Lovely patterns--I love this magazine
I subscribe to Crochet! Magazine and this Interweave crochet publication is another of my favorite crochet magazines. It has the "quick & simple" project, but also lovely and imaginative patterns--check it out at your local bookstore or go their website: [...] to get info and check out their free pattterns. Many of the patterns are of the vintage patterns modernized vein. I highly recommend this magazine for yourself or as a gift for that special person that loves crochet.

Love this magazine
I recommend this magazine 100%. Also the knitting version. I also advise that this product is better to subscribe going directly through their web site, you'll get a better price offer, and even though this is on special with Amazon (30% off today when I'm writing this review), when I subscribed in the web site, I got my first issue in about three weeks after subscribing.

They always have at least 3 things I want to make!
I am young and rather picky, but I can always find something to please my eye and needle wtih this magazine. The clothing patterns don't look hideous and boxy. I think that Interweave does a good job with it's offerings. I also like "Crochet Today!" by Future Publications. I think that between the both of them I always have more that I want to do than I have time for. IC is a magazine with a focus on patterns with a classic, but trendy and modern appeal. CT! is a fun look at the possibilities of crochet (such as, amigurumi)and an updated twist on older patterns with modern appeal. The two together give me so much to do that I never complete it all, but I love to look. CT! has more small scale projects and IC has a larger selection of non-craft items.

Love of Quilting
So-I am a subscriber to this magazine. When I signed up for it (back in february), they offered a free gift... (still don't know what that is yet..) Today I get this free DVD in the mail of patterns and such. I think 'oh this must be my free gift'... um. no. If you read the fine print, you have so many days to send it back if you don't want it or you'll be charged 13.95 (a savings of over 40%off the regular subscriber price!) Not impressed.

Five Stars
Terrific Magazine, great ideas, plans, etc!

Used to be one of the better ones, now too "modern" for me
I have recently noticed that my quilt mags are all looking the same these days. If one does a cheddar quilt, the others do as well. All have the same icky "modern" colorways in unsettling block layouts. All have the kits available and a certain sameness to the layouts. Have they all been bought by the same conglomerate???

Well, yes. FW Media now owns the MCCalls and Fons & Porter titles, and they have created a consistent look that is not appealing. Used to be we could count on F&P for scrappy traditional projects as well as more modern designs - now it's all modern all the time. Maybe the plan is to merge them all into one mag once they have wrung all the individuality out of them.

All that being said, there are so many very similar quilting mags out there so which gets our limited cash?

I used to go to the magazine stand and count the number of quilt patterns in the magazines that I'd consider making; the one with the highest number went home...

Each issue features original designer patterns for garments and home d cor, ranging from super-simple to challenging. From traditional to cutting edge, plus revealing designer profiles, enlightening explorations of knitting around the world, and in-depth technical articles.


Review :
High marks!
I subscribed to this magazine one year ago. Out of the four issues I've received this year, I've knitted at least one project idea from each issue, and three so far from the fall issue alone (!) and each has turned out beautifully.

I haven't read any other knitting magazines that appeal to me as consistently as this one. I've noticed that each issue has a careful balance of projects, appealing to both genders and to all levels of knitting expertise.

Each issue contains a few "gee-whiz!" type articles in the front with interesting, exotic and sometimes downright weird news about the knitting world (like, who knew that knitting could be considered performance art?).

There's usually an exotic "catch-the-eye" or cutting-edge fashion project, followed by other apparel projects that are always beautiful, visually appealing and frequently wearable, too! Although the magazine does occasionally include items that make me shake my head in disbelief, Interweave...
For exciting design and technique articles, this is a must
I think this is becoming my favorite knitting magazine. Though not as thick as "Knitters", the articles in Interweave Knits are interesting and useful. The editors often take one project, sometimes a small one like hats or mittens, and knit it in many variations. This was also the first magazine in the US to publish patterns by Vivian Hoxbro (Domino Knits) and got everyone going on this addictive form of modular knitting.

My favourite of all knitting magazines
This magazine possesses very aesthetically pleasing design and patterns. I have only been knitting for less than a year, yet I made my first sweater from a pattern from this magazine. The directions are accurate and straightforward.
The only frusterating thing about this magazine is most of the patterns showcase an advanced skill level...

Review :
If your going to read one Beading Magazine this is it
Beading is enjoing a wave of popularity right now and there are more magazines than ever and frankly, I read them all. Beadwork stands above the others in many ways. The quality of the articles is fresh and informative, not the same tired junk recycled over and over. New news in the beading world is never over looked and the patterns are always detailed and sources for materials given. If I could only subscrible to one Beading Magazine Beadwork would definitely fill the bill.

One of the best
Beadwork was my first beading magazine. I like the questions to the contributors and the FAQ sections. It's nice to hear something personal from the artists. Along with projects, there are feature articles on specific mediums or artists that are informative and interesting. Project diagrams are detailed and helpful. Way too many ads however (almost 1/2 of the magazine). My only real complaint is that I only get it 6 times a year.

Advanced Beadwork
This is a magazine that pushes you to create more and better beadwork. It focuses on seed beads, not stringing, and really opens up your mind to the possibilities.
