Hi Vicki and all,
I have been going through agonies regarding Spin-Off and Handwoven,
but have renewed for 2 years. I am now wishing I had not. First, the
last issues of each were at least one month late, although Spin-Off
has extended my subscription. No satisfaaction from Handwoven. I
finally got that issue (Jan/Feb) last week and the articles and
offerings have definitely been dummied down. It is either too much
multi-shaft or too easy and uninspiring simple articles. Also, I did
not like the focus on the new fancy yarns. I would prefer nice
articles made from easily obtainable cottons and wools. The last
Spin-Off does not seem to be too inspiring either and once again, my
objection is with the focus on the super expensive fibre. I do sound
like a grump, but the magazines are expensive, should arrive on time
and should have something we can get our teeth into.

I think the changes in Spin-Off and Handwoven that you are talking
about are largely due to the absence of gurus and scholars like Rita
Buchanan and others. There's a whole new clique in there now. I keep
hanging on hoping to see these magazines turn the corner to a new stage
of development. If you have these strong feelings about SpinOff and
Handwoven not delivering for you, I encourage to email Linda Ligon the
publisher. I did that some time ago, and she responded Promptly. She's
the one who needs to hear these concerns.
