• Pros: great ideas, seasonal, nothing too difficult
• Cons: lots of ads

Although ads are nice to see what's new for knitters, I'd like less in Knit Simple magazine. It seems like they buy ads from many manufacturers selling the same item! That said, I grab Knit Simple magazine as soon as I see it. The articles are interesting and informative. I've learned a lot just reading Knit Simple before I even attempted the knit patterns! The patterns are clear, and nothing in the magazine requires tons of attention or experience. These are the fun, relaxing knit-in-front-of-the-TV things that are quite lovely made up. It also gives me a chance to try new stitches or techniques on an easier project, and inspirational ideas for my own patterns and ideas. I like that they picture the items and then have the patterns in the back portion along with a reference photo. Teens and adults will definitely find plenty to create! Each volume has a very nice how-to segment, so you need only carry the magazine and your yarn and needles! You can reference the how-to section as needed. This is for beginner to intermediate levels, but I know a lot of advanced, very experienced knitters who use this magazine a lot. I recommend for all knitters, easier for beginners, but relaxing for advanced knitters. (Unless they're strictly a Vogue Knitter,which is usually way beyond my likes or concentration!)

• Pros: Nice patterns, very organized, helpful reviews

I love Knit Simple magazine for its creativity and instruction. I've made many of the patterns over time and all came out very well. I love to knit, consider myself intermediate. You can learn from this magazine, too.
