS) the setup of individual computers. There are so many variables in IT that it could be ... ANYTHING!!! If it really is a huge problem, get it checked by somebody that REALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING ie. a technician. :) :) :) No, I'm not a tech, but I do work with IT. My thanks as well for the patterns!!

If you have a Mac and are trying to download through firefox and have problems...when you are given the choice of whether to open the file, click "bypass PDF download". This will disable the PDF download add-on in Firefox. I promise, it worked for me!!!

It's so cold on metro Chicago this weekend (just past April Fool's Day!!!) that I'm beginning the wristlets/fingerless gloves TODAY!! Thank You! Beautiful Patts as usual - the Sideways Spencer was a huge hit for our 17 yo graddau's B'day! As to Logging In before downloading, I know of no other way to receive these so I agree; one must register and they then download onto the Desktop. From there it's easy to open the PDFs. I'm on a Mac and have Firefox but still use Safari....

I have always had problems with pdf downloads from this site because of the login code attached to the file, both in Firefox and in IE. Claudia's comment above was the answer, once I followed her instructions to reconfigure the PDF download option I can now download in either program with no troubles. Thanks Claudia!

Thanks much for the sock patterns. I thought you'd like to know I'm in the process of knitting the Seduction socks by Ann Budd. I really like Ann's instructions. I'm using an inexpensive Madelinetosh yarn rather than the beautiful Blue Moon yarn she used. The instructions are so clear and concise that I have no difficulty understanding them. Love you.

Thank you for the beautiful variety of free patterns. I am a new knitter. It is really nice to be able to try some of the patterns out before buying another book of patterns that I may or may not make. I am much more likely to buy a book when I have a better idea of the value of the patterns to me. Thank you.

Can the gauge on the Spectrum Scarf be correct? It says 112 stitches = 4 inches. I was thinking of substituting yarn but need the correct gauge. Thanks!

About those users who have trouble with downloads - when was the last time you updated your Adobe? Just go to www.adobe.com and download the latest version of Adobe Reader for free. I use both Mac & Vista (on my laptop) to download and have no problems - I use Firefox exclusively on both computers. A HUGE thank-you to Knitting Daily for the gorgeous patterns! Us reluctant (read: all thumbs) lace knitters appreciate a simple place to start! Yippee!!

No probs with the download. Nice lace pattern compilation. Maybe you could include some other patterns also which havent been shown as free patterns. As for this compilation only the tailored scallops cardigan is a new addition to free patterns list, rest all have existed in the free pattern domain.

I'm having problems downloading the file too and I'm logged in for sure! It's not the first time this happens but it usually allows me to save the document and then when I open it it's fine, not this time, it's corrupted according to Firefox.... Thanks for these offers, I'm sad I'm unable to download them.

Make sure that you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed in your computer before you download these patterns. You can get the latest version here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO I hear there is also a work in progress to make sure that the printing of page 20 works correctly. Hopefully there will be an update to that very soon. For the readers who are having problems keeping logged on, try clicking the "remember me" box right below your username and password before you click "Sign in". As long as your computer is set up to remember cookies, and not erase your internet browsing history each time you close your broswer, then you should be able to simply open up to www.knittingdaily.com and be automatically logged in each time. It works for me, so I know it will work for you all! Free patterns really are great, especially when they come from Sandi!!

Thank you so much for these lace patterns. I have just finished knitting 2 pair of lace fingerless gloves and was thinking of doing another pair. I think I'll try the pattern included herewith. Maybe this pair for the bride--I'll make them longer on the forearm than i have for the bridesmaids. (Also, i had no trouble with downloading using Firefox; I am sorry that some do, however).

IE7 here and no problems at all in downloading these lovely free patterns. I'm constantly amazed at the amount of advice and generousity of spirit in passing on these patterns. As I'm llving in the UK, sometimes there is a small problem with finding substitute yarns but usually overcome with a quick rummage on Ebay or Google search to find a supplier. Plus I spin a lot a lot of my yarn but have always been able to come up with one of your patterns to fit my wildly varying swatches. Very many thanks for your kindness in publishing your freebies and for the friendly advice.
