For knitters, this is one of the top magazines. Lots of good articles and patterns. I have subscribed for years and watched them grow.

Looking back over my knitting history, it becomes clear to me that a large number of patterns I've actually chosen to make have come from a Knitter's Magazine. However, for every one pattern that I adore, there are about 20 others that I find absolutely hideous: color mixes that are reminiscent of a 70s-era rumpus room -- orange, brown, and red put together in stripes; bulky, 80s-era, plain purple cardigans with absolutely no adornment to make them stand out; boxy, unappealing silhouettes; a strange predilection for particular styles like domino and odd patchworks...sometimes even the models seem embarrassed by what they have on. I let my subscription lapse after one year because I found myself more often laughing at what I saw than being inspired by it.
I don't mean to be rude, but I think a lot of the patterns skew to an older audience. If you're under 40, you might want to look elsewhere. Although, maybe you'll want to pay out the money for the one attractive pattern usually hidden in among the dross of each issue.

I'm a beginner and this magazine came highly recommended by experts at the yarn store. At first I was amazed at the amount of advertizing. I enjoy the variety of patterns offered. It still may be a little too advanced for my stage of knitting when reading pattern instructions. Overall, I look forward to future issues.
Yarn packs make this a great magazine December 26, 2006

One reason I adore Knitter's is that they sell yarn packs for the projects on their website. Few things are more frustrating than finding a pattern in a yarn and color you love and not being able to find the yarn anywhere! If only more magazines would do this!
It is good for my knitting soul! July 10, 2006

Living far away, I get my magazines weeks after it is on the streets in US. This waiting period is long! I hope for the mag every day, and send at least two impatient e-mails to the customers service. In Norway we havent got knitting mags you can read,only with patterns. I have been knitting all my life, my hobby has been much more satisfactory after I found Knitting (and Interweave Knits). I find patterns that I want to knit, get ideas how I can knit something other on the basis of a pattern. I can plan what I will knit next year, buying a lot of yarn for future projets! The informations I get about American knitting women, makes me happy! Grete
