A knitting magazine | Knit.1 mag
Today I bought a new magazine called Knit.1 from Vogue Knitting. Yes, there’s a new mag in town, and it’s about knitting for goodness sake!
I think I will really like it, it’s young and very colorful, with a lot of cool stuff to knit inside.
When I came home and searched the Internet I could only find what Knit Happens.net’s Store wrote, and I agree that it’s a pity they’ve only used yarns from one brand, Lion brand. Also, the site of Knit.1 is very boring right now [knit1.com is no longer online]. (At the forum of Knitters review [was at www.knittersreview.com] I found a few other’s opinions about the Knit.1 mag).
I was looking for a copy of Interweave Knits (coz I’ve never seen it), but they don’t sell that magazine here in Sweden. It’s a good thing that both Knitty.com and Crochet me are online magazines that you don’t have to pay for! Hooray for them!
You might also want to check out these from the Studio iHanna Shop
I just recieved Knit1 too (my wonderful boyfriend bought a subscription for me!), and I like it, although I don’t understand why they only use Lion Brand…
Eagerly expecting no 2.
Hey! I commented on it too!
And I also mention that the reason why they use Lion Brand yarns only, is that it is a joint venture between Vogue Knitting and Lion Brand. In other words, Lion Brand pays for it.
I’m perplexed that they sell it in Sweden.
I have the same problem… I live in Italy and the only one magazine which shows young and amazing patterns uses a kind of yarn that I can’t find.
However it’s hard to find out foreign knitting magazines or books because this is not a common hobby here.
Internet helps me a lot.
Hmmm, how strange to not be able to get Interweave overseas. Can you subscribe?! If you’d really like one, let me know. I would be happy to send one your way. Think of it as a way to spread Christmas Cheer!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
