Q: Do you subscribe to any magazines (knitting or otherwise)? Or do you prefer to purchase magazines at the newstand? Do you subscribe online to any knitting magazines/newsletters? What does a knitting magazine need to have to catch your fancy and get you to fork out that well-earned cash?
In the past I have had subscriptions to British Vogue and Private Eye, which I enjoyed at the time. It’s partly knowing that they will mostly end up unread, because if I have some reading time I will choose a novel, and partly because much of the content is available online at my convenience. If I have a train journey on a Friday I will always buy an Economist. It’s like sitting down with a well-informed friend and a cup of tea.
Knitting-wise, I do have a subscription to Yarn Forward (which I tend to forget because issues are so few and far between). I have yet to find a pattern in it that I would knit but I will keep up with the suscription because I like the idea of what it could be and appreciate the multiple yarn suggestions for each pattern. I get the iKnit email newsletter, but only read it occasionally.
