Naturally, if you are seeking information or a particular service, then the ads are there for you to trawl through, but the same ads seem to crop up month after month, which becomes repetitive and stale once you have read a couple of issues. Simply Knitting usually has a very good free gift, the issue I have in front of me as I write this (October 2009) ha...more

Premium Review Simply Knitting: Neat knits or not? (1280 words)
by - written on 05/10/07 (Very useful, 162 readings)
Rating:

I have knitted since a very young age, although I did very little in my twenties and early thirties because hand knitting had become untrendy. In recent years, it has increased in popularity again - even superstars like Catherine Zeta-Jones enjoy the craft - and so I ended up picking up my needles again in early 2007. Since then, I've knitted a variety of jumpers/cardigans/hats both for myself, my sister and my about-to-be-born niece/nephew, several pieces of which I have made following patterns from this magazine. Where to buy? I have never seen this magazine to buy in a shop, although apparently it can be ordered from newsagents for £3.99 per issue. I ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Are you a knit-wit? Simply Knitting magazine. (878 words)

Review of Simply Knitting Magazine. Simply Knitting, as the name suggests is a monthly magazine dedicated to the craft of knitting. The magazine is available in newsagents and supermarkets at a cost of £4.99 or from various on line magazine subscription services, at a slightly lower rate. I enjoy hand knitting when the mood takes me, sometimes I will knit every day for a month and then not touch my needles again for ages, I am currently in a knitting and reading phase, two things I find easy to do at the same time! Multi tasking, I guess! **About Simply Knitting** The magazine is a glossy treasure trove for all ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Simply Knitting: Simply brilliant for all knitters (262 words)
by - written on 08/06/09 (Very useful, 11 readings)
Rating:

I started knitting in 2006 in my mid twenties after it was recommended as an antidote to stress and anxiety and have been addicted ever since. I was a bit wary of knitting magazines, believing them to probably have hideous patterns with cheap yarn, so I was pleasantly surprised with Simply Knitting. First of all there is often a really genuinely useful free gift. I have had a project bag that has been in constant use and still going, a set of stitch holders and markers and a needle gauge among others, including the odd set of needles and crochet hooks. These are things that I would have spent upwards of £3-£5 on so well worth the cover price and they work as ...  Read the complete review

Simply Knitting is a great magazine for knitters , it costs £3.99 and comes out once a month. I usually buy Simply knitting from either Tesco`s or Asda`s. The magazine is packed with knitting patterns for the whole family , last month they had a pattern for a christmas tree and decorations by the designer Alan dart I really love his patterns! You will also find a lot of hints and tips on how to improve your knitting skills and there is a knitting library which shows lots of different stitches , very handy if you are fed up with doing boring stocking stitch! There is also a question and answer page which is very good as sometimes it gives you ideas and answers ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Simply Knitting: Fun and Fabulous Value for Money (186 words)
by - written on 13/05/09 (Somewhat useful, 4 readings)

Simply Knitting is a brillaint magazine for those who have been knitting for years and for those who are just beginning. I finally subscribed to this as it became so popular I was at risk of missing out every month! Great pictures of the designs, very clear instructions for you follow. The monthly stitch library is also helpful and encourages you to try things you might not have done in the past. They also provide you with some options for yarns and talks about how to do things cheaper or differently. The "One Ball Pattern" feature is great fun. The designs are modern and they cover all ages and styles in the magazine. The main fault would be that some patterns ...  Read the complete review
