hi svetlana! i was wondering what happened to the old page of knits4kids.com
i used to visit there for some good craft books.
does this new site have also felt toys or other books than knitting?
The site has simply moved to this new address, it is the same site and the same content. Even the same user accounts.
awesome! thanks for keeping alive this site, it’s the best :)

I f you could help I would be so so very grateful. Just to add Bryce who is my baby ( the youngest of two) will be turning 32.
Thank you so so very much

i’m looking for duplet no 02 and 03 thanks
Duplet series is here Дуплет – Заочная школа рукоделия (series)
thanks, but there are not the second and third copies of Duplet in this series so I’m looking for them.
There are no issues 1, 2, and 3 for Duplet. The magazine was called Вязание крючком in 1997-1998 and was renamed to Duplet starting from issue 4.
Looking at crocheted Nap mats and Pillows part of page 13 did not load fully when scanned in
Re-published in better quality at http://knits4kids.com/collection-en/library/album-view/?aid=39177
hi you have great magazines but i am a little disappointed about the little choices you have in French. I would so love to see more choices of magazines for Pengouin, Phildar and Katia in French as I only know how to knit in French.
Well, we have hundreds of magazines in French already, much more than any other crafts site. If there are issues missing, this is only because no one has shared them. We receive plenty of materials in English from our users, but not in French.
Looking for gypsy cream teddy bear patterns for knitting and dog sweater knitting patterns.
If you have cover of those editions, post them to . More people check that section and not many read comments.
Looking for copies of the magazine “The Art of Crochet”. Does anyone have any they could upload? Thanks in advance.
We already have most issues of this series in Italian http://knits4kids.com/collection-en/library/series-view?aid=10624 and Russian http://knits4kids.com/collection-en/library/series-view?aid=684&l=en
Hopefully, someone will share the English version as well!
Hi, I am looking for the booklet from Annie’s attic -Pretty Purses. Can someone upload? Thanks in advance
A few hours ago I went in choosing online library and then new Arrivels, and there were a lot of new magazines- Now I cant see any of them, i just wonder why ? :-)kind regardsBente
There were technical issues with importing albums from Google Picasa. Now, after 10 days of failures, I was finally able to add about 300 albums, but now I need to create a library entry in the proper series for each of those albums. It takes a while. If you are subscribed to notifications, you will be notified about these magazines as soon as I have processed them.
hi there i have a lot of patterns on picasa how do i get them to go on here please also just saw the complaint what are you going to do hun this is a great site and you have done such a lot of hard work hope everything is fine xxx suz
I have a question ~ in order to upload, does the information need to be scanned, or will pics do? Also, do we just leave them on picassa, so that this site accesses the picassa album? Thank you for your time ~
Picasa albums can be included right away, this whole library is maintained as picasa albums. So if you just send me the picasa links, it is the best option and saves me a lot of time. Scanned pictures are better, of course, but if the photos are of sufficient quality to read the patterns, then it is perfectly fine. Please, send picasa links per email, not as comment. The album is embedded into the website so that the actual links to the albums and the user profiles at google are not revealed. This way, no one can report abuse. Thank you!
Светлана, здравствуйте! Спасибо вам большое за ваш труд! Не знаю, принципиально ли это важно, но решила сообщить, -я сейчас в Online library, здесь в японском разделе Home Craft- все 4 размещённые книги на китайском языке.
Спасибо, это очень важно. Перекинула эту серию в китайский раздел. Хочется, чтобы все было правильно систематизировано. Я японский и китайский совсем не знаю, полагаюсь на информацию на тех сайтах, где нахожу эти ресурсы. Благодарна за всякую подсказку , сообщайте, если еще подобные ошибки найдете!

Its emphasis is on decorative crochet (dollies, lacework, afghans), but there is also women’s clothing and all sorts of items for children, especially babies.
Yesterday the library was enriched by over 100 issues of Paradise Publications (watch here Paradise Publications). It presents exclusive historical doll (Barbie size) garments from Cleopatra’s era to our days, medieval, royal, ball, wedding and other costumes. Just incredible masterpieces in crochet!
DEAR SVETLANA:I FINALLY LOADED THE LIBRARY, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.
Hi Svetlana: I only want to ask you, why can’t I see the new online library? I try and try and I can’t. Thank you
I am puzzled. I can see the library, no problems. Also there are no complaints from other users. It takes a while to load the library overview page due to communicating to picasa web server for importing thousands of covers. But after a few seconds it should be displayed. Try pressing refresh button if the site stops loading. Sorry, I really can’t think of an explanation!
