PATTERN SUPPORT
WAYS TO GET SUPPORT
Hey there Westknitters! Do you ever get stuck on one of my patterns and need a little help? It happens!
Lots of support and help can be found on my Ravelry Group forums, where you will find a forum set up for most of my popular patterns. You'll also find some lovely people to geek out about knitting with there! You can also find tips, tricks & tutorials at Stephen West on Youtube
My older patterns have been knit enough times that they are generally error-free. But sometimes new patterns can have small errors, despite being tested and tech edited. Sometimes new patterns have small errors that are relatively insignificant. Heck, I'm human too! If you have a question that you otherwise can't find an answer to, please get in touch with us and we'll do our very best to help!
The email is support@westknits.com for inquiries relating to knitting any Stephen West pattern.
