Advantages: Nice cover

Disadvantages: A little twee for my liking

Three are three craft magazines on the news stands at the present time and if you were to put them into order, this would come second. (To Crafts Beautiful; Practical Crafts would come last)

This is a nice title, don't get me wrong, only I find the content often a little twee. The craft projects featured more often than not do not appeal to my taste. I prefer crafts to be a bit funky, clever, dazzling, using new techniques and products. To me, Popular Crafts seem to appeal to 'grannies' - no offence to grannies of course, but it's just not my style. Now and again you get the odd project which is nice but all in all I find the crafts old fashioned and not the type I would like to make.

Having said that, there's plenty of other stuff to read in there. News and views, new products, readers letters, the odd article or feature, a good classified section. Not one that I buy consistanly though.
