Make your Vermont Felted Bag large or small using handpainted or solid yarns, add stripes or decorative buttons. This bag allows knitters to be truly original.

Hello

I will like to see the bag. It is too little the picture. And the pattern do not offer a sample.

Thank you

Marilyn

For those of us who aren't getting Knitting Daily on our PBS stations, it would be nice to have photos on the Fiesta patterns, so we know what they look like. Thanks.

I certainly agree with that. It is always nice to have a picture to refer to when knitting a new pattern. Fiesta~please consider photos to be included on your patterns!  We'd love it!  Thanks for sharing the free patterns. Happy knitting!

Ditto, ditto, ditto.  I just downloaded the Herman Felted bag, but I don't have a clue as to what it looks like.  I don't think I would make it not knowing what the finished product should look like.  I am not a big chance-taker!

Thanks,

Barb

Hello...  Anybody in there?  I would like a picture of the Herman felted bag too!  Unfortunately, my local PBS station is not showing kdtv, but I don't want to miss out on free patterns!

Thanks! You folks rock!

I just downloaded the pattern for the Vermont Felted Bag, and there was a picture.  Maybe it was added after all of the other comments.  Good picture, too.  Can't wait to make it.

Thanks,

I agree that there needs to be a picture with the Herman Felted Bag. I would also like a picture of it. In fact I think there should be a picture with every pattern offered by Knitting Daily TV. Thank you.

I think most of us would rather see pictures of the projects featured in the downloads than the people on the episode. If you scroll through these pages, you see page after page of pictures that essentially blend together because it's two people, posing, from a distance, with little to no useful information in the picture about the subject of the episode. As lovely as the people are, we're here because of the craft; even the 'knitting celebrities' are celebrities because of their handiwork and talent with knitting (or crocheting as the case may be), not because of their smiling faces and fabulous looks -- and that handiwork is what we come to the website to see. You may be getting a lot of downloads (and therefore falsely high stats for your mgmt types who care about such things) right now because you hide the pictures of the projects in the downloads, but isn't it more important (and accurate to your marketing results) to make sure your customers are downloading because they actually want to make the projects you're featuring, rather than because downloading is the only way to find out what the projects are?

I have to agree with the previous comments - I won't start a project unless I can see picture of it... Fiesta, thanks for the free patterns, but please consider posting pics. Thanks

LindaA said:

I wish you wouldn't use the Fiesta patterns.I don't like to make something that I haven't seen. I open the pattern before I download, and if there is no picture, I don't download it. I haven't checked this website for a long time for that very reason. The only reason I checked today is that I wanted to see what a "berret" is. I still don't know, but that's okay. Linda

I have to agree with everyone who was looking for a picture or photo of the felted bag project. (also the swirl beret) I have downloaded the patterns but I suspect unless I get a photo I will eventually delete them - they are no good to me with out the picture. Mary

I was just about to leave a comment and noticed that I was saying the same thing the others did. You need to post a picture of the project right next to the name. I imagine you will see many more of these projects downloaded if you do this.

KatherineH said:

Okay, I downloaded the pattern. No picture. I printed out the pattern because I have that yarn and didn't have a plan for it. Still no picture. Where did you see it???
January 2, 2009 8:17 AM
 

KatherineH said:

Okay, I got it. Vermont Felted Bag has a picture, but Herman Felted Bag does not.

If any of you are members of the ravelry website (www.ravelry.com) you can see the projects if you enter the project name in the pattern page. This will help you see the finished project until fiesta realizes most users would like to see the end result before beginning a project. If you are not a ravelry user, you can request an invitation; takes a few days to get your invitation and then all I can say is good luck. The site is fabulous!! Thanks Knitting Daily for all the wonderful free patterns you share with us; we really appreciate it!!!

I'm really disappointed in this show. The concept has so much promise, but they're trying to cram too many short segments into a 22 minute show! (At least that's the length of most "30 minute" PBS shows.) Knitty Gritty devoted longer segments to one specific project or topic, and Vickie was careful to slow down guests and ask for clarification when necessary. Also, the camera angles were nice and tight. I always learned something, even if the project was a bit too quirky for my taste. It would be nice if Knitting Daily thought more about the "customer": we need to SEE the project or technique at a learning speed, and a segment that lasts longer than 3 minutes -- and, duh, why bother to post a pattern if you're not going to provide a project photo? They probably produce an entire season at once, so any suggestions or comments can't make a difference right away; hopefully we'll see some changes soon. Obviously the producers have the best intentions and no one sets out to fail, so I'll keep tuning in -- but for now I just don't get much out of this show. Fingers crossed...

WOW, LisaE said it all.....first and foremost, we need pictures of every project. LoriL

I, too would like a photo of the Hermann Felted Bag. Without seeing it, I would probably not make it. Thanks. Pat Bradbury patebradbury@hotmail.com

BeckyJ said:

Strange - do they not respond to the comments? I, too, appreciate the free pattern but will not touch it without a picture. I have a difficult enough time even with the picture. I did open several only to find no picture so agree the numbers will be skewed. Please attach pictures of your featured projects. Thank you...

I have never watched the show & never will - it's not available. As for this site - it's been said before and I can only add my name & PLEA to the LOOOOONG list - NO more 'personalities' posing for the camera!!! WE WANT PROJECT PICTURES! When will you read these Comments and understand? I have yet to read a single Comment that says "Please keep the smiley faces!" rkr4cds

Come on Ladies, Lets play nice! The staff at Knitting Daily are doing all that they can, It was the Holidays, give them a break. Its not like they have to give us free patterns. Appreciate what you get and thank them. Maybe if some one could make the pattern and post a picture for them, then everyone could be a bit nicer? Hey everyone at KD, Thank You for the lovely Patterns, Keep up the good work, I appreciate what you have done this year. and thank you for the free patterns. JudyF.

I agree completely. A picture would make all the difference in the world. THe vermont bag has a nice picture and it gives you a much better idea of what you are aiming at. I really enjoy the patterns. Thank you so much. Frenchdragon6

I can only agree with Lisa E who said it all. I will not make something when I have no idea what it looks like. I have downloaded the patterns but will delete them. Sue

Ok ladies, I have a ravelry membership and found a picture of both the Herman felted bag & the Swirl Berret, and have included the picture links: Herman Felted Bag: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/zodiacgrrl/Yarn%20Stuff/hermanfeltedbag_medium.jpg Swirl Berret (though I'd think maybe it should be beret? oh well, that's how it was spelled) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/zodiacgrrl/Yarn%20Stuff/swirlberret_medium.jpg Enjoy! And I'll add thanks for the free patterns, but we all need pictures with them!
