The new issue of Vogue Knitting
The new issue of Vogue Knitting arrived a few days ago. I subscribed to this magazine to support a fundraiser at the kids' school.
While it's fun to browse through the magazine, I doubt that I would ever knit most of the patterns. If you have a copy, check out the vest thing on page 77 (pattern 11.) It's like 70's shag carpeting gone bad, I don't know... Or the shrug thing on page 97 (pattern 32.) I would be afraid of public ridicule if I wore this outside my home. On the other hand, the two patterns on pp. 84-85 (patterns 18 and 19) are just beautiful, and I'm seriously considering no. 19.
I find that I'm as interested in the advertisements as I am in articles, which isn't the case with other magazines I read. This issue, the cover is matte instead of glossy, which I think makes it a more comfortable magazine to hold in your hands.
Oh, and I don't really need a celebrity on the cover of a knitting magazine. The article about Daryl "I don't even know how to purl" Hannah was pretty worthless.
