Interweave Knits Review
I used to be just a book and Vogue Knitting afficionado, but my local yarn store had a copy of Knits and I was hooked. The patterns are great - fashionable, current, but not super trendy, hip, in all skill sets and many different types (like cardis, socks, hats, etc.). They also appeal to a wide span of ages, which is very useful since I knit for ages from 12 to 80. It even has male patterns every now and then. I've had to get the old issues on ebay or Knits sells a CD. Along with the great patterns are very informative articles. But what really sets this apart are the wealth of the designers that they use, the wide range of yarns used, the fact that most patterns come in larger sizes (up to 3X) (unlike Vogue Knitting) and they are so current. I find myself going back to these mags again and again for patterns. I also like the fact that they show the sweater/hat, etc. from a number of different angles. This is a must if you are a knitting maven who has withdrawal symptoms if they have knitted in 24 hours.
