Zaneteknits Reviews 132

I had the pleasure of test knitting the Rhinebeck Memories sock pattern and it was also my first time knitting one of Zanete’s patterns and I must say the level of thought and detail that went into the writing of the pattern was wonderful! All the techniques used in the pattern were explained well and it was super helpful to have the additional video tutorials. The actual knitting of the object was a magical experience because you get to see Zanete’s beautiful design come to life right before your eyes! During the test knit Zanete has been very responsive and communicative. I highly recommend knitting this designer’s patterns.

I asked for help in understanding a pattern and the response was very quick. I really enjoy the sock patterns by Zaneteknit.

Zanete's designs are so well thought of, they have many techniques which challenge me, but I learn so much from them! I love how clear the instructions are and how supportive she is when needed. I hope I get to test knit for Zanete again because it has been a fantastic experience!

Beautiful knitting patterns - explained well. Fantastic communication enquiry was well explained thank you so much x

Zanete’s patterns and supporting materials are wonderful. Today I had a problem with a link, I thought! I emailed her and got a response straight away. Turned out there was no problem at her end, but at mine. Totally impressed.

This is a great company. All communication is fast, friendly and instructive. The patterns are very well designed with the knitter in mind- nice new techniques to try, all with clear instructions and explanatory videos, yarn requirements are accurate. Up until now I have made three garments and bought several more- I know that I can trust the instructions and that it is worth following the useful tips given within them.
One particularly nice thing is the positive energy and enthusiasm shown along with great professionalism. I remember watching the first video of Zanete, describing how she started up the business, and thinking " what a nice woman, what a nice business model." The more I know, the more strongly I feel this to be true. So if you want to support small artisans, this is a definite recommendation.

She responds quickly to emails and is great at answering questions. I’m very excited to be knitting this pattern. Can’t wait to see the finished result.

I sent an email with a question and received a very friendly reply immediately. Now that’s what I call great service! Your instructions are also very clear and easy to understand.

I love knitting but I’m not too happy with computers or Internet accessing so when I can cause a problem with getting the charts in a pattern a quick email problem solved and it didn’t even take an hour. Excellent response. Excellent experience and beautiful knitting thank you.

Test knitted Zanete’s Yoke Meditation Series 7 sweater. What a fun pattern! And such interesting techniques: Japanese short rows (love), ladderback jacquard (interesting but need more practice), and a professional neckband (will definitely choose this again .. looks so lovely).

I’ve knit Zanete's patterns before so knew what to expect but still impressed by the thoroughness of the written pattern, the techniques explored, the options available, and of course, the design itself. Not to mention videos to follow to watch Zanete show first-hand the techniques in both continental and English knitting styles.

Looking forward to knitting more of Zanete’s patterns!

I did a test knit for Zanete's Yoke Meditation Series No. 7 sweater pattern. The pattern was well written and included three new techniques that were fun to learn. She also includes videos in her patterns to help those who need a visual demonstration rather than just the written word. She also uses Slack for communication when test knitting so that you can ask questions, get help, or offer suggestions. It was a great tool to use for this test knit. I would definitely knit another one of her patterns and also do a test knit again if I were selected. This was a delight to knit!

I love Zanete's patterns whether it be socks or sweaters. I have quite a few of her patterns. While I have not knit a sweater top-down before I wanted to try it. I bought the "Finer Pagen Sky" pattern using fingering wt. yarn. I had a little trouble with a couple of things starting with the wrap & turns. I contacted Zaneteknits asking my questions. Zaneteknits answered me promptly and "talked" me through it. Then, I needed help with the chart (which I don't often knit from charts either), again, she got back to me twice in one day, also sending me a couple of great slow-motion links to show me how the increases are done. VERY helpful to me. I love the pattern and am excited to sit happily knitting away. Once this sweater is done, I plan on knitting another of Zanete's patterns.

I bought the pattern for the LAYAN cardigan, but had problems getting the Danish version. I wrote to the designer, who quickly sent me a link to the Danish version. Super good help and service.

My first test knit was a fantastic experience! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to knit this gorgeous cardigan. The test knit was organized really well. Communication was great and never annoying. I had to wait for yarn to arrive and started 3 weeks late. I missed the deadline by a week, but fortunately completed the cardigan before the pattern publishing date. Her designs are gorgeous - I've been knitting another already. Highly recommend her patterns. You will not be disappointed.

I have purchased and made many of their patterns, well written and concise, I have also been a test knitter for this company.
The patterns are real and lovely.

Knitting of Layan Cardigan from Zanteknits was a great experience for me.
First of all, because it was my very first time to knit a cardigan and the pattern was easy and clear to follow. Secondly the proposed yarn was a great idea, it is so soft and nice to knit moreover it looks beautiful.

I knitted some of Zanete designs.All patterns were original, nice and easy to knit due to many useful explanations and visual materials.Moreover, Zanete creates modern, fashionable designs in stranded colour work technique.

I adore patterns of Zanete for their beauty, creativity and authenticity. The instructions ate pure joy to work with: everything arranged logically, concise, and, moreover, very well designed! Each technique used supported with text and video description. I think, even the beginner can enjoy having one Zanete models by knitting with her instructions.

I am so obsessed with Zaneteknits! Every single one of her patterns is incredibly beautiful and so thoughtfully designed. Her patterns are easy to follow and she includes links to tutorials for most techniques used in the pattern. She also includes multiple different charts in her colorwork patterns so you don’t have to invert them if you’re using a light main color when she used a dark.

If I had to pick one designer and I could only knit their patterns for the rest of my life, Zaneteknits would be who I would choose, hands down.
