I wonder if Rebecca knows another door to try with them
She seemed to have had a great experience getting her pattern done.
Maybe it was all a terrible misuderstanding⦠but to repeatedly not contact you when you kept asking for input? Bummer.
Hope it doesnāt color your view of ordering from them. I havenāt tried myself, itās one of my to-doās.
I donāt think that non-response from 3 or 4 emails and one handwritten letter could be ājustā an oversight, unfortunately.
Ahhhh well, I donāt want to sit here trash talking knitpicks, I know so many of you love them. Their shipping to Canada prevents me from ordering from them anyways, this just puts the icing on the cake, so to speak.
Onwards and upwardsā¦
[size=1]But feel free to send protesting emails to them on my behalf, might get me some free stuff!! JUST KIDDING OF COURSEā¦althoughā¦[/size]
When they solicit for submissions, they are asking you to enter into a business transaction. The least they can do is respond to your very reasonable request for information. We all will still order from Knitpicks, no one has beat their prices, but itās good to know that this has happened in case someone else runs into trouble. Donāt feel funny about posting this kinda stuff. Besides, we like to defend our friends!
Ugh, Iām so sorry about that. ((((hugs)))) They should treat you better.
I have to say, this doesnāt surprise me, though, knowing what I know about them ā they ripped off the pattern of a friend of mine and tried to pass it off as an original design after she refused to consent to give them exclusive rights.
And I wonāt get into the yarn. I know yāall love it. But thatās only because you havenāt tried the good stuff yet.
Theyāre not a www.knittingpatterncentral.com , if thatās what youāre thinking. Just go over to the pattern central forum on this website and youāll find them there. Oh wait, Iāll go find them for youā¦
Like everyone else, I cannot believe you didnāt hear back on those patterns. Those socks are fantastic!
Not that it will make you feel any better, but I tried submitting designs to them also and got nowhereā¦
Iāll still buy their yarn though
