yeah it’s cheese with a capital C!! I am 26, and learned to knit at 24. It’s not my kinda mag. Phildar, now that’s a knitting mag for 20 something! I wish we had that in the states!

I bought the mag knit1 and later found it my young teen age sons’ bedroom!!! Could be because of the leggy blond in the white, knitted, string bikini!! I guess knitting is sexy

Personally I thought Knit.1 was a great magazine. I started knitting when I was in high school, but stopped because I couldn’t find any stylish patterns. I discovered Knit.1 by accident in the bookstore (I’m now a senior in college) and fell in love with the craft all over again. My favorite part of the mag is that both issues featured a little trinket-like craft, which are just PERFECT to get my creative juices going and they also make quick, excellent, gifts. I consider Knit.1 to be like a diving board for people like me. Now I get to swim in a really big pool of other magazines thanks to it. ^^

where is your review of KnitKnit? I am curious to read it. KnitKnit is much different that Knit.1,

Heather,
I see you liked the Vogue Knit 1.. My daughetr bought it and sent it to me with several things to make for her..
I have completed the #6 pattern except for the ruffle…
It does not come out right(the ruffle)
Do u know if there are any corrections to this magazine??
The ruffle comes out like a Flat picot!

Thanks Penny

Oh, chill out about the review! Everything she said is true, and it’s okay to disagree with it at the same time. I personally like parts of it, and other parts are really annoying (way too trendy for me, but I’m not the target dem), but I’m buying it. I like the orange men’s sweater in the first on, and I like a couple of the things in the second one. We’ll see where it goes and how long it stays around.

The best part of it is that I’m sending my SIL one, a frosh in college in design who might like the article in the second one about it and finally let me teach her to knit.

The 2nd edition is even better than the first! I love the beaded curtain, white dress, lacy skirt, the bandeau and the bomber jacket!

Those pattern are really cool. I am surprised that the US can come up with unique, young patterns like that.

I don’t think that the name “Vogue” is getting dragged down by Lionbrand. “Vogue” always seemed snooty to me (even the sewing pattern, yawn!), but thanks to Knit.1 this view changed.

i love knit.1 and i cant wait until the next edition! (feb. 10) just because you dont like new fashions doesnt mean that others hate it too. i love the magazine and have done so many of the patterns in just 2 months. and its a great gift for teens, you should be thankful. its getting the younger generation interested so that this great hobby wont die out. it makes grannies look cool, and i love it!

I can’t believe how hostile that reviewer is. Really… it’s just a knitting mag. If it gets younger people interested in knitting then why not??? If she doesn’t like it so much she can stick to her crunchy granola alpaca rollneck pullover patterns and leave the cute stuff to the stylish girls. she’s obviously threatened by cute girls knitting. so there.

it is kinda naff but i’m also bored crapless over knitting mags full of patterns for middle aged women so i picked it up. i haven’t had a great look through it yet but the accessory patterns look quite nice.

the blatant cross-promotion of VK and Lion Brand really shits me though…
