Vogue Knitting Magazine

I am not a perfect knitter, an experienced knitter, or even a knitter first. First and foremost, I am a student, a friend, a girlfriend, a teenager, and so on. However, in my spare time I am a knitter. I am a self-taught knitter and love the feeling of accomplishment, but so many books and magazines assume you already know everything and can jump right in.

Vogue Knitting magazine doesn't expect you to run before you can walk or purl before you can knit. Instead they have patterns for varying levels of expertise and many articles that can interest all readers from those who have just begun to knit to those who have read hundreds of similar articles, but still find something interesting and new to add to their repertoire.

These magazines are written toward every level of knitter and are magazines for knitting as the title suggests. However, crocheters who do some knitting on the side can find information they want or need within these covers as well, so it is not strictly knitting. It has information for spinning, dyeing, crocheting and, of course, knitting.

The only thing that I would suggest to Vogue Knitting to change about their magazine is the number of issues per year. One simply cannot get enough of their articles and patterns and needs to be offered their help more and more.
