Cindy,
By Cindy Brown (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knit'N Style (Magazine)
I have subscribed to this magazine for the last year. There are good quality photos, hand & machine knitting instructions, and schematics for every pattern. However, instructions are sometimes on the same page, a few pages later, or in the back of the magazine--not consistent and sometimes challenging to find. It would be nice if the editor would have these in a consistent location.

Hit or miss,
By abt1950 "abt1950" (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knit'N Style (Magazine)
"Knit N Style" has been around for a long time--I remember picking it up when I first began knitting seriously several decades ago. It has some nice patterns, but overall I find it the least useful of the major knitting magazines. I don't know about its current policies, but it used to be a vehicle by which the yarn manufacturers promoted their wares. On numerous occasions, the patterns published in "Knit N Style" were pattterns previously published as leaflets by the manufacturer of the yarn suggested. I don't know if this continues to be their policy, and they have made attempts to upgrade the editorial content with informational features. Nonetheless the magazine's quality remains lower than that of Knitters, Vogue Knitting, etc. My advice is to check it out at the newstand and if you see a pattern you like, then buy it.

to many errors,
This review is from: Knit'N Style (Magazine)
The magazine has a broad range of patterns. Out of 1 year there are about 10 things I want to make. Or I should say I wanted to make- Until I started on the first one.
They have a high percentage of errors in the patterns. One Issue had 13 out of 30 that had corrections. The worst part is, they don't seem to post corrections until a reader has tried to knit the item and told them what was wrong. Which means that unless you want to do a lot of counting, calculating, ripping and reknitting, you have to wait until an issue has been out for 6 months and other readers have found the errors. I'm working on a cardigan that I plan to give to someone for Christmas, and have found 2 major errors so far. No idea if I will get this done in time and when I get done if I'll have a cardigan or a layette! One more error that causes me to rip it out and start over and I'll find a new pattern or make my own. After spending $130 on angora yarn to make this gift, I'm not going to give up, but the renewal notices I get for the magazine are promptly thrown out. update- Still working on the cardigan, have pretty much had to start over and redesign the pattern on my own. Still no correction online, but they have added many other corrections for other patterns from this issue. The Corrections sometimes are little, simple ones, but some of the corrections are a total rewriting of the instructions or charts! I have thrown out all of the magazines so I don't get tempted to try another pattern from them.
