Hello, knitting friends! What follows is some legal stuff to help protect you and us! This page will go over our affiliate and privacy policies.
Affiliate Information
Here at Sheep & Stitch, I try to be as transparent as possible. I started this website to share knitting patterns, tips and videos that I created. I’ll continue to provide awesome free content as long as I have readers who enjoy it.
I try to monetize this website in a couple of different ways to keep the lights on at Sheep & Stitch HQ and keep producing great content. One of the ways I monetize this site is by participating in affiliate programs.
These programs allow retailers to track where clicks to their websites are coming from. The retailers can then pay their affiliates (in this case, sheepandstitch.com) a commission for any sales resulting from that referral traffic.
Sheepandstitch.com participates in a number of affiliate programs, including: Amazon Associates, LoveKnitting, Skillshare and more. I make an effort to disclose the presence of affiliate links on relevant pages/posts, but it’s safe to assume links on this site are affiliate links.
I never promote anything that I haven’t used personally and/or researched extensively. My goal is to connect you with like-minded companies and high quality products that will benefit you and your knitting.
If you contribute to my affiliate earnings, I really appreciate your support. If you’d prefer not to click on affiliate links, that’s okay too!
