Knitters

I particularly love the format of patterns presented in the magazine--easy to follow, helpful sidebar with all the key info, and well written. They are presented just like in Sally Melville's Knit Stitch and Purl Stitch books, which I love (XRX publishes both the magazine and those books).I find that there are many "how to" articles that help me as an advanced beginner/early intermediate knitter. Again, the instructions are clear, as are the accompanying graphics/photos. I am holding on to the articles that cover more advanced techniques, and will go back to them once I think I'm ready.The only downside to this magazine for me is that there tend to be few patterns that I want to knit. This is purely a matter of taste; I highly recommend going to their website and checking through the archives to get a feel for the patterns. That said, the few I have made from Knitter's have been among my favorite items I've knit. I just made a sweater ("Swing Set") for my picky daughter from last fall's Knitter's, and she adores it. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish, and I love the results.Lastly, I like the fact that this magazine offers a wide range of complexity levels in their patterns. There are always plenty of choices for knitters like me, who aren't up to anything too complex. I've tried Interweave Knits as well, and find that their patterns are mostly way too complex and intricate for me (also, the pattern format is difficult to follow, in my opinion). I only wish the patterns in Knitter's fit better with my personal style more often!

I received my first issue a few weeks ago. There are several patterns in this issue that I will knit, and some maybe's. I buy many knitting magazines in stores, mainly because I want to check them out before I buy. This magazine is a consistant purchase for me, which is why I finally subscribed. (I also enjoy most of Interweave, Vogue Knitting, Rebecca, and Creative Knitting, though I have chosen not to subscribe to them. Usually not enough patterns in them that I would knit.)

I can always find several patterns to make in each issue. I especially enjoy the the spring and summer issues. Living in the mid-south I look for patterns that call for lighter weight yarns. I'm not disappointed with Knitter's.

I'm not a knitter but ordered this for a quilt/textile guild in Tillamook.

I haven't got my magazine yet, but have gotten it in the past, have always enjoyed it, will be so glad to get it, why does it take so long?

For knitters, this is one of the top magazines. Lots of good articles and patterns. I have subscribed for years and watched them grow.

Love The Magazine More Then What I Epected! I Know When I do Have Some Time To knit The Skirts,I Will Love Them.

I have only had 1 issue so far, but i am not overly impressed--it is 'OK'...hopefully some of the next issues will have some more interesting designs and things...
