I recently learned that the editor of Magknits, the online magazine offering free knitting patterns each month; has shut down the website along with hundreds of FREE knitting patterns.

I am one of the thousands of knitters out there who no longer have access to my favourite patterns.

I noticed Lien posted her design here.
