From Our Readers

I want to say that I LOVE your magazine. I've been getting it for a couple of years now. I try to make at least one item out of each magazine. Thank you so much for such a wonderful knitting magazine.

I just picked up your July issue and I must say I LOVE IT! I am a plus size knitter who is always searching for patterns that would fit me and I found them in your magazine. I am currently knitting your Spearmint Topping Shrug (from the July 07 issue) and can hardly wait to finish and start another sweater. I might even try to knit it on one of my knitting machines. Please keep up the great ideas and patterns as I am looking forward to purchasing the next issue.

I just wanted to thank you for the frequent inclusion of attractive plus-sized patterns for men and women up to 3X in your magazine. It seems that a number of other publications and yarn manufacturers either ignore us entirely, or throw us a bone by giving us something matronly, boxy or unsexy, perhaps in an effort to hide our obviously undesirable flesh. Your magazine gives us a great opportunity to play up our positive features and make us feel good while looking sharp with classic lines and real person fit, in a variety of yarns and techniques from cables to lace. I can feel good about purchasing your magazine and I like to support merchants that support people like me, so keep up the good work and know your staff's efforts are appreciated.

Your magazine has so much in it that I love and very do-able patterns in the yarns that are economical to use and buy and within my limited budget! Thanks so much. Plus knowing that I can knit for charities makes the work I do worthwhile! I know that I'm really helping someone I don't know in a practical way! I love that.

Keep making this magazine as special as it is now. I share it with friends I've made at a knit shop near me and we do the projects together in different colors and send them out in a group.

I really enjoy the magazine and the digital subscription is such a wonderful archive. I knit every day and look forward to going through the archives and magazines. I intend to continue my membership with Creative Knitting magazine forever.

I had just gotten some size 17 circular needles and was trying to make an afghan with them all curled up. Then your magazine came with the solution. I undid what I had done so far and followed your solution for straightening them. It worked great. Thank you so very much. I think if I had tried for one more day with the curly needles, I would have thrown them away. I also made a holder for all of my circular needles which I hang in a closet.

I picked up a couple issues from the newsstand and found so many things that I want to knit, so I decided to subscribe. Noting the offer for the digital version included access to issues from the past two years, I opted for that choice. OH, MY GOODNESS!!! I have had a ball the last couple of hours, interrupted only to prepare a quick dinner for my husband, and came right back to the computer. I'm sure my knitting needles will start smoking from all the items I have planned to knit . . . before Christmas, of course! Love the magazine . . . digital and paper!

Creative Knitting is the very best knitting magazine I have ever subscribed to!!! I have been a knitter since I was a sophomore in high school some 64 years ago. It's so nice to have patterns that tell you what kind of yarn is used, a variety of sizes, skill level and a back page with pictures of every item! I can't tell you how much I look forward to it's arrival and stop what I'm doing to browse through it. I'm currently knitting for a church group and I have used so many patterns from Creative Knitting especially the baby blankets and kids sweaters. Thank you, and I look forward to the next issue.

The articles in your magazine are inspiring and so very helpful, too.

I must thank you for the latest issue of Creative Knitting. It arrived today and is TERRIFIC!!! The yarns and styles are just wonderful. I want to knit everything, and that's rarely the case with any of the knitting magazines lately. Now I just have to decide which one to do first. What a treat.
