"Stitch of the Day" not actually daily?

wandersfar · 10-28-2007, 10:59 AM

I think I read about this here somewhere, so I figured here would be the place to ask...

KnittingDaily has a Stitch of the Day feature that supposedly previews stitch patterns from their books Knit & Purl, Cables & Arans, and Lace & Eyelets. They say they update with a new stitch every day, Mon-Fri, but I've been checking for the last couple weeks, and I always get the bobble stitch, the twists with knots cable, and the falling leaves lace pattern. I've tried logging in and logging out, clearing my cookies and so forth.

Anyone having a similar problem? Do they just not update this feature anymore?

TIA.

I've been getting a new one everyday - maybe you need to refresh the page instead? I've been saving them if you want a copy?

Yeah, I've been getting a different one every day. I'll PM you a list of the stitches I have, and I'd be willing to send you the stitches you're missing, if you want

Thanks, both of you!

Yes, I would love copies of whatever you have. I only have the three I mentioned above...

I don't know what's wrong on my end then. I've refreshed, cleared my cookies, logged in and out... hmm. Thanks for the feedback.

I thought I was the only one not getting the new stitches. Would you mind sending them my way, too?

Did you ever figure out why you couldn't get them?

I'm still at a loss. Tried IE (thought maybe it was a Firefox thing), no luck. Navigated from the home page (instead of using my bookmarks), logged in and out, cleared cookies & private data, reset all my IE settings to default... and I still keep getting the same three sts.

If you still want the patterns, I'll pm you with the ones others sent me (thanks everyone who sent me copies!)

Could it be a problem with a filter at your ISP? I'm not a technical person, but I remember once having and issue and calling my ISP and they checked something said they changed a filter on their computer and voila... no more problem.

Do you mean resetting my IP address? (That's what my ISP tells me to do every time I call.

)

Well, I've tried that, but I'm not sure what you mean by filters? (I'm by no means a technical person myself...)

I think I'm just going to try emailing someone at KnittingDaily. At least now I know I'm not the only one having trouble with the site.
