From Our Readers

I loved the March issue! I have such a hard time finding knitting patterns to fit my 8 year old daughter and this one had plenty. Most patterns are for babies or adults. Thanks so much for sharing these patterns.

I really enjoy the magazine. I particularly like the pictures with page numbers for all the projects that are in the back of each issue.

I am not an advanced knitter. I started learning last summer with a class to learn the basics. At the time I subscribed to Creative Knitting. I made some simple scarfs at Christmas. I guess I am still a beginner+ knitter and have just restarted taking a weekly class and carrying your magazine with me to select the patterns that I want the teacher to teach me how to knit. Creative Knitting does wonders and brings joy to knitters of all ages and skills. You choose lovely selections to inspire and bring out the best in knitting to all of us. Your presentation of the articles and the way the patterns and information are presented is something that I enjoy looking through over and over again. I have just renewed for 2 additional years and hope to see you continue for many more years. I reread and review each issue many, many times. I feel I am becoming a better knitter because of the magazine and a happy person from day to day because of it. Happy summer and thank you for the beautiful gift that you have given to all of us.

I am an American who has lived in Ireland for 15 years and loves to knit, crochet, etc. I belong to knitting groups, I have had subscriptions to magazines in the recent past, and I always check my local shops for the UK knitting magazines (2 or 3 are available). I even have a magazine that is all in French, from a recent trip. But I prefer your magazine! Your website is wonderfully done and helpful, too. I picked up 2 copies of your magazine on a trip home last year and I really want a subscription.

Let me complement you on a great magazine. I read it cover to cover each month.

Hi! I just received the September issue and I love it!

I love Creative Knitting magazine and I have been a subscriber for a couple of years.

I have just now entered a new subscription to your wonderful magazine. I appreciate all your great articles.

Keep up the good work! Creative Knitting is my favorite knitting magazine. I especially like that the patterns are for REAL people!

I am 69 years old and learned to knit "at my Mother's knee," and have kept it up all my life. One of our grandsons told his teacher in the lower grades that "my Grandma really loves to knit." I do and if things don't turn out the way I want, I change the pattern to do what I want it to. I have learned to knit with my eyes shut, or watching something else, and when our boys were wrestling in high school, I always brought my knitting to keep my hands busy. The more exciting the match got, the faster I would knit. Because I've always counted the knitting as an extra project to keep my hands busy, I feel that if I'm just sitting, or riding in a car, I'm not taking good advantage of that time because my hands are just resting in my lap, and I about go "nuts."

Your Creative Knitting magazine is one of the best that I've received over the years. I told my friend, "I find myself reading all the articles in it" and she agreed with me. Thank you so much.
