Knitsy: A Fun New App Review

Fun things in the Knitting World

Our Review of Knitsy: the fun, new iPad app

We love all things knitting and crochet, in fact it’s why we started Chic-a (to make knitting easier and more fun!), so we decided it would be good of us to let you know about a fun new app that we are loving right now! (Aren’t we kind?)

Knitsy.tv

has just released their new app for the iPad, and we think it’s pretty cool. (Grab your free app here!) They are now ranked at #1 on iTunes for the Free Craft and Hobby Apps.

We like things that are #1, and things that are free, so we decided to give our two cents worth.

 

The Knitsy Experience

After you download the app, its not as intuitive as you’d think, it actually loads into your Newsstand app. From there, you’ll have to download the issue (there’s only one currently), which takes a little time (and patience!).

Once inside, however, it is full of great pictures, a wide variety of content, and fun interaction (swipe to navigate through the pages, tap twice to see the menu).

 

The Knitsy Content

Kntisy is full of fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing, whether you like knitting or not. (We love the knitted stools by Claire-Anne O’Brien! And the fact that Ryan Gosling loves to knit.) There are lots of great products featured, an article on “Photo Bombing” (who knew!), and even very tasteful ads (our is on page 16! check it out, let us know what you think!)

 

Our Consensus

Our consensus is that this is a fun and unique magazine format, and a new way to get our reading in about Knitting and Crochet (some of our favorite subjects).

If you haven’t gotten it already, we recommend you do so!

 

Your Opinion Matters

Have you  tried the new Knitsy app? What do you think? Let us know in the comments and share what you’ve learned with the knitting world.

Gadget Tray Review

Chic-a Gadget Tray Review

I always love hearing how people use Chic-a’s knitting accessories, and this review by Still Life With Knitting of our newest product, the Gadget Tray, is no exception.

Here’s the review:

“I love cool little tools, so I was delighted when the lovely Joanna of Chic-a gave me a sample of this clever new product when we were at TNNA.  Called the Gadget Tray, it’s a small square of oilcloth and heavy lining fabric with snaps in the corners.  Fold up the corners and secure the snaps, and you have a handy tray/shallow basket perfect for any number of crafts.  Unsnapped, it lies perfectly flat, making it easy to store away.  The Gadget Tray is available in 3 sizes (3″, 4″, and 5″) and a number of Chic-a’s signature oilcloth prints, and the smallest size has a magnet inside which will keep needles and other small metal objects in place.

The tray came in quite handy when I was working on a beaded knitting project.  The beads were easy to access, didn’t roll all over the place, and the steel crochet hook I used stayed put in the tray thanks to the magnet”.

How Chic-a Began

Chic-a was founded in 2007 by Joanna Reyes. Born out of an idea to create something practical, yet fun and colorful for knitting and crochet projects, Joanna designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. Responding to immediate popularity, Joanna continued to develop products to meet the growing demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.

After 10 wonderful years in business and meeting countless amazing people who have helped make this venture possible, the Chic-a offices are closing their doors. Our products will no longer be manufactured, but you can still find some in retail stores. Click here to find one near you.
