I, too, must add: I fearfully renewed Knitters, IK and SpinOff thinking I would be poor after my kid's wedding. Now the mags pile up and I feel like an idiot. If I had any sense, Knitters would not have made the cut. One of the reasons I look forward to SpinOff is that a friend tends to submit yarn challenge samples. I now, however, have to go to the website to view these.

I'm still just new enough at what I'm doing that I enjoy some of what's in various magazines, although I'm starting to find that I use them more and more for inspiration, and less for actual patterns, as you said. I tend to fall in and out of interest in particular magazines, and I let my subscriptions lapse as that happens... I have to say in all honesty, that I think I like what Eunnie was doing with her blog better than what she's doing at IK -- I miss her writing!Knitting Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289230533275408343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27068972.post-35474705012659835432008-08-16T23:07:00.000-04:002008-08-16T23:07:00.000-04:00I still like IK (mostly) but Knitters is becoming ...I still like IK (mostly) but Knitters is becoming a big disappointment.<BR/><BR/>How do you feel about Piecework?Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27068972.post-3639767691457718442008-08-15T23:48:00.000-04:002008-08-15T23:48:00.000-04:00Clearly I don't relate to my peers (big surprise t...Clearly I don't relate to my peers (big surprise there..) since I'm not subscribing to the ugly that they are pushing for the 20-30 somethings either... and I am *coughs* thirty-SOMETHING. Personally I'm just jealous now that someone in your comments can actually BUY IK from their grocery store and I wonder what the carp is wrong with our local food marts that since I *have* to go there once a week that at least they could reward me with a knitting magazine from time to time. <BR/>Wait.. what the heck was I saying? Oh yeah.. I usually really like one or two designs at most from the recent IK issues and the rest of it I could forget about. I much prefer the older issues or buying patterns online from the designers themselves.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345829142268909884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27068972.post-47154854153366506262008-08-15T22:39:00.000-04:002008-08-15T22:39:00.000-04:00I agree also about IK.

I need to go out there and pre-test each one. :)<BR/><BR/>American Craft was one expensive and useless magazine, a cheering section for the Hot One of the Month. I suppose they are trying to raise the public's response to "real Art" meaning however they define it. I love Spin off, though don't subscribe, but maybe mine are older? As you know, I'm old, let's face it. =\zippiknits...sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385498014336581117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27068972.post-85519616254732191822008-08-14T21:31:00.000-04:002008-08-14T21:31:00.000-04:00I agree completely about IK.

I also think there is a strain of ugly going around with the 20 and 30 somethings. I looked at IK last night at the grocery store and put it down fast. Nothing, absolutely nothing caught my eye.<BR/><BR/>That said I think Spin Off is actually trying hard to be relevant. The Fall issue will have a spreadsheet documenting many wheels and their attributes.Susan (and SmokeyBlue in spirit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15600529191882073624noreply@blogger.com
