Never had a subscription to Piecework as I am not a needlecrafter. I dropped Threads after I got bored with the emphasis on fancy embroidery machines that cost more than my three used looms together. Strangely, I have been sewing less as the local stores only sell cheap materials like poly fleece. Luckily I still have my stash which will probably last the rest of my working life.
Spin off I still like, just to see what people are doing. Forget the cashmere, I cant afford it (or wont spend the money, more accurately, just for another fiber). Same with quivit. It is true that after a number of years I have seen the articles before and tried the techniques, but that is the way things go. I still enjoy the reports on projects and the ads for stuff I just might decide to want. I dropped Handwoven, mostly because I find the projects not very interesting. They are too easy, too many darn scarfs, and the colorways or photography or something just do not inspire me. Things like how to warp are better found in books, at least in my opinion. A magazine should be more of the moment, and should assume that at least some of the readers have got to the second or third weaving project. Same with the knitting magazines. I am very happy that there are more new knitters out there, and expect the magazines and supplies to improve greatly with time, but there are a lot of very simple very bulky sweater (as in unwearable) patterns out there. I still subscribe to Vogue and Interweave Knits. Nancy To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
