Knitty

Knitty.com is an online knitting magazine based in Toronto and published quarterly since fall 2002.

The magazine was founded by Amy R. Singer^[1] and has been edited by her since its inception. Knitty presents free original knitting patterns, essays, and how-to articles written by professional designers and non-professional contributors. It hosts chat forums and promotes the online knitting community, and several patterns, such as Clapotis^[2] and Fetching,^[3] have experienced great popularity among knitters. It has also been influential in launching the careers of knitwear designers including Ysolda Teague,^[4] Stefanie Japel,^[5] Erica Jackofsky,^[6] Stephen West,^[7] Jillian Moreno,^[8] Cookie A,^[9] Amy Swenson,^[10] Jordana Paige,^[11] Cheryl Niamath^[12] and many others. The often-cited "Judy's Magic Cast On"^[13] and "Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind off"^[14] were first published in Knitty.

Singer has published four knitting-related books.^[15]
