Depends on what you are looking for in a knitting mag
I have been a long time subscriber to Vogue Knitting, it was one of the few US knitting magazines that had really fashionable knitting patterns. I am from Germany, where there are lots of knitting magazines with really chic patterns, I missed that when I moved to the US. However, I find that the content in Vogue Knitting really fluctuated - sometimes it was packed with great designs, sometimes, it was just too far out and there wasn't a single pattern I wanted to knit. I stopped my subscription for a while. Then the editor changed and now the magazine is somewhere in the middle - not too funky, yet still chic and fun. I still enjoy reading it every once in a while.
After having my daughter, I changed my subscription to Family Circle Easy Knitting, since Vogue Knitting does not carry any patterns for babies or kids, which I really find a shame. I even wrote a letter to the editor saying that this was a major omission. Especially because it is very hard to find chic and elegant kids knits in magazines - not those acrylic yarn patterns with bears on them! The German magazines do a great job of having some unique, but still fun kids designs.
If you want a very trendy knitting magazine that uses a whole range of yarns (some very expensive), then Vogue Knitting is the magazine for you. If you are looking for elegant knits that are more functional, but still challenging, I would suggest Interweave Knits and Rebecca (English version of a German magazine), both carry some really interesting and challenging patterns. If you have kids, there isn't much out there, I would suggest Family Circle Easy Knitting, also Rebecca does a kids issue once a year, which should not be missed!
One of the best
I learned to knit as a young girl and then life interfered and I dropped out of the craft. About 10 years ago, I picked up a copy of VK and got hooked all over again. The styles in this publication are chic, stylish, and adaptable. Most are for clothing and accessories without the ubiquitous afghan designs. The directions are clear and only once have I encountered an error. The articles are interesting, informative, and often inspire creativity and exploration. As soon as the latest issue hits the mailbox, I'm into it from cover to cover. There are 10 years of issues catalogued in my bookshelf and I refer to them often. A great resource for any knitter.
I love this magazine
What a great magazine - its like receiving a small book of knitting patterns every few months - most of which are totally wearable. I really feel this mag. rides the line between fashionable and practical. I have gotten 4 issues so far and have knit 1 or more items out of each issue. The directions could use a bit more description - sometimes the designers think you can read their minds, but nothing a trip to the geniuses at the yarn store won't fix. There are also interesting articles about things like merino sheep - something you wouldn't think was interesting, but then you start reading it and can't put it down.
Love the book reviews and ads - I ordered a DVD from one of the ads and am so, so happy with it. I also bought a book after reading the review and have been enjoying it.
Keep in mind that these are "fashion models" and really try to picture your body in the item before you go spending a lot of time on a fitted tank that will make you look massive.
I got this as a gift and will definitely be renewing my subscription when it ends.
