2.0 out of 5 stars Not a pattern a day, October 19, 2009

This calendar is not what I expected. First of all, the pages are not bound together in any way, they are loose sheets. Second of all there is not one page per day--2 or 3 days are on each sheet. So you do not get 365 patterns, you get over 100, by their claim. Finally, the patterns are spread over several pages as well.

Ok, so loose-leaf patterns that you can carry around with you might be a cute idea. But I found many of the patterns rather unappealing. As someone else said, you can find patterns like this for free on the internet easily. I might knit one or two of these, at most. What I expected, and what I would like to see, was a collection of small items with simple instructions--I'm not really looking for sweaters in a page a day calendar. Keep it simple, and keep it 365 pages for 365 days!

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, October 16, 2009

This calendar is pretty useless, in my opinion. Most of the patterns are those already available elsewhere for FREE on the Internet, so the patterns aren't a good reason to buy this calendar. The pages don't have enough white space to actually use as a calendar, so that's not a good reason to get this product. And really -- a simple pattern for a scarf or a pair of socks is spread across three or more pages?? I think that was used as a filler because they didn't have enough "real" patterns.

This is my third year of buying the Knitting Calendar. I love it -- I have made several of the patterns each year and then let friends sort through the ones I don't want. Something to look forward to each day on my desk!
