KnitnestKnitnest and your patterns
What Knitnest is
A project tracker for knitters and crocheters. Row counters, a yarn stash, and a place to keep the PDF patterns a maker has bought. Made by an independent developer and entrepreneur, not a funded startup. No pattern store, no AI, no feed.
What we do with a pattern a maker imports
- We store the file exactly as it is, on the maker's own device and in their own iCloud account. We do not have a copy.
- We show it exactly as you wrote it. The maker can highlight the row they are on and write notes on top. The PDF underneath never changes.
- We keep your name and the link to where the pattern came from on the pattern's page, with a "Support the designer" button that opens your page.
What we never do
- We never convert, reformat, summarise, translate, or "simplify" a pattern.
- We never let one maker share an imported pattern with another. There is no sharing feature.
- We never upload patterns to our servers. There are no servers.
- We never use patterns, or anything else a maker imports, to train anything.
- We never sell patterns, show patterns in a catalogue, or scrape them from your site, Ravelry, or YouTube.
If you want nothing to do with us
Email hello@knitnest.app with your name. We will add you to a public exclusion list within three working days, and the app will show "This designer asked not to be listed" instead of the source link on patterns that name you. No form, no account, no proof required.
Copyright
Takedown requests go to the same address. Because we hold no pattern files, a takedown can only concern text or images we publish ourselves, which today is this page.
What we would like from you
Nothing is required. If you find this useful, a line in your pattern footer or newsletter such as "Works in Knitnest" helps a one-person app be found. You get a free lifetime copy either way.
