Designaknit 8 Upgrade

Designaknit 8 Upgrade - If you already own a version of Designaknit, you can upgrade it to Version 8. You also have the option of adding the new HandKnit program to any of the previous versions. Make your selection from the pull-down menu at the bottom of this page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To obtain the Upgrade version, you must return the original CD or Diskette (diskettes with the serial number written on it) to me at the store: Distinctive Knits, 322 Second St., Aurora, IN 47001-1304. Make a photocopy of the disk (ette) before you send it through the mail. An actual physical exchange must be made.
