I don't know, probably not too terrible thing to pay for it. I mean, it has useful information and it's not always all about Ashford. Most magazines we pay for have some sort of "agenda" - certain favored stable of designers, favored equipment manufacturers (sometimes hidden in product features), etc. And a fair number of the European knitting "magazines" are strictly from pattern houses and feature only their own patterns and we pay for those magazines when we can find them.
The cost of everything has gone up and will probably continue to go up. I would think, given the exchange rate (and here I'm referring to USD vs just about everything else), that their U.S.sales have dipped a bit so they have to pick up the slack somewhere - Maybe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Suzanne Correira, www.fireantranch.com in Elgin, TX Black Welsh, Gulf Coast & Shetlands: Fibers/Yarns/Goods Roberta & Majacraft Wheels.
