I took a look at Verena online and it looks fresh and interesting. I heard people are having trouble subscribing online. Has anybody else seen this mag? Opinions?

When I worked in a yarn store, I was always disappointed by Vogue--never really liked the patterns, always seemed to call for big bulky yarn to make things knit fast (but look all funky and bulky) and they often had errors, or were badly put together (e.g. why oh why knit a sweater is so many pieces and then sew everything together? Save yourself the work and the bulky seams and just knit it all in a big piece). Interweave knits I read as soon as it came in--classic patterns, well-constructed, and the info articles were great. I never personally subscribed, b/c I've got way too many patterns as is, but I would recommend Interweave.

I subscribe to Vogue and IK and knit projects from both.

I subscribe to IK but that's it so far. I've bought a couple of one-off issues of other magazines, but pretty much only when I really want to make a pattern that I find on Rav. I'm impressed by the articles in IK, though, and I'll definitely re-up that subscription whenever it comes due.

If I was to subscribe to any of the magazines, it probably would be IK, however having had a gift subscription to spin-off, and having had problems with the sub, I'm a bit wary of subbing to IK.

I am intrigued that Verena has an online sub option for 12/yr. IK would have to be my next fav.

I don't subscribe to any of them, but I do buy IK and Simply Knitting on a tooooooooooooo regular basis... I do use the patterns that are in them, and mix/match the patterns also!

I pick them up only if there's something that I want to knit. Frankly there's enough freebies on the web.
