About Knitty
Goals
Update: March 2023 Thanks to the support of our Patrons, we are still here. As as result of the first burst of Patron funding in late 2015, we were able to give our staff and contributors a long-overdue raise to a much fairer level of compensation, which we continue to be able to maintain. In March 2023, Patrons voted to forego tangible rewards in order to funnel an additional $800 to Knitty Designer fees.
We were also able to launch (in our First Fall 2016 issue) a brand-new version of the Knitty site, designed to work with smartphones and tablets of all sizes. This Responsive redesign was a major overhaul of the site, and our Patrons' support made it possible.
Soon after, we reduced our ad prices and increased ad sizes to help small fiber businesses, and our prices have stayed low ever since. And in 2020, when the world shut down due to the pandemic, we were able to reduce our Bizcard prices from $100 per issue to $10, so almost everyone can afford to share their wares and services with our readers.
We couldn't have done this without our Patrons. At 3000 Patrons, we're able to pay our contributors and staff, and cover our bills and expenses. At 4000 Patrons, we would be able to give our contributors (the designers who create the patterns we publish) and Tech Editors a noticeably larger fee, and in 2023, that's our primary goal.
However, if funding decreases, we will not be able to continue to publish Knitty. If you're not yet a Patron, please consider joining us! If you are a Patron, we need your support to continue and hope you will stay with us.
Patrons are the reason we're still here right now.
