There is a new player in town — Twist Collective. It describes itself as follows:
“The idea of Twist Collective came from our shared desire to bring talented designers and writers together, to give them a beautiful showcase for their work, and pay them fairly. After publication with Twist Collective, designers have the option of using the pattern as we produced it, photography and all. Meanwhile, writers have an explicit right to use their work here as the beginning of something bigger, if they like, or just to work out an idea in a publishing format that allows them their own voice.
Twist Collective will be published quarterly, send monthly newsletters updating subscribers with news and events, and the magazine’s blog will supplement issues with contributor and reader content, updates to the site, and other surprises.”
This is a new venue for knitting designers to showcase their designs. You can buy the patterns on-line for about $7 each. Anyway, there are some very nice designs from some very well known designers. We added a link under “Where we visit.”
This site really looks good. I am excited about it.:D

It’s looking very stylish, isn’t it? I like that you get a number of shots of the project and that they are all very high quality designs. They sure started out with a bang!
