Hello, and welcome to Handknit Heroes! Our launch is just 1 week away, and we’re all very excited about how it’s all turned out!

Sneak Peek Update

We ran into a couple of delays, so the Sneak Peek issues will go out early next week. If you signed up and aren’t chosen for the Sneak Peek, don’t take it personally and don’t despair– you can still ask for Handknit Heroes at your local yarn shop, or subscribe to an annual subscription. We accept PayPal, credit cards, checks, and money orders.

Join Us on Ravelry

Naturally, Ravelry is one of our favorite places to hang out. We have a wonderful group for Handknit Heroes and we hope you’ll consider yourself invited to join!

Thanks to the International Crowd

I wanted to give a huge round of applause to everyone from outside the US and Canada. Thanks to the overwhelming number of Sneak Peek requests we received from such great locations as Australia, the UK, Sweden, and Germany, we’ve opened our market. If the U.S. postal service can deliver to your country, you can get Handknit Heroes, too!

Welcome, Partners

We’re also welcoming retailer, distributor, and advertiser queries through the website, from anywhere in the world.

If you’re a pattern designer interested in submitting a pattern, please check out our pattern guidelines and consider sending in a proposal. If you already sent one in, thank you and thank you again. We will get in touch with you after January 21st with a reply. We’ve been focusing on getting the current issue ready to go and ironing out the bugs in the system. We really appreciate your patience and your creativity, and encourage you to visit the website for details and query/contact form.
