I started knitting a couple of years ago and in my enthusiasm I went out and bought a bunch of books that each had a couple patterns that I liked. I spent a ton of money. Very recently I subscribed to digital Creative Knitting with the option to access back issues online. I decided to knit a vest for my mom and needed a pattern for a full-figured lady. The thought of going through the all those books was daunting and I wasn't sure that any of those patterns would include the larger sizes. Then I remembered that I could search by keyword the digital back issues of Creative Knitting! To the computer I went and entered "vests" and up popped several issues. The beauty of the search tool is that not only does it give me the issue, but also the page number my keyword is on. When I clicked on one of those issues, a PDF of the whole issue opens. I then went to the page numbers referenced, and right on the page with the pattern, it tells me whether it includes directions for large sizes! That made the search so easy. I can also easily see the skill level. I may never look at my books for a pattern again, unless I have a lot of time on my hands. |

This morning, just before my mail, I sent a renewal in for my subscription. I am delighted that I made that decision. Your magazine is the best of the current knitting issues and I do subscribe to most of them.
